A caregiver in Oklahoma must meet certain criteria to assist a registered patient. To begin with, a caregiver must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the state. To prove residency, a caregiver must provide a current Oklahoma license or state identification card. The caregiver must also provide documentation that they are designated by the state-registered patient to assist them. In Oklahoma, caregivers are not required to pay a card registration fee.
Patients in the registry who require assistance obtaining or using medical marijuana products may designate an authorized caregiver only if the physician’s recommendation form attached to the patient’s application includes certification of the patient’s need for a caregiver.
Caregivers must submit the Adult Patient Caregiver Designation Form signed by the patient. A parent or legal guardian designated as a caregiver must submit the Minor Patient Caregiver Designation Form. Minor patients may designate up to two (2) authorized caregivers who are parents or legal guardians.
There is no application fee for caregiver licenses. Caregiver licenses are valid up to the expiration date of the associated patient’s license. The caregiver requirements are as follows:
- Digital copy of proof of Oklahoma residency
- Digital copy of proof of identity
- A clear, color, full-face digital photograph valid for use in U.S. passports
- Submitted appropriate Patient Caregiver Designation Form signed by the patient
