Member Card and Tags Printing and Ordering

1. Can I order extra card sets, keychain tags or decals when I first enroll to be included with the free membership kit?

   No. The enrollment process includes one free membership kit, free mobile app and free mailing for all domestic members. Due to ECD paying for the free membership kit and postage ECD does not allow other items to be included with the initial order. ECD recommends that each member use their free membership items for a while before deciding to order additional items. That will ensure you order and have the exact items you need to support your daily and emergency medical needs.
