How do I renew my Hawaii 329 card in the new registry?

Log into the Hawaii 329 Registry, select Patient Renewal, choose your existing license number, verify your e-certification number, complete the required information, upload your government-issued ID, review the application and submit the State fee.

What is an e-certification number for a Hawaii 329 renewal?

The e-certification number is issued by the certifying provider and is entered into the Hawaii 329 Registry to connect the provider’s certification with the patient’s renewal application.

How much does the State charge for a Hawaii 329 renewal?

The State application fee is $38.50 for a 1-year application and $115.50 for a 3-year application. These fees are separate from the provider’s appointment fee.

Who is eligible for a 3-year renewal through Greener Healing Ways?

Patients who have previously had a 329 appointment with Paola Abaro may be eligible for the 3-year renewal. The provider must issue the e-certification specifically for the 3-year term.

What is a primary caregiver, and how many patients can one caregiver help?

A primary caregiver is an adult who agrees to help manage a qualifying patient’s medical cannabis use. Under the updated Hawaii law, a registered primary caregiver may now be registered with up to five qualifying patients at one time. Caregivers must be registered with the Hawaii Department of Health.

Can a caregiver grow for multiple patients, and how many patients can use one grow site?

Yes. A registered primary caregiver may cultivate medical cannabis for qualifying patients they are registered to assist. However, one cultivation location may be used for no more than five qualifying patients. The total amount grown for each patient is still subject to Hawaii’s patient-specific possession and plant limits.

A grow site is the address registered with the Hawaii 329 program where a qualifying patient or designated primary caregiver is authorized to grow medical cannabis. The grow site can be the patient’s residence, the caregiver’s residence, or another location owned or controlled by the patient or caregiver

Do I have to register a grow site?

No. If you do not plan to grow medical cannabis, you can choose No Grow Site on your application. A grow site only needs to be registered if the patient or authorized caregiver will be cultivating plants.

How many plants can I grow with a Hawaii 329 card?

The maximum allowed is 10 cannabis plants total, whether the plants are mature or immature. This limit applies to the combined amount allowed for the qualifying patient and caregiver

How much medical cannabis can I possess?

A qualifying patient may possess up to 4 ounces of usable cannabis at any given time. If the patient has a caregiver, that limit is shared between the patient and caregiver rather than being 4 ounces each.

Who is allowed to take care of the plants at a registered grow site?

Only the registered patient and the patient’s authorized primary caregiver may handle or care for the patient’s medical cannabis plants. Each plant must also have the required identification tag showing the patient’s 329 registration information

Can my grow site be somewhere other than my home?

Yes. Hawaii allows the registered grow site to be the patient’s residence, the designated caregiver’s residence, or another location that is owned or controlled by the patient or caregiver. The location must be properly registered as the grow site

Renewing Your Hawaii 329 Card? Here’s How to Use the New Registry

Q: What ID do I upload for my Hawaii 329 renewal?

Upload a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, state ID or passport. Your previous 329 card is not the identification document requested by the registry.

Hawaii’s new 329 Registry has changed the renewal process. Here’s a friendly guide to selecting Patient Renewal, verifying your e-certification, uploading your ID and completing your Hawaii 329 renewal.

Renewing Your Hawaii 329 Card? Here’s How to Use the New Registry Hawaii’s new 329 Registry is here, and the renewal process looks a little different than it did before. If you’re a returning 329 patient, the biggest thing to know is that you’ll now complete your renewal through the new online registry using your e-certification number . We know a brand-new state system can feel confusing the first time through, so Greener Healing Ways created a simple step-by-step renewal guide to walk you through it. Start With the Right Application One of the most important things for returning patients is choosing Patient Renewal rather than New Patient Registration. After logging into the Hawaii 329 Registry through the SSO/myHawaii screen, choose Apply, Update or Renew , select Patient , and then choose Patient Renewal . Your existing 10-digit license number should already be available in a dropdown for you to select. From there, you’ll review your information and continue through the renewal application. Your E-Certification Number The new registry uses an e-certification number from your provider. When you reach the certification section of the application, enter your e-cert number and click Verify Certification Number . Once the system confirms it and shows green/Yes, you can continue. This is an important part of the new process because your certification term is connected to the e-certification issued by your provider. A Few Spots That Are Easy to Miss There are a couple of places in the new registry that may not be obvious the first time through. The grow-site selection and grow-site attestations are separate sections . You can select No Grow Site if you are not registering one, but you still need to carefully read the attestations that appear in the application. There is also a Save Record button inside the grow-site section that can be easy to overlook. Make sure that section is saved before continuing. When you reach the document upload section, the registry is asking for a valid government-issued photo ID , such as a driver’s license, state ID or passport. Your previous 329 card is not the identification document being requested. Hawaii 329 Renewal Fees The State of Hawaii application fee is separate from any provider appointment fee. A 1-year application is $38.50 , while a 3-year application is $115.50 . Before submitting payment, take a moment to review the application. If the registry shows a red X next to any section, go back and correct that item before submitting. About the New 3-Year Renewal Option Eligible returning patients now have the option of a 3-year certification. For Greener Healing Ways patients, the 3-year renewal option is available to patients who have previously had a 329 appointment with Paola Abaro . The provider must also issue the e-certification specifically for the 3-year term . A patient cannot turn a 1-year certification into a 3-year certification simply by selecting a different payment option in the State application. Our Step-by-Step Renewal Guide This is where I would place your big renewal instruction graphic. I would actually put it right here , after the reader understands the basics. Then the image becomes the easy “follow along” portion of the article instead of making the entire blog feel like one long instruction manual. Under the image, I’d add: Save this guide while you complete your application. It walks you through the renewal process from logging in through submitting your State payment. Need a Hand? New systems always take a little getting used to. If you run into a question while working through your renewal, Greener Healing Ways is happy to help.
