Transporter License

A transporter license is issued simultaneously with commercial grower, processor, dispensary and laboratory licenses. It allows those licensees, through their licensed transport agents, to transport their own medical marijuana and medical marijuana products. Commercial licensees use their business account to apply on behalf of their employees for OMMA-issued transporter agent licenses. Anyone driving a vehicle transporting products between licensed businesses must have a transporter license and transporter agent license identification card.

A commercial transporter license is a standalone license for a business that transports medical marijuana and/or medical marijuana products between licensed medical marijuana businesses, through their licensed transportation agents. Transporters do not grow, process or sell their own medical marijuana. Transporter licenses are similar, but issued simultaneously with grower, processor and dispensary licenses for those licensees to transport their own products (through their licensed transportation agents).

A transporter agent license allows individual employees/owners/agents to transport medical marijuana on behalf of a licensed transporter, including growers, processors, dispensaries and standalone commercial transporters. Commercial licensees apply for the license on behalf of their employees. If approved for your license, OMMA will issue a transporter agent identification card to carry with you any time you are transporting medical marijuana.

Watch our videos. Transporter licenses are issued simultaneously with grower, processor and dispensary licenses. Transporter agents will need to work with the business that is employing them to submit the application through their OMMA business account. 

A standalone transporter license application fee is $2,500. Transporter licenses are also issued simultaneously with grower, processor and dispensary licenses for no additional fee.

Transporters may have multiple warehouses with the submission of one application fee, but a separate application must be submitted for each warehouse from the same online account. Each warehouse location must have a Certificate of Compliance.

Application fees will be paid by Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit or debit card. An additional credit card processing fee will be added to the transaction. These application and processing fees are non-refundable. The payment will not be refunded for applications not approved.

A transporter agent license application fee is $25. A separate application and fee is required for each agent license if the agent is employed by multiple businesses.

A transporter agent license appearing active in OMMA Verify is active, even if the listed expiration date has passed. Transporter agents who submit a timely renewal application may use a transporter agent license reflecting an expired date until receiving a new license by mail.

Standalone commercial transporter licenses and transporter agent licenses are valid for one year, unless terminated by the associated employer or revoked by OMMA.

Application fees will be paid by Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit or debit card. An additional credit card processing fee will be added to the transaction. These application and processing fees are non-refundable. The payment will not be refunded for applications not approved.

If you have a trade name/Doing Business As (DBA) that is different than your entity name, it must be listed on your application. For example, you cannot have a license under the name “Legal MMJ Co” and have a storefront sign that ID’s your business as “MMJ Plus.”

If you are not in the application process but do not have your trade name/DBA on file, you can update it through your business’s licensing portal.

Your physical address needs to match the one that OMMA has on file for your location. Your license is tied to this location.
