Step 1: Find a Doctor
West Virginia residents must first identify and schedule an appointment with a state-registered physician in order to receive their Patient Certification Form. NOTE: Registering for a Patient Card from the Office of Medical Cannabis is a separate action from registering for a physician's visit and acquiring a Patient Certification Form.
A list of local state-registered physician list available by in-person appointment can be found here.
You may also use our partner, Elevate Holistics, for a low-cost, online telemedicine evaluation, all from the comfort of your home!
Telehealth appointments are allowed in West Virginia! The following state-registered providers offer patient certification by telehealth:
Step 2: Register
Once you receive your Physician Certification, they will submit a copy of your Patient Certification Form directly to the Office of Medical Cannabis. This may take up to 24-hours to complete. Once completed, you can then apply for your medical cannabis card via the West Virginia MyComplia registration portal. You will need to register for an account before completing the application process in the portal by clicking on the "REGISTER" button in the top, righthand corner of the afore-provided MyComplia link. Please note: state registration fee is $50 (fee-waive options available through state while registering) and payment may only be made by mail-in check at this time.
Step 3: Apply
Once patients have registered, an application can be completed by logging into the MyComplia portal, clicking “+Create Application” and “New Patient Registration”.

Cards will expire after 1 year for patients registering after October 1, 2021.
