hi all - applied for my DEA last week. Saw in old posts that people recovered their DEA in 1-2 weeks. Is this anyone's experience? I'm really anxious to get mine asap.

Waited three weeks. Called them...then got it a week later.

So you heard it takes 1-2 weeks, and it hasn't yet been 2 weeks? Why are you so concerned?

I read it was around this timeframe from a post a couple years back. My concern is whether or not this is still the case now.

I have had a DEA number since I was in third-year resident. Thus, Ive renewed several times and it's never taken more than a couple of weeks.

I too have had a DEA # since I was an R3. As a result, since I renew plenty early (and by "I renew", I mean I send an email to my credentialing person), I have no idea how long it takes. But IIRC, a couple of weeks is about right.
