Georgia residents can get a registry card for low-THC oil only through an annual physician certification. The physician checks the qualifying condition the patient is being treated for, answers questions on continued treatment, residency, length of care and other treatments, and attests that expected relief outweighs the risks. The patient and caregiver data then go into the Medical Cannabis Patient Registry.
A Georgia-licensed MD or DO with a principal place of practice in Georgia and a bona fide relationship with the patient, treating them for the qualifying condition, completes the whole form. Certifying is voluntary.

Medical Cannabis - Physician Certification
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
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.

Every year. The physician completes and submits a new Annual Medical Cannabis Certification for each patient and keeps a copy in the medical record. Between renewals, the physician updates patient and caregiver information in the registry and cancels the card if the patient moves out of state or dies.

No. DPH states that certifying is voluntary and no physician is required to certify a patient. Its physician page also cites Georgia Code 16-12-231 as protecting certifying physicians from arrest, prosecution and licensing board discipline for certifying patients in the registry.
