How to Apply for a New License for a Pharmacy Located in Delaware

Submit:

• Completed, signed and notarized Application for In-State Pharmacy Licensing.
• Non-refundable processing fee by check or money order made payable to the “State of Delaware.”
• Three sets (copies) of pharmacy department building plans drawn to scale. Plans should include the location of the sink, all doors, storage room, approved schedule II controlled substance safe and security systems. Refer to 24 Del.C. § 2534 and Section 3.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations for specific requirements.
• Sample patient profile that meets the requirements of Section 5.0 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.

Both the pharmacist-in-charge and a member of management must appear for an interview at a regularly scheduled Board of Pharmacy meeting. When the application is complete, the Executive Secretary of the Board will verbally notify the pharmacist-in-charge or member of management when the interview will take place.

During the meeting, the Board reviews the documents submitted and interviews the representatives of the pharmacy present. If the Board tentatively approves the application contingent on the pharmacy passing final inspection, a representative of the pharmacy must notify the Executive Secretary of the Board when the pharmacy is to be inspected. When the pharmacy passes the final inspection, the Board office issues the license.

If controlled substances are involved, you must also submit an application.

Reporting Change of Ownership or Location

When the ownership or physical location of an in-state pharmacy will be changing, you must report the change to the Board office and apply for a new license as far in advance as possible. When a pharmacy will be remodeling, see Pharmacy Remodeling.
