hey deltachic, I'd PM you but I'm new to the site and don't know how. I got from your post that you recently moved to Colorado, I'd like to chat with you about the process of obtaining an mmj card for new residents. Do you have an email addy or a way to PM me?

I got from your post that you recently moved to Colorado, I'd like to chat with you about the process of obtaining an mmj card for new residents.

The biggest thing you will specifically need for the application is proof of residency (Colorado ID/license, Temp Colorado ID/license) or two of the following: out of state drivers license/ID, passport/military/tribal id AND work identification/paycheck stub/W-2 OR utility bill, medical/insurance bill or cable bill.

Other than that, there are a lot of Doctors that will write you a recommendation if you have a qualifying condition. Most recommendations are given because of severe pain. You should be able to find a number in the Westword. We have a Doc we recommend as well.

Once you have the recommendation, you send that, $90 and a copy of your ID to the state via certified mail. They have 35 days to reject you or issue a card. You can use a copy of your Dr's recommendation until then to make purchases. Make sure to save proof of mailing!

thx Releaf, 1 last question, do I need to do anything special to get a Colorado ID? Or can I walk in my first day in CO, give them my current state ID & new CO address and be good?

Anyone relocating to Colorado, surrendering a valid driver's license from another state is not required to take a written test, however a second primary form of identification establishing lawful presence, such as a birth certificate, or immigration document, must be presented along with the driver's license. The license from the other state must not have expired for more than one year. A vision screening test is required. The department has the authority, if there is good cause, to impose restrictions, limitations, or conditions which apply to the licensee's driving ability and any type of special mechanical control device required on a motor vehicle which the licensee may operate. The department may impose other restrictions applicable to the licensee as appropriate to assure the safe operation of a motor vehicle by the licensee.

If you are a Colorado resident who operates a motor vehicle or motorcycle on public streets and highways in Colorado, you must have the appropriate valid driver's license. A resident is defined as a citizen who has lived in Colorado for 90 continuous days; or upon becoming employed, whichever occurs first. If you are not a Colorado resident you can not be issued a Colorado license. Non-residents do not have to register their car in Colorado and may drive using their current, valid driver's license issued by their state or country of residence.

Driver licenses, instructional permits and Colorado identification cards can be obtained at 55 locations throughout the state. To apply for a license, instructional permit or duplicate, you must:

Submit 2 primary forms of identification. One form must establish lawful presence. Please see Identification Requirements for a complete list of acceptable identification documents.

Provide your Social Security Number.
Supply a Colorado residence address.
Pass all required examinations (written, vision and road performance).
Pay the required fee.
Be fingerprinted and photographed.
Adult Driver's Licenses are issued to persons who are at least 21 years of age and must be renewed every five years. Commercial Driver's Licenses must be renewed every four years.
