Oklahoma medical card requirements
Here are the Oklahoma medical card requirements in one simple checklist. Have these ready before your video visit and your state application goes smoothly.
Your Oklahoma medical card requirements checklist
The state asks every adult applicant for the same few things. Gather them before your video visit so you can apply as soon as your physician's recommendation arrives. Use the checklist below, then book your visit whenever you're ready.
Proof of identity
One of these (front and back where it applies):
Make sure it isn't expired and that every corner is clear in your upload.
Proof of residency
One of these:
Your name and Oklahoma address need to be easy to read on whichever document you choose.
A clear photo
A color, full-face digital photo that meets the state's photo rules. Plain background, no hats or sunglasses. Take it in good light, facing the camera.
A device with a camera
A phone, tablet or computer for your private video visit. You'll need to be in Oklahoma during the visit, and a quiet spot with good lighting helps.
Proof for the reduced fee
On SoonerCare, Medicare or a 100% disabled veteran? Have proof ready to upload so you pay the $22.50 state fee. Medicaid proof needs to show your coverage start and end dates.
Remember the 30-day window
Your physician's recommendation must be dated within 30 days of your state application, so apply soon after your visit. Once you submit, the state reviews applications in up to 14 business days.
Oklahoma medical card requirements: common questions
What ID do I need for an Oklahoma medical card?
OMMA needs proof of identity and proof of Oklahoma residency. A current Oklahoma driver's license or state ID usually covers both. If your ID isn't from Oklahoma, plan to show another proof of residency, such as a utility bill or rental agreement.
What photo does the state want for an Oklahoma medical card?
A clear, full-face digital photo. You upload it with your state application on OMMA's MedPortal.
Do I need a physician recommendation to apply?
Yes. Your application needs a signed recommendation from an OMMA-registered physician, dated within 30 days of the date you apply.
How do I prove I qualify for the reduced fee?
Upload proof of SoonerCare or Medicare enrollment, or of 100% disabled veteran status, with your application. For SoonerCare, OMMA asks for an eligibility screenshot that shows your coverage start and end dates.
