A New Jersey C.D.S. registration is issued only for a New Jersey location. Be sure to include a $40.00 check or money order,
payable to “State of New Jersey.” It will take 4-6 weeks to process this application. Your C.D.S. registration will be mailed to
the mailing address on le with your professional licensing board.
Please note:

podiatrists. A mid-level dispenser/prescriber/practitioner includes physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and certied
nurse midwives. Pharmacies must complete a separate application.

association/corporation or partnership information.
