Secure Your IL Medical Marijuana Card in Hoffman Estates With Our Licensed Doctors

Applying for your medical marijuana card in Hoffman Estates requires a valid Illinois ID, a physician certification from one of our doctors, a recent passport-style photo, and $125 for the state application fee. We get you approved first, then you upload these documents to the Illinois Department of Public Health portal to complete your registration.

• Current Illinois driver’s license or state ID showing your Hoffman Estates address (if your address changed recently, you can use a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 90 days as proof of residency).
• Physician certification confirming your qualifying medical condition (we provide this document immediately after your 15-minute video call with one of our Illinois-licensed doctors).
• Digital passport-style photo taken within the past 30 days (use your smartphone to take a clear photo against a plain white or light-colored wall with your face fully visible).
• $125 payment for the state application fee (the Illinois Cannabis Tracking System accepts credit cards, debit cards, or electronic checks when you submit your application online).
• Working email address because Illinois emails your approval notification and digital medical cannabis card directly to you instead of mailing a physical card.
