Keep your card active

Renew your
medical card,
right on time.

Staying certified in Florida means keeping two clocks running: your physician recertification and your state registry card. We'll help you track both, so your access to treatment never skips a beat.

Two clocks, one card

renewal rules.

Your certification and your card are separate. Both must stay active — if either one lapses, dispensary access stops that same day.

Physician recertification

Florida law requires you to see your certifying physician at least every 210 days (about 7 months). No physician can certify beyond that.

When should
I renew?

Enter the expiration date printed on your card (and your last physician visit, if you know it). We'll map out your renewal dates instantly.

Your card's expiration date is on the front, under your date of birth. Nothing you enter here leaves your device.

Step by step

How to renew
your state card.

Renewing in Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Registry takes about ten minutes. Make sure your physician certification is active first.

Tip: keep using your current card until it expires — your renewal covers the 12 months after that date, so renewing early never costs you time.

Reminders that
do the remembering.

HelloMJ patients use The Doc App to track their certification. Thirty days before your 7-month certification expires, you'll get a reminder by email and text — tap the link, pick a time, done.

Tip: check that reminders aren't landing in your spam or filtered folders.

What if it lapses? Dispensary access stops on the day your certification or card expires — even if the card in your wallet still looks valid. Renewal is the only way to restore access, so book your recertification and renew your card before either date passes.
Do I need to come in? Your first visit with a HelloMJ physician must be in person. For later recertifications, ask our team which follow-up options are available for you.

All FAQs
How often do I need to renew my Florida medical marijuana card?
Two things renew on different clocks. Your physician certification must be renewed every 210 days (about 7 months) with an in-person visit, and your state registry card must be renewed every year.
When should I start renewing my card?
Start about 45 days before your card expires — that's when the state emails your reminder. The registry lets you renew up to 90 days before expiration, and your renewal covers the 12 months after your current expiry date.
How much does renewal cost?
With HelloMJ, a recertification visit is $99. The state card renewal is $75, plus a $2.75 convenience fee when you pay online ($77.75 total).
What happens if my card or certification expires?
Your dispensary access stops on the day either one expires — even if your physical card still looks valid. Renewing is the only way to restore access, so it's best not to cut it close.
Can I renew online?
Your state card renewal is done online in the Medical Marijuana Use Registry. Your physician recertification requires a visit — your first visit must be in person, and our team can tell you which follow-up options are available for you.
How do I switch to a HelloMJ doctor?
Log in to the registry, open Your Profile → Manage Profile Details and choose to leave your current physician. Then book a $149 transfer appointment and we'll take over your profile and records.
