Mandatory Online Licensing
The annual online licensing renewal process will begin the week of June 7, 2021, at which time you will receive an email outlining renewal instructions. This email will be sent to your email address of record. Utah Supreme Court Rule 14-107 requires lawyers to provide their current email address to the Bar. If you need to update your email address of record, please contact onlineservices@utahbar.org.
Renewing your license online is simple and efficient, taking only about five minutes. With the online system you will be able to verify and update your unique licensure information, join sections and specialty bars, answer a few questions, and pay all fees.
No separate licensing form will be sent in the mail. You will be asked to certify that you are the licensee identified in the renewal system. Therefore, this process should only be completed by the individual licensee, not by a secretary, office manager, or other representative. Upon completion of the renewal process, you will receive a licensing confirmation email. If you do not receive the confirmation email in a timely manner, please contact licensing@utahbar.org.
License renewal and fees are due July 1 and will be late August 1. If renewal is not complete and payment is not received by September 1, your license will be suspended.
