Credit card (VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express).

Firm administrator payment on-line.

It is recommended that law firms pay online by using the firm administrator option on the online registration. When the firm administrator payment option is selected the system will request a firm administrator's email address be entered. Notification is then sent by email to the firm administrator of the pending attorney(s) requesting payment. A firm can only use this option for the attorney(s) that select this payment option and provide the necessary information.

Attorneys on inactive status must complete the registration and pay the fee. Inactive attorneys 65 years or older must file a registration statement but they do not pay any registration fees. If the attorney wants to become active, they will need to contact our office for a status change.

All active attorneys, regardless of age, pay the current active fees. Inactive attorneys are exempt from paying inactive registration fees the calendar year in which they turn 65 (even if you are not yet 65 at the time of registration).
