Section 7.34.040. Review and verification; return for incompleteness.

	(a)  The department will review an application for completeness and verify the information provided by the applicant including, as appropriate, contacting the applicant, the applicant's physician, and the applicant's primary care-giver, if one is designated at the time of application.  
	(b)  If an application is complete and the information provided by the applicant is satisfactorily verified, the department will issue a registry identification card to the applicant. Except as otherwise permitted under 7 AAC 34.030(b), if the application is complete and verified, but the applicant has named as primary care-giver an individual who has been designed as the primary care-giver for another patient who holds a valid registry identification card, the department will issue the registry identification card without designating a primary care-giver.  
	(c)  If an application is not complete or if information provided with the application cannot be verified, the department will  
		(1) return the application to the applicant without action on the application; and  
		(2) notify the applicant in writing of the reason for returning the application.  
	(d)  Within 30 days of the department's notice returning an application under (c) of this section, an applicant whose application has been returned may submit a revised application that includes such additional or corrected information as appropriate to address the department's reason for returning the application, including, if applicable, the name and address of a different person designated as the applicant's primary care-giver. If a revised application is timely submitted by the applicant, the department will review and verify the information provided in that application and either issue a registry identification card to the applicant or deny the application under 7 AAC 34.050.
