How often do I need to renew my New Jersey Medical Marijuana Card?

New Jersey patients have separate expiration dates for their doctor's certification and state-issued medical marijuana card. The doctor's certification is valid for one year and must be renewed annually, while the state card is valid for two years and is renewed every other year.

A renewal consultation with Leafwell costs $99, and you'll only be charged if approved. Plus, when you use Leafwell to renew your certification, we'll send you a renewal reminder 60 days before it expires to ensure that you avoid a lapse in coverage.

Here's a summary of the renewal process:

1. Sign in to Leafwell, or if you’re new to Leafwell, register as a renewal patient here.
