Maine requires licensed providers to certify patients for the Medical Use of Cannabis Program through the Office of Cannabis Policy's online portal. The portal produces a standard certification that the provider prints on tamper-resistant paper supplied by the program, signs and hands to the patient, who uses it as their designation card. The state keeps no registry of certified patients and has no qualifying-condition list.
A Maine-licensed physician (MD or DO), certified nurse practitioner or physician assistant in good standing creates, prints and signs the whole certification. Patients cannot use the portal to apply for one themselves.

Medical Cannabis Certification (Medical Cannabis Certifications Online Portal)
Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Office of Cannabis Policy (Maine Medical Use of Cannabis Program) takes this form through its online services or your EMR, so there is no PDF to fill. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you complete it.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

No. A Maine-licensed provider may certify a patient for any condition the provider believes may benefit from medical cannabis, as long as the certification follows a full assessment of the patient's medical history within a bona fide provider-patient relationship. The certification is generated in the online portal and printed on program paper.
Yes, alongside the paper original. The certifying provider must issue a physical certification on the tamper-resistant paper provided by the Office of Cannabis Policy, and may also give the patient a legible digital image that includes all the information on the physical certification. Caregivers and dispensaries check for a valid certification before transferring cannabis.
No. The Office of Cannabis Policy keeps no list or registry of qualifying patients, and the printed certification serves as the patient's designation. A patient who no longer wants it can let it expire or dispose of it. A registry identification card is optional, and caregivers apply separately.
