If your cannabis business is already in the njlegalize.me Directory but you haven't claimed it yet, you're missing out. Claiming your listing gives you control over what customers see: your description, photos, contact info, hours, and more. Here's how to do it.
Step 1: Find Your Business in the Directory
Go to the Business Directory and search for your business by name or browse your category. Once you find your listing, click through to the full business detail page.
Step 2: Click the Claim Prompt
On the business detail page, look for the "Are you the owner of this business?" message. Click "Sign in to claim this business" to begin.
Step 3: Log In or Create an Account
You'll need a verified njlegalize.me account to submit a claim. If you don't have one yet, register for free — it only takes a couple of minutes. See our guide: How to Create a New User Account.
Step 4: Complete the Claim Form
Once logged in, you'll be taken to the claim form. Fill in:
- Business email address — use an email at your business domain (e.g. yourname@yourbusiness.com). This is used to verify ownership automatically if the domain matches.
- Message (optional) — add any context that helps verify your connection to the business, such as your role or how to reach you
Step 5: Submit and Wait for Verification
Click Submit Claim. The njlegalize.me team will review your request and reach out if additional verification is needed. Most claims are processed within 24–48 business hours.
After Your Claim Is Approved
Once approved, you'll have full control of your listing:
- Edit your business name, description, and category
- Add or update photos
- Update contact information, hours, and website
- Respond to customer questions and reviews
- Submit events directly tied to your business
