Reasons to Renew Your OMMA Medical Card
Your OMMA medical card is valid only for two years. If you wish to continue buying and enjoying the numerous benefits of medical marijuana, you will need to renew your OMMA medical card.
Here are just some of the reasons you should consider renewing your OMMA medical card:
- Continuity in buying and consuming marijuana legally
- Access to licensed dispensaries and high-quality medical marijuana products
- Buy medical marijuana for a lower price
- Posses marijuana and grow your own plants at home legally
- Travel with your marijuana within the state of Oklahoma and states that have reciprocity laws
Medical Marijuana Card Renewal in Oklahoma
When discussing medical marijuana card renewal in OK, there are two important things to keep in mind for the process with the OMMA.
- You must have the original email and password that you used to apply with the first time. If that email is no longer an option or you forgot your password, you must call the OMMA call center at (405) 522-6662.
- You can apply for your MMJ card renewal 30 days before it expires — no sooner. Applications are reported to take around 14 days to process.
When Should I Renew My Medical Marijuana Card?
Again, as of right now, OMMA will not let you submit/pay for renewal if it is more than 30 days until your medical card expires.
We recommend renewing as close to the 30-day mark as possible so you are not stuck with an expired card. No one wants that.
OMMA Medical Card Renewal in 3 Steps
1. Get a Physician Recertification Appointment
To renew your medical marijuana card in Oklahoma, you need a new physician certification and recommendation for the renewal process. But, don’t stress! That’s where we come in.
At Elevate Holistics, you can book a same-day appointment online and see a licensed, compassionate cannabis doctor from the comfort of your home or wherever you choose to have your telemedicine (video) appointment.
You will need your recertification document to file for your renewal with OMMA online. With Elevate, you can download your doctor’s signed document from your encrypted patient dashboard. It’s convenient, safe, and user-friendly.
2. File For Your Medical Marijuana Card Renewal in Oklahoma
Once you have your physician recertification, you can begin the renewal process by going to the OMMA portal.
This takes you to a page where you can sign in to your existing account. Again, you must use the original email and password you created the account with. If you cannot sign in, call the OMMA call center at (405) 522-6662.
- Once in, click on License Dashboard in the column on the left.
- When your license information shows up, click on the Action button and select Patient Renewal.
- Your license number will come up on the screen. Select it and hit the Save button.
- For confirmation, the next screen will show the same license number. Simply click on the Save & Next button.
- Select your form of ID and put it in the ID number.
Hitting the Save & Next button then takes you to the contact screen. Verify your physical and mailing addresses. Your physical address must be an Oklahoma address and can not be a PO Box. Your mailing address may be different and is where your renewed license will be sent. Make sure it is correct before clicking Save & Next.
The next page is for your physician’s information. Keep in mind that the date of your physician’s signed recommendation can not be more than 30 days from the time you submit your renewal. Also, make sure you enter the physician’s address that the doctor put on the recommendation. Hit Save & Next to move on.
A page of questions comes up next. If you select Yes for Medicare or Medicaid or disabled veterans, you will need documentation as proof. Your application could be denied without it.
3. Pay the Fees and Submit Your Documentation
The last step towards your medical marijuana card renewal in Oklahoma is all about fees and documentation. Luckily, you can use the same documents as before to prove your identity and residency. Upload new documents if this has changed.
Save & Next will take you to the screen to upload any needed documents (photo, ID, doctor recommendation, etc.). The screen will prompt you about what to upload.
Finally, you will need to pay. Before you do, you will have a chance to review and edit your information. Payment is by credit card. Patient renewal is $100 with a $4.30 service fee. Disabled veterans’ renewal fee is $20.

Can You Use Your Oklahoma Medical Card on the Day it Expires?
If your Oklahoma medical card expires today, you can use it at any time of the day in a licensed dispensary. However, it will not be valid the next day, and renewing your OMMA medical card is not immediate, and you will have to wait for the approval.
The best advice is to start the renewal process 30 days before the expiration date.
Can a Non-Resident Get a Medical Card in Oklahoma?
Although showing proof of residency is one of the requirements to get the Oklahoma medical marijuana card, non-residents can also apply for an OMMA card.
