What is the fee for pro hac vice?

There is an annual fee of $200 and an application fee of $75.

For the first pro hac vice filed in a calendar year, submit a total of $275 (annual and application fees), unless you already paid the annual fee for a previous application. For any additional pro hac vice filed in the same calendar year, submit $75 (application fee). You can upload the pro hac vice application and pay the required fee(s) online via credit card.

If you do not wish to submit the application and fee(s) electronically, you can send it via mail. The check or money order should be made payable to the State Bar of Georgia and submitted directly to the State Bar of Georgia with a copy of the application.

Further, for every subsequent year that you remain admitted in any case in Georgia you must submit the annual fee of $200 by Jan. 15. Failure to pay the annual fee by Jan. 15 will result in a late fee of $100. The annual fee and late fee must be paid no later than March 1 of that year.

Every December, the applicant and sponsor will receive the necessary information regarding how to pay the renewal annual fee (and late fee, if applicable) via credit card online.

If you do not wish to submit the renewal annual fee electronically, you can send it via mail. The check or money order should be made payable to the State Bar of Georgia and submitted directly to the State Bar of Georgia. Include the applicant’s name, case caption(s), case number(s) and status of the case(s) in the cover letter.

Failure to pay the annual fee and late fee may result in disciplinary action and the attorney may be subject to prosecution under the unauthorized practice of law statutes of this state. Please review Rule 5.5 (l) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct.
