How to Get a Utah Medical Cannabis Card in 2025 — Step-by-Step Guide
Getting your Utah medical cannabis card can feel confusing with the online systems and state requirements. At Evergreen Mind & Medicine, a Logan-based Qualified Medical Provider (QMP) clinic, we help Utah residents through every step — from qualifying to applying to renewing their card. This 2025 guide explains the process clearly so you can get approved quickly and legally.
Step 1: Confirm You Qualify for a Utah Medical Cannabis Card
To qualify for a Utah medical cannabis card, you must:
Be a Utah resident
Be 18 years or older
Have a qualifying medical condition approved by the Utah Medical Cannabis Program (learn more here)
Have a valid government-issued ID
Common qualifying conditions include chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, and other persistent or debilitating conditions that have not responded well to traditional treatment.
Step 2: Schedule with a Licensed QMP in Logan or via Telehealth
A Qualified Medical Provider (QMP) is a licensed clinician authorized by the Utah Department of Health to recommend medical cannabis.
At Evergreen Mind & Medicine, you’ll meet with Chandler Reed, PMHNP, a certified QMP who provides compassionate, evidence-based evaluations. During your visit, he’ll review your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals to determine whether medical cannabis may be appropriate for you.
📍 In-person appointments are available in Logan, Utah, with telehealth renewals available statewide. Schedule with our qualified medical provider.
Step 3: Create Your Utah ID and EVS Account (Pre-Appointment Setup)
Before your appointment, you’ll complete a few quick online steps:
1️⃣ Create a Utah ID → Utah ID Account Creation Guide
2️⃣ Log in to the Electronic Verification System (EVS) → Utah Medical Cannabis EVS Portal
3️⃣ Start your patient application in the EVS
This part usually takes under 15 minutes and helps your provider connect your application to their certification after your visit.
Step 4: Provider Certification + State Application
Once your QMP determines you meet the qualifying criteria, they’ll submit the certification directly in the EVS.
You’ll then:
Pay the state medical cannabis card fee ($8 as of July 1, 2025)
Submit your completed application through the EVS portal
After approval, you’ll receive your official Utah Medical Cannabis Card electronically from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Step 5: Download Your Card and Visit a Licensed Pharmacy
After your card is approved, you can download or print it from your EVS dashboard. Bring your card and a valid photo ID any time you visit a Utah-licensed medical cannabis pharmacy.
At your first pharmacy visit, a trained pharmacist will review your medical history and recommend product options tailored to your condition and treatment goals.
Step 6: Renew Your Utah Cannabis Card Annually
Your Utah medical cannabis card will typically be valid for up to 12 months, depending on your provider’s recommendation.
To stay compliant:
Schedule your renewal evaluation before your card expires
Keep your pharmacy consultations current
Maintain an active relationship with your QMP
At Evergreen, we make renewals simple with virtual appointments statewide after your initial in-person evaluation.
