Changing DEA Research Registrant

If the Registration is in the Department's Name

If your Department needs to change the name of the research (DEA) Registrant, the change can be done online at the DEA Registration Update Request website. A new DEA application is not required.

All changes of Department Registrants, please notify [email protected].

Current Department (DEA) Registrant

Name changes can be done online at the Diversion Control Division website.
If applicable, mail unused DEA Forms 222 to the Minneapolis DEA Office after the new Forms 222 for the new Unit Registrant have been received. In your cover letter, list the unique numbers on the Forms 222 and save a copy of the letter in your controlled substances record.

NOTE: Do not surrender or fail to renew the current DEA Registrant's DEA registration until the new DEA registrant receives their new DEA registration. If the DEA registration for the current DEA registration holder is no longer valid and the new DEA Registrant has not received the new DEA registration, the Department no longer has DEA coverage and research using controlled substances will not be allowed.
