Bureau of Cannabis Control Launches Online Licensing Application System:
Interested Parties Can Now Begin Submitting Applications
SACRAMENTO—The Bureau of Cannabis Control (Bureau) today officially launched its online licensing system
and is now accepting applications for commercial cannabis licenses for retailers, distributors, microbusinesses,
testing laboratories and cannabis events.The new online licensing system allows applicants to easily apply for
a temporary and annual commercial cannabis license, submit payments and track the status of an existing
application.
"Today's launch of our online licensing system is the culmination of many months of hard work by our
dedicated team," Bureau Chief Lori Ajax said. "Now that applications are coming in, we can officially move one
step closer to issuing California's first state licenses for commercial cannabis activity."
The link to the online licensing system can be accessed here: http://online.bcc.ca.gov/.
New users will be required to register an account on the Bureau's online self-service portal prior to applying
for a license.
For more information on how to fully utilize the online system, users can check out the site's e-learning portal,
which can be accessed here: http://www.bcc.ca.gov/clear/e_learning.html.
The Bureau will be reviewing temporary applications and once approved will be issuing temporary licenses
with an effective date of January 1, 2018. No temporary license will be effective prior to this date.Temporary
licenses will only be issued to applicants with a valid license, permit or authorization from their local
jurisdiction.
The Bureau's emergency regulations are now in effect and the final text can be found at
http://www.bcc.ca.gov/ under "Important Announcements."
