Delaware MMJ Card Renewal: Complete Guide
How to Renew Your Delaware Medical Marijuana Card
Renewing your Delaware medical marijuana card is a straightforward process that ensures you maintain your exemption from the 15% recreational excise tax and keep your 6-ounce possession limit.
1. Schedule Your Telehealth Evaluation
Book a telehealth appointment with a state-licensed healthcare provider through MMJ.com. During this brief video consultation, the provider will review your medical history and confirm your continued eligibility for the program.
2. Provider Submits Certification
Once approved, your healthcare provider will submit your new certification electronically to the Delaware Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC).
3. Complete the State Application
Log into your OMC patient registry account. You will need to submit your renewal application, upload any required documentation (like a current Delaware ID), and pay the state renewal fee ($50 for 1 year, $75 for 2 years, or $100 for 3 years).
4. Receive Your Renewed Card
After the state processes your application, your renewed medical marijuana card will be issued, allowing you to continue purchasing at licensed compassion centers without interruption.
