Certification and application steps

OMC says a patient needs a serious medical condition and certification by a registered physician. After certification, the patient submits an application and $50 fee to the Office of Medical Cannabis. OMC says it reviews applications within 30 days and emails status updates; the page does not guarantee approval by that date. If approved, the patient downloads the digital card through the portal.

Use the current OMC page and forms

The OMC page links the live application portal, patient guides, and renewal instructions. Use those current links rather than legacy /patients URLs or old PDF paths. A medical card is not a diagnosis or promise that a specific product is suitable. See our general medical-card process overview.
