Renew 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.
How Georgia Medical Marijuana Card Renewal Works
Step 1
Book Your Renewal Appointment
Check the provider’s current consultation price, required physician relationship, medical records and visit type before arranging an assessment. Keep consultation charges separate from state card payments.
Step 2
Review eligibility with your treating physician
Tell your physician how you’re doing and what has changed since your last visit. Your doctor reviews your condition and decides whether to renew your certification.
Step 3
Update Your Physician Certification
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.
Step 4
Check Whether Your State Card Is Due
Your physical card is valid for five years. If a new card is due, follow DPH’s email instructions for the separate state payment and delivery.

Missed Your Renewal Date?
If your annual certification is overdue: book a physician visit and bring your current card and ID. Tell the doctor when you were last certified and what has changed in your health or medications.
If your physical card has expired: tell the physician you also need to renew the card. After certification, follow DPH’s instructions for state payment and delivery. Booking an appointment does not extend the expiration date on your card.
If you have already had your appointment: use the state’s card-status checker to track the card. For state processing, payment, or delivery questions, call (770) 909-2765.
