Facility Agent ID - How to Apply

Notice: Following the FBI’s approval of the department’s statutory authority to review state and federal criminal background records, pursuant to 19 CSR 100-1.070 (2)(E), DCR is resuming fingerprint submission requirement of agent ID applicants to screen for disqualifying felony offenses. As part of the FBI’s approval, the department has received a new four-digit code for fingerprint submissions, therefore, the code utilized under the medical program is no longer valid.

DCR will resume the agent ID application fingerprint submission requirement on December 2, 2024. Following receipt of an agent ID application, applicants will receive an email from DCR with the new four-digit code and further instructions, allowing them two weeks to submit fingerprints. To reduce final processing timeframes, applicants should follow the instructions provided to submit fingerprints and notify DCR once completed as soon as possible after receiving the email. Applications are considered incomplete until receipt of fingerprint submission results.

The Department’s authority under statute to receive fingerprint-based criminal history background checks is strictly limited to individuals subject to the analysis of a disqualifying felony offense.
Distribution of the four-digit code and fingerprint submission instructions outside of the intended recipient is strictly prohibited.

Additional information regarding fingerprint submissions for active agent ID cardholders will be posted separately. Please check back periodically for updates.

  • New Agent ID Digital Card Feature - The Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR) added a QR code to the backside of Agent ID cards. DCR encourages current Agent ID cardholders to download a new card from the online registry portal. Licensees and DCR may use the QR code to verify if an individual’s Agent ID card is valid and belongs to the individual in possession of the license. Please contact Cannabisinfo@health.mo.gov for troubleshooting assistance.
