What happens if I do not pay my Bar License Fee

A late fee of $75 is assessed after Aug. 1 and you are ineligible to practice after Sept. 1. Another late fee of $100 is assessed after January 1 (Total Late Fee $175). After the second year of unpaid status, your membership status is changed to administratively suspended. Your membership will remain as administratively suspended for a five-year period starting after the first year that you did not pay your annual license fee. During this five-year period, you may reinstate by being recertified thru the Fitness process with Bar Admissions, completing several administrative requirements and paying additional penalty fees, license fees and late fees. After the five-year period, you will be required to retake the Bar Exam to be readmitted.
