Does Delaware Allow Medical Marijuana Card Renewal Online?

Yes, you can renew your Delaware medical marijuana card online. However, it is recommended that you contact your certifying physician to verify that the healthcare provider has signed up to participate in the state’s online application certification program. If your attending physician has not signed up to participate, you will be unable to complete your renewal online and would need to find a participating physician.

To initiate the renewal process, visit the DHSS medical marijuana patient portal to create an account if you do not already have a profile on the system. Afterward, log in to the system using your created credentials and access the patient account information screen. You can complete the required form and pay the relevant fee from there.
