Process

1. Create an account.

Go to my.legitscript.com to create an account and enter your contact information. Once you've set up an account, you'll be ready to proceed.

2. Start a new certification and pay for your application review.

Before completing the questionnaire, you'll pay the fee for the application review. You will not need to pay the annual subscription fee until after you have been certified. See pricing.

3. Complete the questionnaire.

You can save your progress and return to the questionnaire at your convenience. See Required Information for more details.

Note: Once your application has been reviewed for eligibility, you will be directed to submit product samples to LegitScript's partner labs for testing.

4. Clarify and remediate.

As our analysts review your application, they may reach out to you with questions or requests for additional information. They may also highlight areas of minor noncompliance that you'll need to remediate before receiving certification. By responding quickly to these requests, you can help streamline the review process.

5. Pay your subscription fee.

Once your application has been approved, you'll need to pay the annual subscription fee to finalize the process and be fully certified.

Download the CBD Product Certification Questionnaire or the CBD Website Certification Questionnaire to see what documents and information are required to apply.

LegitScript Certification brings a number of benefits to your business. Here are a few of the highlights, along with requirements for continued certification:

• Your submitted CBD products will be required to be third-party tested as part of the product application process.
  Your certified website will appear in LegitScript’s searchable database and your products will appear on our product page.
• You can display the LegitScript Seal of Approval. There are different seals for products and websites.
• You must have ongoing monitoring by LegitScript. (It's a requirement for certification.)
