How to renew your Florida medical marijuana card
Quick answer
Florida renewal has two parts. Your Medical Marijuana Use Registry ID card must be renewed every year, and you can apply starting 45 days before it expires. The state fee is $75. Separately, your physician must evaluate you at least once every 30 weeks before issuing a new certification. That visit can be by telehealth if the same physician examined you in person first.

How to renew your Florida medical marijuana card
- Check your dates in the Registry. Log in to the Medical Marijuana Use Registry to see when your ID card expires and which orders your physician has entered for you.
- Book your renewal evaluation. Schedule a renewal visit before your certification runs out. Florida law requires your physician to evaluate you at least once every 30 weeks before issuing a new certification.
- Complete the evaluation. If the same physician already examined you in person, the renewal visit can be done by telehealth. If you are switching physicians, the new physician must examine you in person first.
- Submit your ID card renewal application. Starting 45 days before your card expires, apply online through the Registry. Since July 27, 2026, Florida’s Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) requires a current or scheduled certification with open orders before an application can be completed.
- Pay the state fee. Pay Florida’s $75 ID card fee. Online payments carry a $2.75 convenience fee.
- Watch for approval. OMMU says online applications are approved in about 10 business days on average. Mailed applications take 3 to 5 days longer.
