Medical marijuana cards in Florida expire one year after they are issued. Patients can renew their cards up to 45 days before they expire. If you do not do this, the state will mark the card as delinquent and you will be unable to use it. Your card can be renewed online or by mail.
According to state law, Florida patients must also see a medical marijuana doctor every seven months or 210 days for a recertification appointment. These consultations can be in person or online.
Follow these steps to renew your Florida medical marijuana card:
Typically, the OMMU reviews online applications within 10 business days of receiving them.
You'll need a diagnosis from your primary care doctor before you can start medical cannabis treatment.
The Sanctuary can connect you with a Florida medical marijuana doctor and schedule a consultation. Your licensed physician will enter your information into the Florida Department of Medical Marijuana Use Registry and issue you a medical marijuana recommendation if you satisfy the state’s requirements for one.
You will receive an email with directions for accessing the patient portal after your doctor has added you to the state’s registry. There, you can complete an MMJ card application and pay the $75 fee.
In Florida, the OMMU is in charge of MMJ card distribution. Only Florida residents who meet the state's requirements are eligible to apply for a Florida medical marijuana card.
Applicants under the age of 18 must designate an adult caregiver in their application and MMUR. Only caregivers are allowed to purchase medical marijuana products for minor patients.

Finally, obtaining a Florida MMJ card does not permit you to cultivate your own medical cannabis.
Call (850) 378-3812 to arrange your evaluation and ask any questions you may have.
Florida medical marijuana card candidates must be residents of Florida, either full or part-time. For full-time residents, a valid Florida driver's license or state identification card is required.

If a full-time resident submits an online application, the registry will immediately check their driver's license or state ID with the DMV. If submitting a paper application, full-time residents must include a copy of their Florida state ID card or driver's license.
