Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Florida certification

Short answers to help you understand the process. Your physician and the Florida Department of Health remain the authoritative sources for your individual situation.

Does scheduling an evaluation guarantee certification?

No. The physician must determine whether you meet Florida requirements and whether medical marijuana is appropriate for your situation.

Do I need to be a Florida resident?

Florida requires permanent or qualifying seasonal residency. Documentation requirements depend on your residency status.

Is physician certification the same as the state card?

No. Physician certification and the Florida identification card are separate parts of the process.

How often is physician reevaluation required?

Florida physician certifications are time-limited. Current Florida materials describe physician certification periods and order cycles; confirm your exact timing with your physician and registry profile.

Can I send my medical records through this website form?

Please do not submit medical records, diagnoses, images or other sensitive health information through the general website forms. The clinic will provide a secure process when records are required.
