    How to Become a Caregiver

    To qualify as a designated caregiver, you must register with Minnesota’s Medical Cannabis Program. Caregivers must be at least 18 years old.

    NOTE: A patient’s spouse or their parent/legal guardian can act as a caregiver.

    Minnesota's Medical Cannabis Program allows a patient's spouse, parent or legal guardian to act as a caregiver without having to go through a separate registration form.

    When a patient is completing their online enrollment application, they can add the name and contact information for their spouse, parent or legal guardian to act as a caregiver.

    In addition to providing an electronic copy of their government-issued photo ID, the following materials are required:

    • Spouse - proof of marriage.
    • Parent - copy of the patient’s birth or adoption certificate.
    • Legal guardian – copy of their legal guardianship papers.


    How to register as a caregiver

    Your patient must add you to their Medical Cannabis Registry profile. This will generate an email to you with instructions on completing your registration form.

    To complete the online portion of your registration, you will need your:

    • Government-issued photo ID, driver’s license or passport.
    • Mobile device to capture an image of your ID.

    You will be required to upload an electronic copy of your government-issued photo ID (state ID, driver’s license, or passport). The form will allow you to select a scanned copy of an image or use a photo of your ID you took with your mobile device.

    *Note that as of July 1, 2024 caregivers no longer have to complete a background check.
