• DEA registrations typically process within 24-48 hours, but can take up to 2-4 weeks depending on certain variables like whether this is your first DEA, there are any “yes” answers on the background questions, or if the local DEA office is busy. You may call your local DEA office to follow up as well.

• If your DEA has been issued and it is urgent that you get a copy right away instead of waiting for the paper copy to get mailed, you may call the National Headquarters at 1-800-882-9539, and ask that a copy be faxed to you. From that fax, you will be able to print a duplicate copy from the DEA website.
