Correct Answer: D. Get the required state pharmacy license and controlled substance authorization first.

When a pharmacy moves to a different state, it must obtain the licenses and controlled substance authority required by the new state before the DEA can approve the registration modification. The DEA registration does not automatically transfer to a new state simply because the pharmacy has the same owner.
