New Licensure/Endorsement - General Information
MD’s and DO’s may apply concurrently for a license to practice medicine and surgery and for a controlled
substance registration.
* If you apply concurrently for your Physician – MD or Physician – DO license and a controlled substance
registration, the controlled substance registration will be processed after your Physician license is issued.
When your Delaware controlled substance registration is approved, you must then file for a federal DEA
registration.
* If you do not wish to apply for a controlled substance registration concurrently, you may apply later. To
apply later, use the Controlled Substances Application for Practitioners.
* Your first controlled substance registration covers all Delaware locations where you may prescribe
controlled substances. Typically, your main practice’s location is the address associated with this registration.
However, if you dispense (i.e., give out) and or store controlled substances for patient administration at any
additional locations, you or another practitioner in your practice must apply for a separate registration for
each such location.
* When your application is complete, please allow 4-8 weeks to receive your Physician license and an
additional two weeks to receive your controlled substance registration.
