Your Missouri MMJ card requires renewal every 3 years. Don't let your access lapse — renew early and stay covered.
We strongly recommend starting your renewal at least 30–45 days before your card expires. An expired card means you cannot legally purchase medical cannabis at Missouri dispensaries until renewal is complete and your new card is issued.
Cards are valid for 3 years — the longest validity period in the nation. Renewal requires a new physician certification and online application through the MO DHSS patient portal. A $25 fee applies. Patients are encouraged to begin renewal 60 days before expiration.
Book a telehealth appointment with a licensed Missouri physician. The renewal evaluation typically takes 10–20 minutes and can be done from home.
After your evaluation, the physician will issue an updated certification confirming that medical cannabis continues to be clinically appropriate for your qualifying condition.
Submit your renewal application through the Missouri Medical Marijuana Program online portal along with your updated physician certification and the $25 renewal fee.
Processing takes approximately 30 days. Once approved, your renewed card is issued and you can continue purchasing from licensed Missouri dispensaries.
