Licensing System FAQ's

General

If you have already visited your practitioner regarding participation in the medical cannabis program and you do not see a recommendation certification available, please contact your practitioner. Your practitioner must first be approved to participate in the program and then submit an electronic certification on your behalf. You will then be able to submit your application. If your practitioner confirms that a certification has been submitted on your behalf, verify the Date of Birth (DOB) and Social Security Number (SSN) used by the practitioner. If they do not match the information used when setting up your portal account, they will not appear in your “View Available Certifications” tab. For help call 601-206-1540.

Check Application Status

If you applied online, you can check your application status online through the MMCP Licensing Portal. When reviewing your application(s), you will see a column labeled Status where the current status of each application will be listed.

I have a hard copy of my document. How can I upload it? 

One of the easiest ways to convert a physical (hard copy) document into an electronic (soft copy) document is to use a scanner. However, if you do not have a scanner available, then taking a picture of the document and emailing or downloading it to your computer will also work.

Can I upload a zip file?

No. Zip or similar file compression formats are not accepted. Check below on how to reduce your file size.

What can I do if my file is more than 10 MB?

Do not compress the files using zip or similar file compression format.

To reduce the file size of an image:

  • Adjust the Quality (0% to 100%) of the image when selecting “Save As”. Be sure to review the image to ensure it is readable before you upload it to your application.

To reduce the file size of scanned documents:

  • Scan the document at a lower resolution (200 dpi is suitable for text documents)
  • Do not choose to scan in full color, opt for greyscale or black and white for text documents

I received an error when trying to upload my file(s).

Please make sure that your document is within the size limit of 10MB.

Also check to make sure that your file name does not contain any special characters other than the period before the file type as other special characters or symbols could prevent the system from being able to upload your document. If you are still unable to upload your document, please try renaming the file with a shorter file name.

Lastly, if you are unable to upload your document after following the above steps, your document/file may be corrupted or have an error. Please make a new copy/scan of the document to upload.

If you have already tried all of the above steps and are still receiving errors uploading your documents, please contact our Technical Support team using this online form.

The most common reason for payment processing issues is due to a billing address mis-match. Please confirm that the address you enter on the payment screen is the correct billing address for the form of payment being used.
