What should you do if you make a mistake on a DEA 222 form?

• A. Void it, start a new form
• B. Correct the mistake on the form
• C. Continue using the messed form
• D. Contact the DEA for guidance before proceeding

Answer: (A)

When a mistake is made on a DEA Form 222, you don’t correct it on that form. The proper action is to void the form and issue a new one with the correct information. Void the form by marking all copies as “void” and keep the voided version for your records, then fill out a fresh Form 222 and have the supplier process it. This creates a clear, auditable trail and prevents any issues from using an altered document.
