Practitioners who register at one location in a state, but practice at other locations within that same state, are not required to register with the DEA at any other location in that state at which they only prescribe controlled substances. If you prescribe controlled substances in more than one state, a separate DEA registration is required for each state where you administer, dispense, or prescribe controlled substances.

Hence, if you practice medicine and prescribe controlled substances within multiple states, a separate registration would be needed for each state you prescribe within. Multiple registrations might also be needed within the same state dependent upon the details of your practice. Modifications of registration must be requested when DEA registrants move to a new physical practice location.

Modifications are handled in the same manner as new applications and must be approved by the DEA. Once such a modification is processed, a new certificate of registration will be issued. DEA registrations are renewed every three years. Unlike state medical licenses, your DEA registration renewal date is directly correlated to the date your registration was first issued.

There are situations where expiration dates may not be the full three-year period. When an individual is first registered with the DEA, they may receive an initial registration period of a minimum of 28 months or a maximum of 39 months. Subsequent renewal periods, however, will follow the three-year schedule. DEA Form a can be completed and accessed here. A second renewal reminder will later be sent via email.
