Public Records

Please read through the information on this page to learn about the request process.

Some commonly requested files may already be published and available on our website (see Commonly Requested Records below).

If you are looking for a status update or copy of your Alcohol Server Permit contact: OLCC.ServicePermits@oregon.gov.  If you are looking for a status update or copy of your Marijuana Worker Permit, please contact Marijuana.WorkerPermit@oregon.gov.


OLCC will estimate the fee for your request. Do not send any money until OLCC has reviewed your request, estimated the cost, and sent you an invoice.

Many marijuana-related records are exempt from disclosure under ORS 475C.517. The OLCC does not release the following:
  • Addresses of producers, processors, and wholesalers
  • Information relating to security and operational plans
  • Information the Commission has determined is proprietary, such as a licensee's data in the Cannabis Tracking System (METRC).
Other statutory redactions are made according to ORS 192.340.
