Moving to or from Oklahoma with WIC

Moving TO Oklahoma

Moving to Oklahoma with WIC? Bring a Verification of Certification (VOC) from your old clinic and Oklahoma State Department of Health must honor it — you keep your certification without a new income screening until the period ends.

Leaving Oklahoma

Before leaving Oklahoma, ask your WIC clinic for a Verification of Certification (VOC). Every other state is federally required to accept it, so your certification continues after the move.

Common questions

Who runs WIC in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma State Department of Health. The official page and application link are cited below — always act through them.

Does Oklahoma make new residents wait for WIC?

No state may impose a residency waiting period for WIC. You apply as soon as you live in Oklahoma; eligibility is decided on Oklahoma's own rules.

Where do I report that I'm leaving Oklahoma?

Before you leave Oklahoma, ask your local WIC clinic for a Verification of Certification (VOC) card — Oklahoma publishes a dedicated VOC request line at (405) 426-8504. Federal rules (7 CFR 246.7) require your new state to accept the VOC, so your certification moves with you for the rest of its period. General OK WIC line: (405) 426-8500 / toll-free (888) 655-2942.
