Card Issues

Help! I've lost my card! The food handler provider website isn't working! My card didn't print!

To get a replacement food handler card you will need to contact the Local Environmental Health Officewhere you originally took the test. They will be able to issue a duplicate card for $5.00.

If you took the class online, you will need to contact the provider directly with your questions/problems. Each provider has contact information on their page that you can use to solve issues around online payment, printing, etc.
