Most practitioners have one registration at their primary Missouri practice location where patient care occurs and controlled substance activities take place. Although they have one primary registered location, they may travel and prescribe at other places. A separate registration is required at each separate location where controlled substances are stocked and stored. Multiple registrations are required if a practitioner stocks controlled substances in multiple locations.

Separate registrations may be needed for separate activities. The primary registration will allow a practitioner to purchase, stock, dispense, prescribe and administer. Separate registrations are required to perform research, import, export, manufacture or distribute.
