  3. Submit a Caregiver Application: Fill out the caregiver application on the Department of Health's website. This form will require information about the patient you'll be caring for.
  4. Pay the Application Fee: Pay the state’s $50 caregiver application fee.
  5. Get Approved: Once your application and background check are submitted, you’ll need to wait three to four weeks for approval from the Department of Health.
  6. Receive Your Caregiver ID Card: After completing the aforementioned steps, you'll receive a caregiver ID card that will allow you to purchase, possess, and administer medical marijuana to the registered patient(s) you signed up to care for.
