Reminder: Mandatory Re-Fingerprinting by April 30, 2019

As we previously announced, all active attorneys licensed in California must be re-fingerprinted by April 30, 2019. Fingerprints must be taken by a licensed Live Scan vendor. Locations for this service can be found here.

Follow the link to find places in your area where Live Scan is available. These locations provide the required service but they do not all charge the same price. For example, you may find that Live Scan at a local police station is available, by appointment, at a nominal fee, whereas the same service at a private establishment will cost much more. The process takes approximately 15 minutes. Be sure to visit http://www.calbar.ca.gov and log into My State Bar Profile for your individual reporting information.To view requirements Click Here.

Failure to timely resubmit your fingerprints will result in monetary penalties (ranging from $75 to $100), and can lead to the Bar changing your status to involuntary inactive.
