Certificates of Discipline

Certificates of Discipline are required for each jurisdiction* where you have ever held a license to practice law. The certificate must be an original document dated/issued within 90 days of receipt of your application.

If you are on inactive status, your certificate must include a statement that you voluntarily chose to go inactive, that you were in good standing at the time you went inactive, and that there are or were no disciplinary issues which led to your inactive status.

If you have any pending disciplinary issues, your application will not be processed and your fees are non-refundable.

*NOTE: Even if you have never had any disciplinary issues, you must submit a Certificate of Discipline from each jurisdiction you have ever held a license.

To request a Certificate of Discipline, a contact list is available here.
