Get Your Rochester MMJ Card Renewal Done in 15 Minutes

To renew your Minnesota medical marijuana card in Rochester, you need a doctor to recertify your condition in the state’s online system and documents that prove your identity and address. Getting these ready ahead of time makes the renewal process faster and keeps your dispensary access active.

• A certification from a qualified healthcare practitioner who confirms your medical condition still qualifies and enters your recertification into Minnesota’s registry
• A valid government-issued photo ID like a Minnesota driver’s license, state ID card, or passport
• Proof of Minnesota residency if your ID is expired or shows an old Rochester address, such as a utility bill, lease agreement, bank statement, or tax documents dated within the last 90 days or from the previous calendar year
• If you can’t provide standard residency documents, a notarized affidavit from a health or social services worker or your designated caregiver works as proof of your current Minnesota address

Rochester patients can update their photo, name, address, and other personal information when renewing their Minnesota medical marijuana card. Renewal is your chance to correct outdated details and ensure your card accurately reflects your current information for the next year.

• Address updates are important if you’ve moved within Rochester or to another Minnesota location, as keeping your address current prevents potential issues when purchasing from dispensaries
• If your legal name has changed due to marriage, divorce, or court action, provide the supporting documents during renewal and your new card will display your updated name
• Updating your photo is straightforward if you’ve experienced changes in your appearance or simply want a more current image on your card
• Keeping your phone number and email current with the state ensures you receive timely notifications about your card status and any important program changes

Yes, Rochester patients can renew their Minnesota medical marijuana card with Elevate Holistics even if they received their initial certification from another doctor or clinic.

• Minnesota’s medical cannabis program allows patients to switch providers at renewal time, so choosing Elevate Holistics for cost savings or convenience is a common and accepted practice
• During your renewal appointment, our physician will verify that your qualifying condition continues to meet state requirements, and once confirmed, your renewal will be approved and processed
• There’s no requirement to obtain or transfer medical records from your previous Rochester provider because we conduct a complete renewal evaluation and handle the state submission independently

Your Minnesota medical marijuana card expires after one year, so Rochester patients need to complete their renewal annually to continue legal dispensary access. Minnesota’s Office of Medical Cannabis doesn’t send automatic renewal reminders, which means you’ll want to track your expiration date yourself and begin the renewal process around 30 to 45 days in advance. Renewing early ensures there’s no gap in your legal coverage, and when your renewal is approved, the new card becomes valid the day after your current one expires so you maintain continuous access for the full year.

Rochester residents can renew their Minnesota medical marijuana card online, through another state provider, or by visiting a doctor in person.

• Renew with us at Elevate Holistics for Minnesota’s best renewal pricing with same-day approvals and no need to leave your house
• Try other online services like Veriheal or Green Health Docs, though you’ll generally pay more and may experience longer wait times for appointments
• Visit a clinic near Mayo or in downtown Rochester, but expect higher fees, scheduling that works around their office hours, and time spent getting there and waiting

Yes. We match Rochester patients with Minnesota-licensed medical marijuana doctors based on your schedule and availability. You won’t need to visit a clinic near Mayo or downtown because our physicians are:

• Registered with the Minnesota Office of Medical Cannabis

All our doctors are state-certified and familiar with Minnesota’s medical cannabis program. If you prefer a specific gender, need language support, or require accommodations, let us know before your appointment and we’ll make it work.
