Renew Your Iowa Medical Marijuana Card Online Now

Renewing your Iowa medical marijuana card takes about 15 minutes with our doctors, then the state needs 4 to 6 weeks to process your application and mail your new card. We complete your consultation and physician approval in under 20 minutes through a quick video appointment, and we submit your certification to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services the same day you’re approved. Once Iowa receives your renewal from us, they process it over the next month or so, and your new one-year card arrives in your mailbox so you can keep purchasing at Iowa dispensaries.

To renew your Iowa medical marijuana card, you need a doctor’s certification, a completed application, valid identification, and payment.

• Healthcare Practitioner Certification Form: Your doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner must complete and sign this form confirming your qualifying condition. We handle this for you during your renewal appointment, so you don’t need to chase down paperwork from your regular doctor.
• Completed Renewal Application: Fill out the adult patient renewal application through the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services online portal. The online form is faster than paper applications and processes quicker with the state.
• Valid Photo ID: Upload a clear copy of your current Iowa driver’s license or Iowa non-operator ID card. The ID must be valid and not expired, and the address should match what you put on your renewal application.
• Application Fee Payment: The standard renewal fee is $100, but Iowa offers a reduced fee of $25 if you qualify. You can get the discount by uploading proof of Social Security Disability (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Iowa Medicaid membership, or Hawk-I coverage when you submit your renewal.

Yes. You can update your photo, name, address, and other personal information when you renew your Iowa medical marijuana card through the state’s online portal.

• Your address can be updated anytime through your Iowa Department of Health and Human Services patient account, and it’s important to keep this current so your renewal card gets mailed to the right place. If you’ve moved since your last certification, update it before or during your renewal.
• Name changes require documentation like a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. You’ll need to upload proof of your legal name change to the state portal when you update your information during the renewal process.
• Your photo can be updated during renewal by uploading a new one that meets Iowa’s requirements. The photo needs to be recent, show your face clearly, and follow the same guidelines as a passport photo with a plain background.
• Other details like your email address, phone number, and emergency contact can all be changed in your patient portal. We recommend reviewing all your information during renewal to make sure everything is accurate and up to date.

Yes. You can renew your Iowa medical marijuana card with us even if a different doctor or clinic certified you originally.

• Iowa doesn’t require you to stick with the same doctor for renewals. You’re free to switch providers anytime, and hundreds of Iowa patients choose us for renewals because we’re faster, cheaper, and more convenient than going back to whoever certified them the first time.
• Our Iowa-licensed doctors will review your qualifying condition during a 15 to 20 minute video appointment. You don’t need records from your previous doctor because your condition is already registered with the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, and our physicians verify your eligibility based on your current symptoms and medical history.
• Switching to us for your Iowa renewal saves you time and money. We approve you the same day, charge less than traditional clinics, and submit your certification immediately to the state so your renewal starts processing right away. No driving, no taking time off work, no paying premium prices just because that’s where you went last year.

Your Iowa medical marijuana card expires after one year and must be renewed annually. The card is valid for exactly 12 months from the date the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services issues it, which you’ll find printed on your card. You can start your renewal process up to 30 days before your expiration date, and we recommend doing it early so you don’t lose access to Iowa dispensaries. If your card expires before you renew, you won’t be able to legally purchase medical cannabis until your new card is active. Set a reminder about a month before your card expires, renew with us online in 15 minutes, and you’ll stay covered without any interruption in your medicine.

Iowa patients can renew their medical marijuana cards through our online service, other Iowa telehealth providers, or by visiting a cannabis doctor in person.

• Renew with us today and get the fastest, cheapest renewal in Iowa. Our doctors work every single day including weekends, you’ll be approved in 15 minutes or less, and we submit your certification to the state immediately. You save money and never have to leave your house.
• Try another Iowa telehealth company if you want to compare options. Most will charge you $50 to $100 more than we do, their appointment slots book up several days out, and some add processing fees at the end that weren’t mentioned when you started.
• Drive to an Iowa clinic for an in-person renewal appointment if that’s what you prefer. You’re looking at $250 or more for the visit, you’ll need to take time off and work around their business hours, and the whole process usually takes at least an hour between driving and the actual appointment.
