Renewing Your Florida Medical Card Online
Being lazy about the renewal of the Florida Medical card can be very risky at times. Remember that the Florida medical card is valid for one year after its issuance date. You can find the expiry date of the card written on it. It's not a brilliant idea to delay the renewal process until the expiry date because the renewal process itself might take a few weeks. With the delay in the renewal, you might be deprived of medical marijuana till you get the renewed card, and your disorders might aggravate.
Luckily, you can precede the renewal process online, and that's what we are going to discuss in this article.
Some tips to get started with the renewal:
- The department notifies you about the expiry of your medical card about 90 days before the expiry. It is better to apply for renewal right at that moment because the online application has made this process very convenient.
- Apply about 45 days before the date of expiry. If you fail to file a renewal application till the expiry date, your card will fall in the category of delinquent cards. And if the cardholder doesn't get it renewed before the current licensure cycle expiration, the board will declare the license null and void.
- It is recommended to go through the renewal instructions on various websites before getting started. If you have confusion that's not answered anywhere, you have an option to consult some renewal specialist.
