ATTENTION 
Certificate of Registration Design Change

August 26 2004

The Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA), Office of Diversion Control, is in the process of changing the style and appearance of the DEA Controlled Substance Registration Certificate. As of October 1, 2004, the revised Certificate of Registration will consist of two parts: one that can be displayed on the wall and a smaller wallet size version. The certificate will have an imbedded watermark logo, which will provide authentication of the certificate and also deter counterfeiting.

Registrants will soon be allowed to renew their DEA registration via the Diversion Control Program’s website. Registrants (i.e., Retail Pharmacies, Hospitals, Practitioners, Mid-level Practitioners and Teaching Institutions) may print their Certificate of Registration upon completion of the registration renewal process as long as no changes have been made to their registration since their last renewal. The Diversion Control Program’s website may be accessed at www.DEAdiversion.usdoj.gov. The DEA will continue to send Certificates of Registration via the United States Postal Service to all new registrants and all other DEA registrants renewing their DEA registration.

Sincerely,

Patricia M. Good, Chief
Liaison and Policy Section
Office of Diversion Control
