Out-of-State Patient Licenses

Residents of other states who have state-government-issued medical marijuana patient licenses are eligible for Oklahoma’s 30-day adult or minor out-of-state patient licenses. Prescriptions or licenses issued by out-of-state medical providers are not honored for Oklahoma’s out-of-state licenses.

For example, among Oklahoma’s bordering states with medical marijuana programs, patients from Missouri and Arkansas are eligible because those state governments issue the licenses. Patients from Texas are not eligible, because the state government does not issue the licenses.

Out-of-state applicants must provide their state-issued medical marijuana patient license, an acceptable photo and proof of identity: digital color copies of the front and back of a state-issued driver license or ID card, or a U.S. Passport.

The nonrefundable out-of-state patient license processing fee is $100, plus a $4.30 credit card processing fee.
