fyrelight74 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I am a new PA-C, and applied for my DEA on Tuesday. The website says it can take 4-6 weeks. How long, in reality, did it take for you to get your DEA number? I have a clean record, no complicating factors like previous licenses or anything. I'm in California. Thanks! I'm also taking the controlled substances class next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 One week. The physical card took about two weeks to reach my house, but it was in my employer's computer system and printed on my scripts after about a week. I'm in MN. I don't think the state particularly matters though, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aprillh Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I just applied a few months ago. I definitely wasn't 4-6 weeks. I was surprised when it came in the mail a couple of weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator True Anomaly Posted September 28, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2013 I think the location does matter when you're applying for your initial DEA. It took forever to get mine because the local DEA office either lost it or it was just back-logged with others. I'm in Philly, so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. I just renewed, and it was simply a matter of doing it online, so it was instantaneous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
