What happens if a practitioner/physician relocates their business?
Answer A practitioner who moves to a new location must request a modification of registration. It is the practitioners responsibility to notify the DEA about a change of address before the effective date of the move. The notice of change of address should be made in writing to the local DEA office. An Address Change Request is available on the Internet at www.DEAdiversion.usdoj.gov. The form must be manually signed and faxed or mailed to the local DEA office. The request must include a copy of the practitioners current state medical/professional license for the new address along with a copy of the practitioners corrected state controlled substance registration if applicable.
