In order to register as a patient's caregiver, you must have a Pennsylvania driver's license or a Pennsylvania state-issued ID card with your current address. If the patient is already registered, you will need the patient's name, date of birth and patient ID number.
The law defines a "caregiver" as an individual 21 years of age or older unless otherwise authorized by the department, who is
- Designated by a patient;
- A parent, legal guardian or spouse of a patient that is under the age of 18; or
- Designated to be a caregiver by a parent, legal guardian or spouse.

All caregivers must register with the department and then follow the instructions that are provided to complete a criminal history background check. Any criminal record will be reviewed prior to approval. You cannot be approved as a caregiver if you have been convicted of a criminal offense relating to the sale or possession of drugs, narcotics, or controlled substances within the last five years.

Your card will be mailed once payment is processed. Cards usually arrive within 7 to 10 days, although sometimes it may take longer.

A patient and their designated caregiver may possess up to a 30-day supply of medical marijuana products.
