Your Oklahoma temporary medical card
For Oklahoma residents, a temporary medical card isn't a separate card. Once the state approves your application, your official approval email or your approved status in OMMA's MedPortal, along with a valid photo ID, works as temporary licensure until your card arrives in the mail. It starts with a $99 video visit with an OMMA-registered physician, with a full refund if you're not approved.

What counts as your temporary medical card
OMMA doesn't mail a separate temporary card. Under its January 6, 2026 guidance, once your application is approved you can show either of these, together with a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or passport: your official OMMA approval email, or proof of approved status in OMMA's MedPortal.
Your physical card is printed one or two business days after approval and mailed by first-class mail. If it hasn't arrived 30 days after approval, you can request a replacement through OMMA's licensing portal.
Temporary medical card questions
Does Oklahoma mail a temporary medical card?
Not for Oklahoma residents. OMMA doesn't mail residents a separate temporary card. After you're approved, your approval email or approved MedPortal status, plus a valid photo ID, works as temporary licensure until your physical card arrives. Visitors with another state's medical marijuana license can apply for OMMA's separate 30-day out-of-state license instead.
How long does OMMA approval take?
OMMA reviews patient applications within 14 business days of the date you submit. After approval, it takes one or two more business days to print your card before it's mailed.
How long can I use my approval email?
OMMA's guidance doesn't set an end date. It covers the time while your physical card is being processed and mailed.
What if my card never arrives?
If you haven't received your card 30 days after approval, you can request a replacement through OMMA's licensing portal.
Can I get temporary licensure the same day as my visit?
You can often meet your physician the same day, but the state still has to review your application first. Your approval email comes once OMMA approves you, usually within 14 business days.
Do out-of-state patients need a doctor visit?
No. OMMA's 30-day out-of-state license requires a medical marijuana license issued by your home state's government instead of a physician recommendation. You apply directly with OMMA and pay the state's $104.30 fee ($100 plus a $4.30 processing fee). There's no reduced fee for this license.

Out-of-state patients: the 30-day license
If you live in another state and hold a medical marijuana license issued by that state's government, you don't need a physician visit. You apply directly with OMMA for a 30-day out-of-state patient license and pay the state fee.
Oklahoma residents
Out-of-state visitors
Licenses from Missouri and Arkansas qualify because those state governments issue them. Recommendations or licenses issued by out-of-state doctors aren't accepted, and neither are cards from states where the government doesn't issue the license, such as Texas.
