You need a Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) registration if you or your business dispense any CDS. You must already have a New Jersey Board of Pharmacy (BOP) permit before applying for CDS registration.
If your pharmacy is outside New Jersey and you send prescription drugs or devices to patients in New Jersey, you need to register as an out-of-state pharmacy.
Your pharmacy business needs a permit in order to operate. The permit application process includes a site inspection. Once a permit is issued, your pharmacy must open within 90 days and notify the Board of Pharmacy in writing of the date the business opens.
