Identification
Full name, date of birth, and contact details that uniquely identify the signer for verification and recordkeeping.
A concise Legal Drug Use Statement creates a consistent, auditable record used to evaluate fitness for duty, accommodation requests, clinical safety, or compliance with program rules. It reduces ambiguity in downstream decisions and supports defensible administrative actions.
Organizations use Legal Drug Use Statements when decisions depend on verified information about lawful substance use or prescriptions.
Individuals preparing the statement should ensure accuracy and attach supporting medical authorization or prescription documentation when required by the receiving party.

Consent to contact a prescriber or to release limited information when required for validation or accommodation.
A signed declaration under penalty of law or organizational policy that information is true and complete to the signer’s knowledge.
