Renew Your Philadelphia Card and Keep Your Legal Protection
Can I update my photo, name, address or other details when I renew my Pennsylvania medical marijuana card?
Yes, Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana registry allows you to update your photo, name, address, and contact information during your Philadelphia renewal process. We recommend reviewing all your personal details during renewal to ensure your medical records remain accurate and your card reaches your current address.
- Address Updates in Philadelphia – If you relocated within Philadelphia or moved to a different Pennsylvania address, update your information in the state portal so your renewed card arrives at your current residence and dispensaries can verify your accurate residency details
- Legal Name Changes – Marriage, divorce, or court-ordered name changes require proper documentation uploaded to your Pennsylvania profile, such as marriage certificates or legal court orders, ensuring your Philadelphia medical card matches your current government-issued identification
- Photo Updates – Submit a recent, clear photo that accurately reflects your current appearance if your existing photo is outdated, which facilitates smoother identity verification at Philadelphia dispensaries
- Contact Information Updates – Maintain current phone numbers and email addresses in Pennsylvania’s system so you receive timely notifications about your Philadelphia renewal approval, card delivery status, and important program updates
