SQ 788 required the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) to oversee Oklahoma's medical marijuana program. OSDH established the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) to fulfill that role, including receiving and reviewing all medical marijuana licensing applications. In 2022, SB 1543 established OMMA as an independent state agency, and OMMA continues to fulfill the role of overseeing the state's medical marijuana industry.

State law requires OMMA to process patient license applications within 14 business days of the date the applicant submits it. OMMA will send applicants an email after staff reviews the application. For approved applications, it takes one or two more business days to print the patient license identification card. Then OMMA mails the card to the patient by regular U.S. Postal Service first-class mail.

If an application is incomplete due to unclear or missing information or documents, OMMA sends the applicant an email stating the reason(s) it is incomplete. Applicants can log back in to their account to make corrections once they receive this email (but not before).

If an application is reviewed and denied because all requirements have not been met, OMMA will mail a denial letter stating the reason(s) within 14 business days of submission.

The standard application fee is $100. Patients who provide acceptable proof of Medicaid (SoonerSelect) or Medicare enrollment or status as a 100% disabled veteran will pay a reduced fee of $20. Application fees must 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. 

Many retail stores have pre-paid MasterCard or Visa cards available for purchase. Applicants who do not have access to a personal credit card may purchase one of these pre-paid MasterCard or Visa cards and load the amount of the licensing and processing fees at the store. The card may then be used for the online transaction.

Step 1: Check to ensure the correct billing address and zip code for the credit/debit card is correctly entered.

Step 2: Check to ensure the credit card number, expiration date, and CVV code is entered in the correct fields and in the correct format.

Step 3: If the information entered in Steps 1 and 2 is correct, call the issuing bank using the phone number on the back of the card and ask them to investigate why the payment didn’t go through. The issuing bank can provide more information to help you resolve the problem.

Step 4: If the above steps are unsuccessful, try using a prepaid Visa, MasterCard, or Discover debit or credit card. Some prepaid cards charge an activation fee. Make sure to purchase a card with the correct prepaid amount that will cover the card activation, application and processing fees.

You will need to visit your doctor and have them complete and sign the Adult Patient Physician Recommendation Form. A digital copy of the form must be submitted with the application through the online system. The form must be dated within 30 days of the date you apply. For instance, if your physician signs the recommendation form on Sept. 30, the application must be submitted by Oct. 30.

Oklahomans age 18 and older must obtain a signed Adult Patient Physician Recommendation Form. Oklahomans under age of 18 must get two physicians’ signatures using the Minor Patient Physician Recommendation Form.

State law requires OMMA to process patient license applications within 14 business days of the date the applicant submits it. OMMA will send applicants an email after staff reviews the application. For approved applications, it takes one or two more business days to print the patient license identification card. Then OMMA mails the card to the patient by regular U.S. Postal Service first-class mail.

If an application is incomplete due to unclear or missing information or documents, OMMA sends the applicant an email stating the reason(s) it is incomplete. Applicants can log back in to their account to make corrections once they receive this email (but not before).

If an application is reviewed and denied because all requirements have not been met, OMMA will mail a denial letter stating the reason(s) within 14 business days of submission.

This individual is referred to as a Caregiver, and they will need to hold a valid Caregiver license. Caregiver licenses are available for patients who provide documentation from a physician that they need a caregiver. This documentation is part of the Adult Patient Physician Recommendation Form and can be provided by you when you submit your application or at a later date by accessing your online account.

A patient can only have one licensed caregiver at a time, and the caregiver must submit an application meeting all requirements to receive a caregiver license. This includes the requirement that the caregiver must provide a Caregiver Designation Form signed by the patient.

You must present your medical marijuana patient license identification card every time you purchase medical marijuana at a dispensary or have marijuana taken to a processor to be concentrated. Licensed businesses must verify the validity of your license every time you buy products or services. Law enforcement officers may also require you to show them your identification card to prove you are licensed to legally use and possess medical marijuana.

We can accept a driver’s license with a P.O. Box if it is accompanied by another valid form of proof of residency, or legal documents for victim protection. A P.O. Box can also be used as a mailing address if the above information is provided.

If you lost your card, or it has been at least 30 days since OMMA approved your application but you never received your card, log on to your account in the OMMA licensing portal and navigate the menu options to fill out a replacement card request. Select your replacement request reason. Ensure your address is correct before submitting a replacement request. If your address is not correct, please first submit an update application request.

Oklahoma residents can apply for up to two types of adult patient licenses valid for either two years or 60 days from the issue date, unless the license is revoked by the physician or OMMA. The 60-day adult patient license for in-state residents is referred to as a “short-term” license.

A medical marijuana out-of-state (temporary) patient license allows someone with a valid medical marijuana license from another state (issued by that state government) to legally buy, use and grow medical marijuana and medical marijuana products in Oklahoma. It’s available to adults and minors.

The license is in the form of an identification card to prove the patient is a license holder. The card contains the patient’s name, photo, date of birth, city and county of residence, the type of license, expiration date, and the patient’s unique medical marijuana license number.

For minor patients, the online application system will ask for parent/legal guardian information along with the minor’s information. The name of the parent/legal guardian who signs the minor’s application will be placed on the minor’s patient license.

Out-of-state (temporary) licenses are valid for 30 days. Out-of-state applicants can apply for a new license beginning one week before the expiration of their current out-of-state license.

A medical marijuana minor patient license allows an Oklahoma resident under the age of 18 to legally possess, use and grow medical marijuana and medical marijuana products in Oklahoma.

A minor patient license holder is not authorized to smoke or vaporize any medical marijuana or medical marijuana products, unless both recommending physicians agree it is medically necessary. Minors are not prohibited from using nebulizers or other aerosolized medical devices.

The caregiver license allows someone to help a homebound patient with the purchase, application, and administration of medical marijuana. A caregiver license is available to designated caregivers of any homebound patient. Only patients whose physician certifies a medical need for a caregiver may have a licensed caregiver. The status of the applicant as a minor, on its own, does not qualify the applicant for a caregiver. For more information, visit the caregiver license section of our main patient licensing page.
