🌱 Step 1: You Must Be a Permanent or Seasonal Florida Resident

The Florida Department of Health clearly states that to apply for a medical marijuana card, you must be:

• A permanent resident of Florida, or

• A seasonal resident who resides in Florida for at least 31 consecutive days per year

• 
  

🗂 Proof of residency is required, and it varies based on your status:

🔒 Permanent Residents Must Provide:

At least 1 valid form of proof, such as:

• Florida driver’s license

• Florida ID card

• Florida voter registration card

• Florida utility bill, mortgage, or lease agreement (in your name)

🛫 Seasonal residents (e.g. “snowbirds”) can still qualify! But they need to provide two documents, like:

• Lease or utility bill for your Florida address

• Out-of-state driver’s license

• Bank statement or government mail with Florida address

🧑‍⚕️ Step 2: You Need a Certified Medical Marijuana Doctor

You can’t just go to your regular doctor unless they are qualified by the state to recommend medical marijuana. The state of Florida requires that only certified physicians registered with the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) can evaluate patients.

With OMNI Medical, you’ll be connected with a qualified physician via secure telehealth appointment.

🖥️ In most cases, this can be done entirely online.

📌 Pro tip: Avoid scams — a “medical card” from an unregistered provider or out-of-state site won’t be accepted by Florida dispensaries.

💊 Step 3: You Need to Have a Qualifying Medical Condition

Of course, the most well-known requirement is that you must have a state-approved qualifying condition.

Florida law lists these specifically — you can view the full qualifying conditions list at:

https://knowthefactsmmj.com/patients/qualifying-conditions/

🩺 Common examples include:

• PTSD

• Chronic pain

• Cancer

• Epilepsy

• Multiple sclerosis

• HIV/AIDS

• Glaucoma

• Crohn’s disease

• Terminal illness

And importantly:

“Other debilitating medical conditions of the same kind or class” may also qualify.

✅ Your OMNI physician will determine if your condition qualifies during your telehealth appointment.

📝 Step 4: You Must Be Entered Into the MMUR (State Registry)

Once you’re approved by the doctor, they will enter you into the Medical Marijuana Use Registry (MMUR) — the official database maintained by the Florida Department of Health.

This creates your secure patient profile, which lets you:

• Submit your card application

• Manage renewals

• Update contact or residency info

• View approved product recommendations

📂 Your email address and phone number must be correct, as this is how the state contacts you.

You can access the MMUR here: https://mmuregistry.flhealth.gov

💳 Step 5: You Must Apply for Your State-Issued Medical Marijuana ID Card

After being entered into the MMUR, the final step is to submit your online card application and pay the $75 state fee.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Digital photo (like a driver’s license headshot)

• Proof of residency (uploaded PDF or image)

• $75 payment via credit card or e-check

• 
  

📬 Once approved, your official Florida medical marijuana card will be mailed to you — usually within 7–21 business days.

📆 Validity & Renewal

🕐 Your card is valid for 1 year, but:

• Your doctor’s recommendation must be renewed every 210 days

• You must submit a new card application each year with the $75 fee

🤔 What If You’re Under 18?

Yes, minors can qualify, but:

• A legal caregiver must be designated

• The minor must be evaluated by two certified physicians

• The caregiver must also apply for a Caregiver Card

•

🚫 Disqualifications & Restrictions

Here are a few things that won’t fly in Florida:

• Having a card from another state (Florida does not recognize out-of-state cards)

• Using cannabis without a valid card or expired card (yes, it’s still illegal)

• Driving under the influence of medical marijuana

• Sharing your medication with others

Stay safe, stay legal — always carry your card and use products as recommended.
