DEA Registration

You will need a Wyoming address on your DEA license. This is not a prerequisite for your APRN license to be granted, but you will need to register your DEA license in Wyoming prior to starting work in the state in order to prescribe legally.

There are two ways to ensure you have a DEA license registered in the state you will work in. Some providers decide to purchase an additional DEA license to devote to locums work, but most choose to simply transfer their existing DEA license to Wyoming immediately prior to their assignment starting. Whichever path you choose, you can apply for a new license or make changes to your existing DEA registration at the DEA website.

Keep in mind if you choose to transfer your existing DEA license to a new state, the process can take up to 5 business days so you must account for that transition time.
