- Schedule a Renewal Visit with Your Georgia Physician:
Book an appointment with the same Georgia‑licensed physician (or another qualifying MD/DO) who treats your approved condition and is registered to certify patients for low‑THC oil. - Complete the Required Renewal Forms:
During the visit, your doctor will examine you, then complete a new Low THC Oil Waiver and Physician Certification form confirming your continued eligibility. - Physician Submits Your Renewal Electronically:
After signing the forms, your physician or clinic submits the necessary information to the Georgia Department of Public Health through the Low THC Oil Registry system. - Pay the Georgia Low THC Oil Card Renewal Fee:

After DPH reviews and approves your renewal, a new Low THC Oil Registry card is printed and mailed to your address or sent to your local county health department for pickup, where you’ll show a valid photo ID to receive it.
