OFM PLUS FAQs

General Account Information

To file an application or submit any information in the PLUS platform, users must register for a free account. Watch the following step-by-step guide video to see how to register for your PLUS customer account.

To browse and search for information on PLUS, an account is not needed. Other interested parties can peruse the site without logging in.

Once you log in to PLUS, you can make changes to your account by selecting the Account Management tab in the upper righthand corner. There you will be able to update details such as your contact information, login information, license information and trust account information.

It is imperative that public users maintain their contact information to ensure automated notifications are received and record interaction is allowed.

You can make changes (upload new documents, update FPCP licenses, extend permit expirations, etc.) to an existing record in the system depending on what the current status of the record is. If the record is eligible for changes, you will see the Make Changes option to the right of the record in your Records list under the Action column.

Click on the change you want to make, and then click Continue Application. You will see a confirmation on the screen.  An email notification will be sent and include the new record number associated with the proposed changes. The proposed changes become a new record (known as an amendment) that will show up in your list of records.

If the PLUS System is unable to find your address, it is most likely a formatting issue. 

Please click Clear at the bottom of the address section of your application. Enter the *Street Number of the work location and *Street Name only into the search fields below.  Do not enter the Street Type (Ex. Blvd, Rd, Dr, etc.) into the *Street Name field when performing an Address Search.  Click Search.

If there is more than one match for your search criteria a new window will open to allow you to select the proper address.  Parcel number and Owner will automatically be filled in once the system finds the exact match.
