North Dakota makes a health care provider's written certification a mandatory part of every medical marijuana patient application. The patient starts the application in the program's registration system and enters the provider's name and email; the provider receives an email request, completes the certification online, and the system links it to the application for program staff to review before a registry ID card is issued.
A physician, physician assistant or APRN licensed in good standing in North Dakota completes the whole online certification, and only when a bona fide provider-patient relationship exists. The patient completes the rest of the application, including the provider's contact details.

Medical Marijuana Written Certification (ND Medical Marijuana registration system)
North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services, Medical Marijuana 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.

The program says this usually happens when the patient entered the provider's email address incorrectly, or started an application without fully completing and submitting it. Ask the patient to review the application and verify every detail; once it is submitted with the right email, the request appears on your pending list.
Yes. A provider can rescind it after the card is issued, for example if the patient no longer has the qualifying condition or the bona fide relationship has ended. Contact the Medical Marijuana Program in writing; email suffices. Providers who retire or stop follow-up must notify the program, and their patients then have 90 days to renew with another provider.
No. The program's provider overview says the written certification is not a prescription. It is a mandatory part of the patient's application, and state law protects providers from arrest, prosecution or loss of privileges for issuing one or for refusing to. No provider is required to provide a written certification.
