If you are transporting medical cannabis in Oklahoma, you need a transport agent card. Even if you are the owner of a grow, processing facility, or dispensary, you still need a transport agent card. Your business “transportation license” is no longer all you need to transport!
According to the OMMA website, “A transporter agent license allows individual employees/owners/agents to transport medical marijuana on behalf of a licensed transporter, including growers, processors, dispensaries and stand-alone transporters.”
The process of obtaining the agent card is simple and quick. In fact, the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority is approving transport agents in as little as 30 minutes. The transporter agent license fee is $100 for one year.
To begin, you will need a new OSBI Background check. You can apply for a background check online here, or if you are close to Oklahoma City, visit the OSBI at 6600 North Harvey Place OKC, OK and apply in person. The cost of the background check is $15 and is available the same day.
You will need an Affidavit of Lawful Presence, this is a simple form that says you are a citizen of the United States. This form does not have to be notarized.
You will need an Employment Verification Form. The top of this form is completed by the transporter agent and the bottom is completed and signed by the employer (commercial license holder).
Here are the forms you need to complete and scan for upload:
- Background Check (apply online)
- Affidavit of Lawful Presence (download here)
- Transporter Agent Employment Verification (download here)

Thanks for the tremendously helpful write-up! One other thing I found is they require a picture of the applicant, and if the background isn’t plain white or off-white, it will be rejected.
So, if you have a dispensary a transporter license comes with it, so what’s the use of the stand alone transportation license??
Good information, thanks you guys are on top of it All!!!
How do I get people to hire me to transport
Where can I find the vehicle requirements to transport medical marijuana? (I.e. weapon allowed, type of vehicle, containers, etc.?)
will this license allow me to transport for any grow, process and dispensary?
Is the transporter application site down ?
can I apply for a transportation agent card when I have not meet the 2 to 5 years requirement yet?
How about obtaining the Stand alone Transporter License?
The one where you don’t need to be affiliated with a grow or processing facility that is what I want to know about?
If I currently do not work for a grower or seller and want to get a transport license, can I?
From the comments in your website about agent transporters, I would have to be employed by a grower or seller to be able to transport. If that is the case am I only allowed to transport for them or can I transport for any legitimate grower or seller?
