Renew Your Ohio Medical Card and Stay Protected
Can I update my photo, name, address or other details when I renew my Ohio medical marijuana card?
Yes, you can and should update your photo, name, address, or other personal details when renewing your Ohio medical marijuana card through the state’s registry system. The renewal process provides a specific opportunity to review and correct all your information, which helps prevent dispensary access issues and ensures your card arrives at your current address.
- Address Updates – If you moved since your last certification, update your address in the Ohio Medical Marijuana Control Program portal during renewal so your card gets mailed to the right location and dispensaries see your current information
- Name Changes – Legal name changes due to marriage, divorce, or court orders require updating your registry profile with supporting documentation like a marriage certificate or court order so your card matches your current legal identification
- Photo Updates – You can upload a new photo that meets Ohio’s requirements (recent, clear, passport-style) if your appearance changed significantly or your old photo is outdated, which helps dispensaries verify your identity more easily
- Contact Information – Update your phone number and email address in the system so you receive important notifications about your renewal status, card arrival, and any changes to Ohio’s medical marijuana program that affect your treatment
