Unable to connect to your patient information? Please review the following troubleshooting tips:

• Did you refer to your last-issued OMMP card and enter your name exactly the way it appears? For example: “JONATHAN L DOE”.
• Did you include your full last name as it appears on your last-issued OMMP card, including hyphenated names, JR, II, 2nd, etcetera? For example: “JONATHAN L DOE-REMI JR” (Note: If there is no hyphen or period in your name on your last-issued card do not use one.)
• Did you use your full first name (no nicknames)? For example: “JONATHAN” not “JON”.
• Did you include your middle initial (if you have one) exactly as it appears on the government ID you last submitted to the OMMP? Do not use a period when entering. For example: “JONATHAN L DOE”.
• Did you enter the government ID number from the government ID you last submitted to the OMMP? Do not include the state abbreviation unless it is included in your ID number. If your government ID number contains characters or spaces you must enter the number exactly as it appears. As an example, an Oregon ID or driver license would be entered as: “123456” not “OR123456”.
• Are you entering the number from your patient card? (Not your caregiver or grower card.)
• Are you entering the number in the correct location? Enter registration number in the registration box and patient card number in the patient box.
• Be sure there are no extra spaces before or after the number you enter.
