UT ID & EVS Help
Utah Medical Marijuana - Utah EVS Guide
You’ve made an appointment with a Qualified Medical Provider (QMP) for medical cannabis and you now need to complete the state application.
You hear acronyms like UtahID and EVS. But what are they and how do you complete the state application?
In this Utah EVS Guide, we explain everything to help you get ready for your appointment.
Let’s get started!
What is UtahID?
UtahID is Utah’s online portal that gives Utah residents access to all the state’s services from one place. Think of it as a digital passport that connects you to all of Utah’s social services.
To apply for a medical cannabis card in Utah and before getting started with EVS, you MUST have a UtahID account.
Additionally, UtahID and EVS are synced to work together, meaning that logging into your UtahID account automatically logs you in your EVS account.
What is EVS?
EVS, or ‘Electronic Verification System‘, is Utah state’s online portal for patients to apply for a medical cannabis card.
In it, you can see your pharmacy purchase history, your QMP’s recommendations, as well as make application payments.
It is also used by qualified medical providers to issue patient medical cannabis card certifications and manage patients’ dosing recommendations.
Basically, it is used for all things medical cannabis in Utah so that the state can keep a record of it.
