Reinstatement Application
Instruction sheet
Complete the reinstatement application if your C.D.S. registration has been in expired status for more than 30 days. If your C.D.S.
registration has been in expired status for fewer than 30 days, you can renew online at: https://newjersey.mylicense.com or you can call
973-273-8090 to request a paper renewal application or to get your mylicense password (to renew online).
A New Jersey C.D.S. registration is issued only for a New Jersey location. Be sure to include a check or money order, in the
correct amount, payable to the “State of New Jersey.” It will take 4-6 weeks to process this application. Your C.D.S. registration
will be mailed to the mailing address on le with your professional licensing board.
Please note:
1. A reinstatement application must be completed by any Dispenser/Prescriber/Practitioner or Mid-Level Dispenser/Prescriber/ Practitioner
whose C.D.S. registration has expired or become inactive. An active D.E.A. registration for an address which corresponds with
a New Jersey C.D.S. registration is also required. If your D.E.A. registration has expired or is inactive, contact the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration, 80 Mulberry Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102, (1-888-356-1071) or at www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov.
2. Reinstatement fee: If your C.D.S. registration is in an “inactive” status or it expired within the past 12 months, the Reinstatement/
Renewal fee is $40.00. If it expired more than 12 months ago, you must contact the Drug Control Unit for the correct fee amount.
3. In order to complete the attached application, please note:
a. A dispenser/prescriber/ practitioner includes medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, dentists, optometrists, veterinarians, and
podiatrists. A mid-level dispenser/prescriber/practitioner includes physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and certied

b. Every person or rm handling controlled dangerous substances in New Jersey is required to have both a state and federal
registration for that purpose. Federal facilities do not require registration.
c. The address supplied must be current and an actual location where controlled dangerous substances will be stored, prescribed,
dispensed, etc. The address cannot be solely a post oce box.
d. Dentists and optometrists may only register at an address for which they hold a current registration issued by their board and at
which the C.D.S. registration is required pursuant to 3(c) above.
e. Individual practitioner applicants (medical doctors, dentists, optometrists, veterinarians, etc.) must use their own name, not
professional association/corporation or partnership information.
f. Pharmacies are required to use their common trading name (e.g. David Pharmacy), not a business or corporate name.
g. Dispensers/prescribers/practitioners must have an active and current New Jersey professional license number.
h. Optometrists may prescribe or dispense only Schedule III, IV or V controlled dangerous substances.
