Which DEA Form is used to renew a DEA registration?

The DEA Form 224a is specifically designed for the renewal of a DEA registration. When a pharmacy, practitioner, or any entity needing to handle controlled substances aims to maintain their registration status, they must use this form. The renewal process ensures that registrants continue to meet the regulatory requirements and are abiding by the laws pertaining to the dispensing or handling of controlled substances.

This renewal form is separate from other forms, such as Form 222, which is used for ordering controlled substances, or Form 301, which pertains to research applications. Form 302 does not relate to registration but rather to specific aspects of regulatory compliance. Understanding the purpose of each form is crucial for proper compliance with DEA regulations.
