But because of that instances of confusion in S2 license the new yellow prescription has added an information about the validity of the license. Usually a doctor must apply or renew for his S2 license at the compliance service of PDEA bringing all the required documents. The doctors are given a temporary license which consists of nine alpha-numeral code that can be used for a maximum of three months after the requisition of the ID.
