      Florida State Process

      Congratulations on getting approved for your medical certification. Here's a guide to what you need to do next.

      If you're an existing medical card holder, click here for renewal instructions.

      Have the following ready before you begin your application:

      • Photo ID 
        • The Registry is connected to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ (FLHSMV) demographic database. If there is a match to the information in your profile, your state ID or driver’s license photo can be automatically added to your application and approved. 
      • Proof of Residency Documentation
      • $75 payment fee (Plus $2.75 convenience fee) 

      Here is the process for applying in Florida.

      For detailed instructions with images, click here.

      1. After your appointment with a Leafwell physician, you will receive 2x emails with the subject line "Medical Marijuana Use Registry New User Account" (here's a walkthrough for step 1).

        1. One email contains your username (your email address).

        2. The second email contains a temporary password - these passwords are case-sensitive.

        3. Click the link in the email to log into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry https://mmuregistry.flhealth.gov/.

        4. Click login in the top left, enter your email and password, and click the log in button.

        5. You will then be able to set your password - type the temporary password into the 'current password' box then set your own.

        6. Once this is done, you will be automatically redirected to your registry homepage.

      2. Click on "Your Card" and then click "Begin Initial Application."

      3. Click "Supply a Photo" to supply either your State ID photo or a passport-style photo to your application.

        1. Clicking “Check My State ID” will upload your driver’s license photo from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) demographic database.

        2. Clicking “Supply My Own” will allow you to upload your own photo from your device. (Using the FLHSMV sourced data will automatically approve the photo and may cut down on processing time, while supplying your own photo may increase the processing time.)

      4. Scroll down to the "Proof of Residence" section and click “Check State Residency Status” to obtain your Driver's License or Florida State ID from FLHSMV, or click “Supply My Own” to supply your own proof of residency document.

      5. Review all data to make sure it is accurate. Then click “Apply.”

      6. Electronically sign your application and click "Submit My Card Application."

      7. Pay the application fee.

      8. Click “Print for your Records” to print the payment confirmation for your records.

      9. The entire application review process takes a total of 10 business days from the date of submission. Once the application is approved you will receive an electronic temporary card to use while the physical official card is printed. Within 5 business days, the official card is mailed to you.
