How to Apply for a Caregiver Card

Once the patient hits “+New Caregiver” and adds the new caregiver’s information, they’ll save and submit the application. This will trigger an email to send to the caregiver listed with additional instructions.
- If they haven’t already done so, the person designated as caregiver must first create a UtahID account by going here.
- After creating a UtahID account, click “Caregiver Registration” and complete the application, then hit “Register.”
