Inappropriate Requests for Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Registration Numbers
(Oversight: Council on Veterinary Service and COBTA; Approved by the AVMA Executive Board April 2011)
The AVMA does not condone the use of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Registration number for any purpose other than to provide certification of DEA registration in transactions involving controlled substances (to include obtaining, dispensing, prescribing and administering) as intended by the DEA. The use of the DEA registration number for identification purposes is not appropriate.
