Do I have to renew my controlled substance (CS) license if I am not currently living in Michigan and my professional license is active? Can I renew the CS license later if I move back to Michigan?

You do not have to renew your controlled substance license unless you are currently prescribing or dispensing controlled substances in Michigan. You can get your controlled substance license reinstated at a later time as long as your professional license is active in Michigan. You would do this by submitting a Controlled Substance Application that we would mail to you upon request or you can download the form. You can find a controlled substance application to download in the application packets provided for your profession under the "Forms and Applications" section.
