How to Renew Your Medical Marijuana Card in Cape Girardeau, MO Online

The entire Cape Girardeau renewal process takes about 15 minutes from application to doctor approval with us. After our doctor approves your re-certification, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services processes your application and mails your physical card within 30 days. Most Cape Girardeau patients receive their cards in 7 to 10 business days, and you can use your digital approval letter at local dispensaries while waiting for the physical card.

Cape Girardeau residents can renew their medical marijuana cards completely online. The process takes less than 20 minutes once you have your documents ready.

• New Physician Certification Form: Schedule an appointment with a Missouri-licensed physician or nurse practitioner (APRN) who can certify your qualifying medical condition. They will complete and submit the certification form directly to the state registry within 30 days before you file your renewal application. Ask your doctor’s office to confirm they submitted it so you can select it when you log in.
• Valid Government-Issued Photo ID: Prepare a clear, readable copy of your current Missouri driver’s license, state ID card, or other government-issued identification. The ID must show your legal name and current address, or you’ll need to provide proof of residency if your address has changed.
• Recent Color Digital Photo: Take or have someone take a clear, color photograph of your face from the shoulders up within the last three months. Make sure there are no filters, hats, or sunglasses, and don’t just photograph your existing ID. The photo needs to show your face clearly against a plain background.
• Personal Information Ready: Have your Social Security number, current phone number, email address, and both your physical residence address and mailing address (if different) available. Double-check that all information matches your official documents to avoid processing delays.
• Renewal Fee Payment: The patient renewal fee is $25, paid online through the state portal using a credit or debit card. If you qualify for veteran status or Medicaid/Medicare assistance, your fee may be reduced or waived, so check your eligibility before paying.
• Online Portal Access: Log into the Missouri DHSS medical marijuana registry at health.mo.gov/safety/medical-marijuana using the username and password you created with your original application. If you’ve forgotten your login details, use the password reset option before starting your renewal.
• Timing Matters: Start your renewal process 60 days before your card expires to give yourself time for the doctor’s appointment and application processing. Your current card remains valid until the expiration date, but you cannot purchase medical marijuana if it lapses.
• Keep Documentation: Save copies of your submitted application, payment confirmation, and the new certification form for your records. The state will email you confirmation once your renewal is approved, and your new card will arrive by mail within 30 days.

You can update your photo, name, address, and other personal information during your Cape Girardeau medical marijuana card renewal through Missouri’s online portal.
