You need a certificate of authorization to open a business that offers landscape architecture services.

You need a local anesthesia permit to give local anesthetic injections as a dental hygienist in New Jersey.

You need a license to own and/or operate a new or existing rooming or boarding house.

You need a Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) registration if you manufacture, repackage, label, or buy and sell any products containing CDS. Follow these steps to apply:

1. Email the NJ Drug Control Unit (DCU) at cds@dca.njoag.gov to request the CDS registration application for Manufacturers or Wholesalers/Distributors.
2. After your completed application has been emailed to the DCU, they will email you an invoice to pay your fees online.
3. Be sure to register with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to validate your CDS registration. You will need your CDS number for this process. Email a copy of your DEA registration to the DCU within 60 days.
