DEA Fax Number — Registration, Diversion Control, and Form Submissions

The Drug Enforcement Administration handles controlled-substance registration, diversion control, and law-enforcement matters through separate offices, so the destination for a fax depends entirely on which program and form you are dealing with. Registration questions run through the DEA Diversion Control Division, while power-of-attorney records, theft or loss reports, and registrant paperwork each have their own instructions. Rather than reusing an old number, read the submission instructions on the specific DEA form or the official Diversion Control Division contact page, which state the accepted channel for that request. Confirm whether fax, the online portal, or mail is expected before you send, since DEA increasingly directs registrants to online submission.

What You Can Fax to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

  • Controlled-substance registration and renewal paperwork
  • Power-of-attorney forms for ordering controlled substances
  • Theft or significant loss reports of controlled substances
  • DEA Form 106 and related diversion-control filings
  • Registrant correspondence requested by a DEA field office
Tip: Confirm the current fax destination on the official DEA form instructions or the Diversion Control Division contact page before sending, because agency contact points change and the wrong destination can delay a registration. Do not assume fax is required — many DEA submissions are now expected through the online registration system, so check the accepted channel for your form first. Keep the transmission receipt as your record of when and where the document was sent, and include your DEA registration number and a clear cover sheet identifying the submission.

Faxing to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — FAQ

The DEA has moved most registration and renewal activity to its online system, though some forms may list a fax option in their instructions. Check the current instructions for your specific form or the Diversion Control Division contact page to confirm the accepted channel before assuming fax will be processed.

Theft and significant-loss reporting is handled through DEA Form 106 and notification to your local DEA field office, following the submission instructions on the current form. Because reporting timelines are strict, confirm the destination and channel on the official instructions and keep proof of when you submitted.

The correct office depends on your registration location and the type of request, and the DEA Diversion Control Division website lists field-office and program contacts. Match your form to the program that handles it rather than sending everything to one general destination.

A power of attorney authorizing an individual to order controlled substances is generally executed and retained by the registrant, not filed with the DEA unless specifically requested. Follow the instructions accompanying the form, and only transmit it to a DEA office when the request or the form directs you to do so.
