DEA Registration FAQs
Do I need a separate DEA registration for each state?
Yes. A DEA registration is tied to a state, so prescribers practicing in several states generally need one in each.
Which comes first, state or DEA?
In states that issue their own controlled substance registration, the state registration usually comes first.
How often is DEA renewed?
Every three years.
