Which form serves as the Certificate of DEA Registration?

• A. DEA Form 224
• B. DEA Form 223
• C. DEA Form 222
• D. DEA Form 224A

Answer: (B)

When you’re granted permission to handle controlled substances, the document that proves your authorization is the official Certificate of Registration. That certificate is issued on DEA Form 223, and it displays your registration number, name, business address, and the schedules you’re permitted to handle. The other forms serve different purposes: Form 222 is for ordering Schedule I and II substances, Form 224 is the initial registration application, and Form 224A relates to registrations at additional locations. So the form that serves as the Certificate of DEA Registration is DEA Form 223.
