How to Acquire Your Oklahoma Medical Marijuana License

The first step to acquiring a medical marijuana license is to get a doctor’s recommendation. As most Oklahoma doctors are not signing recommendation forms at the moment, you will need to find a doctor near you that is comfortable with doing so. A list of local registered physicians can be found here.

Your doctor will then need to fill out and sign the Adult Patient Physician Application Recommendation Form, of which a digital copy will need to be submitted with the application via the OMMA online system.  This signed form must be dated within 30 days of the date you apply.

You must apply and pay via an online system on the OMMA website. To do this, you will need to have a valid email address, which notices will be sent to after you create an account.  Click here and click register at the top.

For an OMMA patient license, you will need to provide the following:

• Patient’s full name
• Date of birth
• Residence and mailing address
• Email address and telephone number
• Physician information
• Patient signature dated within 30 days of application date

You will need to provide certain documentation. The following valid, unexpired documents are needed:

1. Proof of Oklahoma residency (digital copy of one of the following)

• Oklahoma identification card (front and back)
• Oklahoma driver’s license (front and back)
• A utility bill for the calendar month preceding the date of application, excluding cell phone or internet bills.
• Oklahoma voter I.D. card
• A residential property deed to property in the State of Oklahoma
• A current rental agreement for residential property located in the State of Oklahoma

2. A proof of identity (digital copy of one of the following)

• Oklahoma identification card (front and back)
• Oklahoma driver’s license (front and back)
• U.S. passport of other U.S. government issued photo identification
• Tribal identification card approved for identification purposes by the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety: United States Bureau of Indian Affairs identification card or a Oklahoma tribal photo identification cards: Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma, Kiowa, Comanche, Apache of Oklahoma, Absentee Shawnee, Cheyenne-Arapaho, Choctaw, Delaware, Caddo Nation of Oklahoma issued on or after January 8, 2008.

3. A clear, color, full-face digital photograph

4. The patient’s Medicare or Medicaid (SoonerCare) insurance card or enrolment documentation, if possible.

5. Adult Patient Physician Recommendation Form dated within 30 days of application submission

Individuals who provide proof of Medicare or Medicaid (SoonerCare) enrolment will pay a reduced fee of $20. Otherwise, the standard application fee is $100. The fee must be paid by MasterCard, Visa or Discover credit or debit card. An additional processing fee will be added to the transaction, and these fees are non-refundable. The payments will not be refunded for applications that are not approved.

If you do not have a debit or credit card, many retail stores and pharmacies have pre-paid Visa or MasterCard cards that applicants can buy and load with the amount of licensing and processing fees. This card can be used for the online transaction.

Your application will be reviewed by the OMMA once submitted. If the application is complete and meets all of the requirements, you will receive a letter of approval with your new ID card, which will be mailed within 14 days of your application submission date.

If missing or unclear information or missing documents render your application incomplete, you will receive an email stating the reason(s) it has been found to be incomplete. If this occurs, you will be able to log back in to your account to make any corrections necessary. The submission date will be the date that OMMA receives a complete application.

If an application is denied due to all requirements not being met, a denial letter will be sent which will include the reason(s) for the denial, and this will be mailed 14 days within the submission date.
