How long does it take to get a card?
If submitting online, a temporary card may be printed upon completion of approved application. This temporary card is valid for 90 days and can be used while awaiting the arrival of your official OMMP card.
If submitting via Certified Mail, the patient will be issued a receipt letter once their application is received by OMMP. This receipt has the same legal effect as a registry identification card for 30 days following the date printed on the letter. Once your application is finished being processed, a card will be mailed to you. This may take several weeks. Please do not call to check your status prior to 30 days from the date we receive your application. The processing of applications takes time, and the same staff who review your application also answer the phones. The more calls they receive, the slower they process applications.
