DEA Form 225 is used for new registration applications for which of the following?

• A. Narcotic treatment program
• B. Distributor
• C. Domestic chemical business
• D. Retail pharmacy

Answer: (B)

DEA Form 225 is the application used when a new registration is needed for entities that handle controlled substances in manufacturing, distribution, importation, exportation, or research. It specifically covers manufacturers, distributors, importers, exporters, and researchers/laboratories. Narcotic treatment programs are registered on a different form (Form 363), and dispensing sites such as retail pharmacies use Form 224. A generic “domestic chemical business” isn’t a separate DEA registration category, so the best fit among the options is the distributor category.
