How to Get an Missouri Medical Marijuana Card Online

Who May Apply in Missouri?

Missouri does not restrict patient certification to a fixed list of diagnoses. A Missouri-licensed physician decides, in their professional judgment, whether medical marijuana may help your condition. Patients must be Missouri residents; minors apply through a parent or legal guardian acting as caregiver. Physician certification is required but does not guarantee the state will approve the application.

Application Steps

Your medical evaluation and state application are separate. Follow these steps:

• Complete an evaluation with a Missouri-licensed physician. Telemedicine evaluations are permitted.
• If the physician certifies you, they issue an electronic physician certification. Submit your state application within 30 days of the certification date.
• Create an account in the state's online registry and submit your patient application with identification and a photograph.
• Pay the state application fee and watch for approval or correction requests. The state generally processes complete applications within 30 days.

Prepare for Your Physician Visit

Have identification, a list of current medicines, relevant diagnosis notes and treatment history ready. The physician may request additional records. Do not stop or change prescribed treatment based on a guide.

What Happens After the Evaluation?

The state generally processes complete applications within 30 days of submission. The physician evaluation and the state's review are separate steps; neither guarantees a particular timeline.

Certification or a recommendation is issued only if clinically appropriate. The state makes any separate registration or licensing decision.

Plan for Costs and Renewal

Our Missouri physician evaluation is $120. State charges, if any, are paid separately.

Missouri patient ID cards are valid for three years. Renewal requires a new physician certification and the renewal fee on the state's current fee schedule.
