When to Renew Your Medical Card in Delaware?
It is advisable to start the renewal process a few weeks before your current medical marijuana card expires. This ensures there is no lapse in your ability to obtain medical cannabis from licensed Compassion Centers. Your expiration date is printed on your current card – check it early and schedule your provider appointment well in advance.

Do I Need to See a Doctor to Renew My Medical Marijuana Card in Delaware?
Yes. Patients must have their medical marijuana renewal certified by a licensed healthcare provider in Delaware – this includes Medical Doctors (MDs), Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs), Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), and Physician Assistants (PAs). The certifying provider must maintain a bona fide care relationship with the patient to issue a valid renewal certification.
What Happens If My Delaware Medical Marijuana Card Expires?
If an Delaware medical marijuana card expires, the patient will no longer be able to legally purchase medical cannabis from licensed dispensaries.
