Process to schedule an appointment

  • Requests for an appointment can be sent via email to payments@cannabis.ca.gov or you can call us at 1-844-61-CA-DCC (1-844-612-2322).
  • Appointment requests will have customers complete an appointment application to facilitate scheduling. Email us at payments@cannabis.ca.gov to request an appointment application. The one-page form should be filled out and then returned by email to payments@cannabis.ca.gov.
    • You may request that a DCC representative contact you by phone for appointment scheduling. Please be prepared to provide a preferred date and time for the appointment and answer simple questions about your business.
  • Once the appointment application has been received by the Department, an appointment confirmation email will be sent.
  • Customers are encouraged to provide their preferred appointment dates and times to ensure an appointment that will best fit their schedule.
  • The customer scheduling the appointment and the owner(s) associated with the license will receive an appointment confirmation. Please note: cash collection appointments on Friday afternoons are by special appointment only.
  • Customers are responsible for rescheduling any missed appointments as needed. Email us at payments@cannabis.ca.gov or call us at 1-844-61-CA-DCC for more details.
