3. Submit

Once your physician submits your information to the Florida Department of Health (FDOH):

  1. You will receive an email with a username and password to login to the Florida MMUR.

  2. You will need to apply and pay $75 to the FDOH

    • For online applications, FDOH accepts debit or credit cards.

    • If time is not of the essence, you can print and mail in your application

Tips

  • To be eligible for seasonal residence, you must live in Florida for 31 consecutive days or more a year.
  • Bring your valid Florida state ID and 12 months of medical records to your doctor’s appointment.
  • Bring proof of residency that matches the address on your state ID. If these addresses don’t match, it may delay the process.
  • 7–14 days after you submit your application, you should receive an email that your registration is complete.
  • Your ID card will come in the mail soon. Until it does, you can use your Florida driver’s license or state ID to purchase your cannabis treatments.
