Alert: Social equity applicant verification is underway

Social equity applicant verification is underway

This morning the system for verifying a potential applicant’s social equity status opened for use on the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management’s website.

We strongly recommend that potential social equity applicants should start the verification process early. The verification system will close to applicants on July 10. Eligibility requirements and technical support resources are posted on OCM’s website.

Only those verified as a social equity applicant will be able to submit an application for a cannabis business license preapproval during the window beginning July 24 and closing Aug. 12, as required by law. There will be additional rounds to verify social equity status, as well as additional application rounds for licenses with and without social equity classification when general licensing opens in 2025.
