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 😆 
Great Experience! Times for Doctor visit was convenient and had a wide range suitable to my schedule. Doctor visit was short and to the point. I opted for the extra fee to do the state's application and was impressed by how fast they were able to get my application submitted. Thanks for your service. 
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.

Can I update my photo, name, address or other details when I renew my Ohio medical marijuana card?
Yes, and most Columbus patients update something during their renewal because life changes over the course of a year. The state registry lets you fix your photo, update your address if you moved neighborhoods, change your name if you got married, or correct your contact info so everything stays current.
- Address Updates Around Columbus – Moved from German Village to Short North, or from Clintonville to Grandview Heights? Update your address in Ohio’s portal during renewal so your card gets mailed to the right place and dispensaries around Columbus can verify you still live in Ohio
- Name Changes – If you got married, divorced, or legally changed your name, upload your marriage certificate or court documents to the registry so your Columbus medical card matches your driver’s license and you don’t get hassled at dispensaries
- New Photos – That photo from three years ago might not look like you anymore, so upload a fresh one that’s clear and recent so budtenders at Columbus dispensaries can actually recognize you
- Contact Information – Update your phone and email so Ohio can reach you about your renewal approval, tell you when your card ships, and send you updates about program changes that Columbus patients need to know
