Address on Medical Card

Hey guys, just a quick question. Does anyone know if the address you ask for on your medical card has to be the same address on your driver's license? Tried looking for information on the AZDHS website and in the law itself, but couldn't find a clear answer (Shocker :roll:). Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It has to be your correct address. If either of your Id cards have incorrect addresses it would be wise to have them corrected. If your dl doesn't have your right address you can go to the dmv website and update it. Your dl won't have the right address on it but it will be correct in the system.

It is my understanding that the address on the DL and AMMA Card have to match - where you choose to cultivate is of no importance with regard to address. You are allowed to cultivate 12 plants at any "enclosed and locked facility" and it does not have to be made available for any inspection from law enforcement or AZDHS.

^^any "enclosed and locked facility" is what the law says. has nothing to do with the address on the card. I believe the application form asks for your HOME address, and that's the one that ends up getting printed on your card. they dont ask or care where your growsite address is, though


....i think what the op is really getting at, is whether the dhs will verify the address is correct. ie, if he sends them his drivers license showing his correct address which is within the 25 miles, but says he lives at his friends address which is outside of the 25 miles so they put that on the card and, more importantly, use that for qualifying his grow rights. would that work? based on what avon barksdale says, i think it would. apparently they didn't ask him to prove that he lives at the address he provided even though it didn't match his DL.

From what I gathered... Yes.

I know there was someone going around preaching about a "loophole"... Haven't found it yet.

Keep in mind the AzDHS has the authority to turn over info that they believe to be fraudulent or false which is a punishable crime in Az (believe a felony)

Remember signing the Attestation? Which states,
"I will not divert marijuana to any individual who or entity that is not allowed
to possess marijuana pursuant to AMMA and that the information provided in
the application is true and correct."

Consult a lawyer.
