Renew Your Ohio Medical Marijuana Card Online Today

Your Ohio med card renewal takes about 15 minutes with our doctors, then the state needs 7 to 10 business days to process your new card after we submit your paperwork. We handle the consultation and re-certification on the same day you call us. Once the state approves everything, your renewed card shows up in the mail at your home address.

To renew your Ohio medical card, you need a valid photo ID, proof of Ohio residency, and a physician certification confirming your qualifying condition still requires treatment. We handle the physician certification part during your renewal appointment, so you just need to gather your ID and something showing your current Ohio address.

• Valid Photo ID – Your Ohio driver’s license, state ID card, or U.S. passport works to verify your identity during the renewal process
• Proof of Ohio Residency – Bring a recent utility bill, bank statement, lease agreement, or any official mail with your current Ohio address dated within the last 90 days
• Physician Certification – Our licensed doctor provides this during your video appointment after confirming your qualifying condition is still active and requires medical marijuana treatment
• Your Current Card Information – Having your existing medical card number or previous certification handy speeds up the process, but we can look it up if you lost it
• Updated Health Information – Be ready to discuss any changes to your symptoms, condition status, or other medications you’re taking since your last certification
• Payment Method – Have your credit card, debit card, or HSA/FSA card ready for the renewal consultation fee
• Veteran or Indigent Status Documentation (If Applicable) – If you qualify for a reduced state fee, provide your DD214 military discharge papers for veteran status or proof of SSI/SSDI enrollment for indigent status

Yes, you can and should update your photo, name, address, or other personal details when renewing your Ohio medical marijuana card through the state’s registry system. The renewal process provides a specific opportunity to review and correct all your information, which helps prevent dispensary access issues and ensures your card arrives at your current address.

• Address Updates – If you moved since your last certification, update your address in the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program portal during renewal so your card gets mailed to the right location and dispensaries see your current information
• Name Changes – Legal name changes due to marriage, divorce, or court orders require updating your registry profile with supporting documentation like a marriage certificate or court order so your card matches your current legal identification
• Photo Updates – You can upload a new photo that meets Ohio’s requirements (recent, clear, passport-style) if your appearance changed significantly or your old photo is outdated, which helps dispensaries verify your identity more easily
• Contact Information – Update your phone number and email address in the system so you receive important notifications about your renewal status, card arrival, and any changes to Ohio’s medical marijuana program that affect your treatment

Yes, you can renew your Ohio medical marijuana card with us even if you saw a different doctor for your original certification. We work with state-licensed physicians who can verify your qualifying condition and approve your renewal, no matter where you got your first card. Switching to Elevate for your renewal is allowed under Ohio law.

• You don’t need to bring records from your previous doctor. Our physicians can review your condition and symptoms during your consultation to confirm you still qualify.
• Your renewal process takes the same amount of time as it would with your original doctor. We complete consultations in about 15 minutes, then submit your paperwork to the state.
• Thousands of Ohio patients switch to us for renewals because we offer same-day appointments and charge less than most clinics. If we can’t get you approved, you get your money back.

Your Ohio medical marijuana card lasts for one year from the date you receive it, so you’ll need to renew it annually to keep your legal access. You can start your renewal process up to 60 days before your card expires, and we recommend renewing about 30 to 45 days early so there’s no break in your access. The renewal consultation takes around 15 minutes with a doctor, and Ohio typically processes your new card within 7 to 10 business days.

You can renew your Ohio medical marijuana card online through our services, at local clinics, or by visiting a certified doctor in person. Here are your three main options:

• Renew with us at Elevate Holistics for the fastest turnaround time, with approval typically happening within 24 hours and your new card processed through the state right away.
• Use a local Ohio online service, though these often have limited appointment availability and can take several days to get you scheduled for your renewal.
• Book an in-person visit with a medical marijuana doctor in your area, but this means arranging transportation, adjusting your work schedule, and waiting in an office for your appointment.

Yes. At Elevate Holistics, we connect you with state-licensed, certified medical marijuana doctors based on your appointment time and availability. All of our physicians are:

• Registered with the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program
• Trained to evaluate qualifying conditions like chronic pain, PTSD, and anxiety
• Ready to discuss your symptoms and treatment options in a judgment-free consultation

If you prefer a specific gender, language, or need special accommodations, just let us know when you book and we’ll match you with the right doctor. Your personal information stays protected throughout the entire process.

Yes, you can renew your Ohio medical marijuana card after it expires. The state doesn’t penalize you for letting it lapse. You just need to complete the same renewal process as everyone else, which means getting a new doctor recommendation, submitting your application, and paying the renewal fee. The problem is you can’t legally buy or possess medical marijuana while your card is expired, so you’ll have a gap in coverage until your new card arrives in the mail (usually 7 to 10 business days after approval). That’s why we tell patients to start renewing 60 days before expiration, so you never lose legal protection.
