Utah Medical Marijuana

Renewal Guide

So your medical card is about to expire and you need to renew it.

Perhaps you’ve received an email from the state, or, if you’re a Utah Canna patient, you’ve been notified by our support team.

Either way, you need to get your medical marijuana card renewed to remain legal to use cannabis in Utah.

This Utah medical card renewal guide will show you everything you need to know to complete the renewal process.

Let’s get started!

Step 1: Be On Time

When it comes to renewing your medical cannabis card in Utah, there are 2 important things you need to keep in mind in regards to timing:

  • You cannot start the renewal process until you are within 30 days of your card expiring. The state will notify you when you are within this window.
  • Once your renewal process has been completed, your new card won’t be issued until you current one has expired.

**If you are a Utah Canna patient, you will also receive notifications from us via email and SMS.

How to Check Your Medical Card's Expiration Date

  1. Log into EVS
  2. Click on ‘Tracking Inbox’
Your expiration date will be to the right of your name.

Pro Tip

Create a calendar event to remind yourself when to start the renewal process. Emails often get lost or forgotten about. A calendar event will make it easier to remember.

Step 2: Resubmit Your Application

Because you have already registered and applied in EVS for your medical card, the renewal process is a much simpler one. Simply follow the instructions below to get started.

  1. Log into EVS
  2. Enter your UtahID credentials and click ‘Sign In

Remember: UtahID and EVS are synced to work together, meaning that logging into your UtahID account automatically logs you into your EVS account.

Step 3: Visit Your QMP

At this point, you will need to schedule a renewal visit with your QMP, if you have yet to do so.

Your QMP will re-evaluate you to see how the medical cannabis is working for you and if you need any adjustments to dosage or form.

Note: Be honest about how things are going with your experience as a medical marijuana patient. This will only help you get the best treatment from your medical professional.

Step 4: Pay the EVS Fee

EVS will notify you once your renewal has been been certified by your QMP. When that happens, you will need to pay for your renewal to get it.

Remember: You will not be able to pay the fee until your QMP has re-certified your renewal.

  1. From the EVS homepage, click ‘Tracking Inbox’
