Florida medical marijuana card cost: what the state charges

What the state charges

• $75 to apply for the Registry identification card, first time or renewal
• $2.75 convenience fee on each online payment (credit card or eCheck)
• $15 extra if a payment is returned or declined, paid by check or money order with the original fee
• $15 to change or replace a card, where that fee applies
• Cash is not accepted

Every year, again

The card expires one year after approval and the renewal costs the same $75. Separately, a physician must evaluate you at least once every 30 weeks before issuing a new certification, so plan on a physician visit more often than a card renewal.

What the state does not set

The state's pages list only the state's own fees. What a qualified physician charges for the visit is up to the practice, so it is the part worth comparing. Anyone quoting a single all-in price is adding the two together: ask which part is the $75, because that part is the same everywhere.

Saving on what you buy

Several Florida dispensaries run standing discounts for veterans, seniors, first-time patients and other groups, and some for recertification visits. FindMari lists them with a link to each brand's own terms.
