HL·20 Registering
Your document, their checks.
If we provide a medical document, you register with a federally licensed seller. Here's what's in the document and what happens next.
| Part | What it says |
|---|---|
| The practitioner | Name, profession, business address and phone, the province they practise in and their registration number |
| You | Your name and date of birth, and where you were seen |
| Daily amount | In grams of dried cannabis a day |
| Period of use | Days, weeks or months, and never more than a year |
| Signature | Signed and dated, confirming it's correct and complete |
Longest a medical document lasts1 year
From the day you first register with a seller. We review before it ends.
We don't choose your seller. Health Canada publishes the list of licensed sellers for medical purposes. Compare them yourself; we have no ties to any of them.
HL·21 Step by step
Three steps, three checks.
We send the original
Sellers need the original medical document, not a copy. We send it directly, and confirm it when they call to check.
They register you
The seller checks the document and our registration, then registers you and gives you a registration document and number.
