Page 8: Getting your DEA number


So you've made it. You're sitting pretty with your shiny new California Medical License and license number. Sorry to break it to you, but it's actually pretty worthless without a DEA number. So once you've gotten your license, you need to do the following:


Click here to access the DEA website. You'll need Adobe Acrobat 4.05 or higher to fill out the interactive PDF form.

Follow these steps:

1. Click on "interactive form"
2. Click on "go directly to form (PDF)"
3. Click on the appropriate areas in the form and fill out your info.
4. Under "registration classification", click on "practicioner" and type "MD"
5. Under "drug schedules" click on everything.
6. DO NOT PAY THE $210! You don't have to pay this fee and if you do pay it, you won't get a refund.
7. Fill out the part about "certification for fee exemption". You can really put anyone under "certifying official" -- Harry, Sharad, Tracy, etc.

Once you've filled out the form, do not mail it to the Washington D.C. office! Mail it to the local DEA Office:

DEA - San Francisco Field Division
Att'n Registration Application
450 Golden Gate Avenue, 14th Floor
PO Box 36035
SF, CA 94102
