How to Renew Your 329 Card in Hawaii: Everything You Need to Know
Your 329 Medical Cannabis Card doesn't last forever. If yours is coming up on expiration — or has already expired — here's exactly what you need to do to stay legal and keep your access to Hawaii's licensed dispensaries.
How Long Does a 329 Card Last?
Hawaii's 329 Cards are issued in either 1-year or 2-year terms, depending on your certification. Both options are valid, and the right choice depends on your personal preference, the nature of your condition, and how often you'd like to check in with your certifying physician.
What Happens If My Card Expires?
If your 329 Card expires, you are no longer legally authorized to purchase cannabis from a dispensary or possess it under the card's protections. You'll need to renew before your card expires — or as quickly as possible if it already has.
Don't panic if it's lapsed. You can renew at any time, and the process is the same whether you're renewing on time or catching up after an expiration.

Renewal Pricing
1-year renewal: $80

The 2-year option saves you money and a future consultation — a good choice if you're managing a long-term condition.
1-Year vs 2-Year: Which Should You Choose?
Go with 1-year if:
Your condition may change or resolve
You'd like more frequent check-ins with Dr. Mandris
You prefer a lower upfront cost
Go with 2-year if:
You have a chronic, long-term condition
You want to save time and money over the long haul
You don't want to think about renewal again for a while
Tips for Staying on Top of Your Renewal
Set a calendar reminder 60 days before your card's expiration date
Don't wait until the last minute — state processing can take a few days
Keep a copy of your physician certification somewhere accessible
