DEA license
Started by Femtochemistry
It was the fastest part of the many steps I have done to get ready for my new job (state licensure, etc). Really fast. Maybe 1.5-2 weeks for me?
oh. i've read on-line that it takes 3-6 months...

You need to have a state-level controlled substance registration first. That might take some time, too.

It's only 3-4 days in Texas. The DPS took about 2 months.
Just a few days for me.
Took 6 weeks to get Illinois state license after moving there with a Wisconsin state one which I got in residency.
Yeah, but (I think) only about half of the states have a state-level registration. Others, your medical license includes the prescribing.
Maybe I'm all wet, though - I needed one in SC and HI, but not in PA. I don't think NY has one. Getting one in HI was easy-peasy (and, ironically and as a racist, Japanezy, as that group is over-represented in HI) and quick (less than 5 business days).
(And, just to over-explain, "Japanezy" is just the old school rhyme (which you heard in "The Shawshank Redemption"), whereas "lemon squeezy" is the newer, PC rhyme.)
Just an update. Applied for the DEA lic on Saturday, received in the mail this Friday. Quick!

The Gov't doesn't give a $hit, they just want your $$$$!
DEA in Florida took about 3 days. They just require your medical license first.
On a related note, I'm moving to a different state; do I have to do anything with my DEA?

You need a new dea number if you move to a new state. Each dea number is state specific and you are in violation of federal law if you prescribe or dispenser or even administer controlled substances without the proper state dea number.
God damn it The Man is keeping me down. Guess I better get another one by next month ...
Wait a second, I think we may be able to just modify our current DEA license if moving.

Am I misinterpreting?
Or what about Point # 3 here?

Though it does say that it treats each change as a new application.

Correct, you just modify the DEA license by submitting change of address to them. I am in process of changing jobs and that is all that is done.

I was going to say, that would suck for someone who is doing locums if they had to have a gazillion DEA numbers and pay for each one
