Alabama patients cannot register for a medical cannabis card until a certifying physician submits an Electronic Physician Certification in the Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) portal. The physician selects every diagnosed qualifying condition, the certification period, the recommended daily dosage and the product forms, then attests and signs. The patient receives an email that the certification is ready to claim.
An Alabama MD or DO with an ALBME Medical Cannabis Certification Permit, earned through a four-hour course and exam, and an approved one-time New Physician Registration in the AMCC portal completes the whole certification. The patient and any caregiver then complete their own registrations.

Medical Cannabis Physician Certification (Alabama Medical Cannabis Patient Registry)
Alabama Medical Cannabis Commission (AMCC) / Alabama Board of Medical Examiners 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.

Up to 90 days, or up to 30 days for a patient capable of conception, who needs a negative lab-based pregnancy test repeated every 30 days. Recertification requires another in-person visit reaffirming the qualifying condition and continued need, and a lapse stops dispensary purchases until the patient is recertified.
No. ALBME rules prohibit telemedicine for certification, recertification and related examinations. The physician and patient must be in the same room, both physically in Alabama, and the physician must perform a physical exam and take a full medical history within a bona fide, ongoing relationship.
An ALBME Medical Cannabis Certification Permit (AMCP number), earned through a Board-approved four-hour course and exam, plus an approved New Physician Registration in the AMCC portal.
