When to Apply

Manufacturers are facilities that manufacture or package drugs, toilet preparations, dentifrices, or cosmetics in Delaware.

Submit an application for a Pharmacy-Manufacturer license when:

• applying for an initial license.
• re-applying when a previous Delaware license has lapsed and is no longer renewable.
• you need to report that your Delaware-licensed manufacturer:
  • changes ownership (controlling interest), or
  • relocates.

A Pharmacy-Manufacturer permit terminates automatically when the controlling interest in the facility changes, the facility’s legal existence ends, or the business ceases to operate.

ATTACHING AND ACKNOWLEDGING DOCUMENTS

• either “attach” or “upload” the required document(s) directly to your application. This means you will find the document(s) saved on your computer or device and upload it to your application.

• click “acknowledge.”  This means you will either have to mail the documents yourself or request the “third-party” mail the document(s) directly to the Board office.
  • Examples of “third-party forms” are transcripts from schools, employment verifications from a supervisor, and license verifications from another state.
• Forms requiring a supervisor signature, seal, or notary may have to be MAILED to the Board office directly UNLESS the document specifically indicates to UPLOAD the document.

The requirements for this license type are provided in the following section(s).

Requirements

• The results of last GMP inspection if the firm is registered with the Food and Drug Administration or Drug Enforcement Administration.

• A Manufacturer Permit–Information about Ownership Form is required for all of the following reasons:
  • Designated Representative (DR) or most senior person responsible for facility operations, purchasing, and inventory control.
  • Supervisor of the DR or most senior person responsible for facility operations, purchasing and inventory control.

Inspection Requirement

In addition to meeting the requirements above, the facility must be inspected before opening. A representative of the manufacturer must notify the Board office when the facility is ready for inspection. When the facility passes the final inspection, the Board office will issue the license.

Reporting a Manufacturer Name Change

If the facility’s name changes, but there is no change in ownership nor in location, submit a Name Change Service Request in DELPROS. The license number will not change. When completed, you will be notified and you may print the updated license.

Controlled Substances Registration

IMPORTANT: The facility also manufacturers controlled substances, you must submit a separate Controlled Substances – Facility application in the DELPROS online portal.
