How will I know when it’s time to renew my license?

Patient and caregiver license holders will receive notices from OMMA 30 days prior to the license expiration date. These notices are sent from the registry system to the email address in the application.

When can I renew my license?

Patients and caregivers can submit their renewal no earlier than 30 days prior to expiration.

Once the application has been submitted, it will be reviewed by the OMMA. If it is deemed complete and meets all requirements, an approval letter with your license will be mailed within 14 business days of the application submission date.

If an application is incomplete due to unclear or missing information or documents, you will receive email correspondence stating the reason(s) it is incomplete. You will be able to log back into your account to make corrections once you receive this email (but not before). The re-submission date is the date a complete application is provided.
