April 4th, 2020 - Proof of Residency Requirement Clarification.
The State of New Mexico Motor Vehicle Department has closed offices and cancelled appointments due to the current Executive Order on COVID-19 issued on March 11, 2020 and the subsequent related Public Health Orders (Department of Health’s COVID-19 Site). In light of this the Medical Cannabis Program is making the following adjustment and clarification for the New Mexico proof of residency identification requirement in order to best serve patients.
Any new enrollment or re-enrollment for patient, caregiver, or personal production applications submitted to the Medical Cannabis Program with a New Mexico Driver’s License or New Mexico Identification Card which expired on or after March 11,2020 will be considered as having submitted a valid New Mexico ID or Driver’s License and processed as usual. Licensed Non-Profit Producers and dispensaries may accept an expired New Mexico Driver’s License or New Mexico Identification Card as proof of identity if it expired on or after March 11, 2020. This adjustment will remain in place until the NM Motor Vehicle Department re-opens for in-person services at which time expired identification cards will no longer be accepted.
