Get Your Georgia Medical Marijuana Card
Review Georgia certification and card requirements
Georgia requires an established physician-patient relationship with a physician treating the qualifying condition. The Georgia Composite Medical Board says a one-time or episodic consultation without ongoing treatment does not meet that standard. Confirm the required relationship, records and visit type before booking; an online appointment alone does not establish eligibility.
Confirm the provider’s current consultation price and terms before booking; this page does not establish a consultation price. Georgia’s state card fee is $30 through December 4, 2026, increasing to $75 on December 5, 2026. Online payment adds a $3.75 service fee before the change or $4.88 after it. Consultation charges are separate. See Georgia DPH patient guidance.

I love this place. They are professional, polite, and fast. They stay in contact and guide you through the whole process, from start to finish. I won't go anywhere else. 
Very stress-free process you all have done for me. Highly recommend. I'll be renewing my card through y'all in the future. I appreciate all the work done from your end I'm not tech savvy 😆 
First-time user. Much easier than the previous company used... Doing it all online and FaceTime is so much more convenient... Not to mention about half the price of the previous company. I highly recommend this company... if they could walk me through it, just about anyone can use this site.

Questions About Your Georgia Medical Card?
Here’s what to have ready for your appointment and what to expect after approval.
What happens after my doctor approves me?
Your doctor submits your certification and information to Georgia’s patient registry. DPH checks your documents, then emails you instructions to pay the state card fee. Watch your inbox for payment instructions or requests for anything missing.
How much will I pay for my first Georgia card?
Confirm the provider’s current consultation price and terms before booking; this page does not establish a consultation price. Georgia’s state card fee is $30 through December 4, 2026, increasing to $75 on December 5, 2026. Online payment adds a $3.75 service fee before the change or $4.88 after it. Consultation charges are separate. See Georgia DPH patient guidance.
What ID and proof of residency should I bring?
Bring a current Georgia driver’s license or Georgia state-issued ID showing your current address. A passport, military ID, or out-of-state ID requires additional proof of Georgia residency.
A utility bill, phone bill, medical bill, or pay stub can be used if it shows your full name and current street address.
How long do I have to pay the state fee?
Submit your state payment within 60 days. If you miss that window, your card may be cancelled and you will need to contact your physician for reinstatement.
How and when will my Georgia card arrive?
Allow up to 10 business days after your payment is processed. DPH generally sends the card to your mailing address by UPS. A signature is required, so arrange for someone to receive it.
What if I use a P.O. Box or don’t have a secure mailing address?
Your card may be sent to the health department location nearest your residence for pickup instead. DPH will contact you when it is ready. Bring valid identification when you collect it.
Does a five-year card mean I only see the doctor every five years?
Keep the state card’s printed expiration separate from required physician certification. Georgia uses annual certification, with a statutory exception for patients with incurable or irreversible conditions. Ask the treating physician which requirement applies to you; see the 2026 Georgia law and Medical Board guidance.
Who can help with state payment, delivery, or card status?
Once your provider has submitted your certification, contact the Georgia Medical Cannabis Patient Registry for state processing, payment, delivery, or card-status questions. Call (770) 909-2765, Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. You can also use the state’s card-status checker.
