Renew your Arizona MMJ card — in 5 minutes.

How renewal works in Arizona

Arizona medical marijuana cards expire every 2 years. To keep your card active, you need:

1. A new physician certification (the part mmj card az provides)
2. A state card renewal (the $150 fee paid to AZDHS)

Both can be done online. Most patients complete the whole renewal in under 10 minutes from their phone.

The 4-step renewal process

1. Start a renewal application — 2-minute form, no medical records required
2. Quick physician visit — 5-minute video call to confirm your condition is still managed appropriately
3. Get re-certified the same day — we submit to AZDHS immediately
4. Pay the state fee & get your new card — $150 to AZDHS, digital card in 1–3 business days

When to renew your Arizona MMJ card

Renew 30–60 days before your card expires. Here's why:

• AZDHS takes 1–3 business days to issue a new card after submission
• If your certification is rejected for any reason, you have time to fix it
• Most dispensaries will still accept your card up to 30 days past expiration, but a few are strict

You'll receive email reminders 60 days, 30 days, and 7 days before your card expires. Make sure your email is up to date in your mmj card az account.

What if my card has already expired?

If your card has been expired for less than 90 days, you can still renew. The process is the same. If it's been more than 90 days, you may need to re-apply as a new patient, which means a slightly longer physician visit and the full new-patient price. Don't let it lapse — renew on time.

What if my condition has changed?

That happens. Tell your mmj card az doctor during the renewal visit. Most renewals proceed without issue even when conditions evolve, but the doctor needs to confirm cannabis is still a sensible part of your care. If your condition has resolved, the doctor can decline to re-certify (and you'll get a refund).

What if I moved within Arizona?

Update your address with AZDHS through their online portal before your renewal. Your new card will be issued with the updated address. This is free and instant — no doctor visit required for an address change alone.

Can I renew with a different provider?

Yes. You're not locked into mmj card az. Most of our renewal patients came from a different provider for their initial certification. Just bring your existing card info to the renewal visit (the new doctor will need your previous certification date and AZDHS card number).
