APRNs who have the authority from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to prescribe controlled substances shall submit evidence of the most current DEA certificate to the Board office. Prescriptive authority renewal must be accompanied by evidence of DEA certification, if held.

(6)

APRNs who do not hold DEA certification must verify this to the Board in writing at the time of renewal.

(7)

Submission of an application and fees required by the Board. Fees are nonrefundable.
