UPDATE: Guidance on Alternative Patient ID

Dear licensee,

To improve patient experience and ensure timely access to medical marijuana, OMMA is providing updated guidance regarding acceptable forms of identification at the point of sale.

You no longer have to wait for your physical card to arrive in the mail to visit a dispensary.

If your application has been approved, you may now use your official OMMA approval email or approval in the OMMA MedPortal as a temporary form of licensure. Simply present the following at any licensed Oklahoma dispensary:

  1. An official OMMA approval email or proof of approved status in the OMMA MedPortal (or a photo of a physical OMMA patient card)
  2. AND a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport)

The dispensary will use OMMA Verify to confirm your active status at the time of sale. Please note that while your physical card is still being processed and mailed, this digital option allows you to shop as soon as you receive your approval notice.

If you have questions regarding this update, please contact us.
