For all applicants

• Gather all required documents before applying

  • Review this list to be sure you have everything you need before you begin the application process.

  • Be sure you have a PDF or JPEG copy of your valid Colorado ID or driver’s license. Invalid ID’s, expired ID’s and un-certified documents will not be accepted. We do not accept Colorado digital IDs from the MyColorado app.

• Choose a username and password that are easy to remember

• If your account is locked you can use the reset password feature to create a new password and unlock your account. After 3 incorrect password attempts your account will be locked

• During your appointment, ask your medical provider to verify that all information on your provider certification is correct. Providers can make updates to information on physician certifications at any time.

• Double-check that all the information on your application is correct before clicking "submit." You can correct your information until you add your physician certification.

Applying with a caregiver

To ensure your application is approved and your card is issued with a caregiver:

• Apply online.
• Talk with your caregiver.
• Follow the application instructions to ensure you submit all required information.
• Share your patient registration ID number with your caregiver.
• Make sure your caregiver accepts your online request for caregiver services.

Cards will be issued without a caregiver if information is missing or caregivers delay accepting the agreement. Incomplete applications will not be approved.

You can print a new card online with your caregiver’s name on it after your caregiver accepts the agreement.
