Certificate Request Form
Instructions for Requesting a Certificate of Standing
Regular Certificates – Requests for regular certificates must be made in writing. For a fee of $25,
you may request a maximum of 3 certificates per member (See form for details). Please include the
bar number to ensure the certificate is for the correct person. The certificate cannot be faxed, but
will be mailed within 5 working days of receipt of the request.
Certificate includes – Full name, date of admission, name changes (if any), changes of status
(Inactive, Not Eligible, etc.), and discipline (if any).
Complaint Check Certificates – If you are applying for admission to another state, you may be
asked to provide information as to whether or not complaints or grievances have been filed against
you. These certificates may only be sent directly to the state supreme court or state bar of
the other state. They cannot be sent to the member or to any other individual or
organization.
To obtain a COMPLAINT CHECK CERTIFICATE, send a certificate request form and a check for
$25 to the Member Services Center. The request must include the signature of the member
authorizing the release of such information, and the address of the state supreme court or state bar
that will be receiving the certificate.
Foreign Jurisdictions – If you need a certificate that is also notarized for admission in another
country, send the certificate request form and fee, and include the information that it must be
notarized. Include a contact phone number so that we can make the necessary arrangements.
You are responsible for payment of notary fees. You should include a money order in the amount
of $10 for each certificate to be notarized, made payable to “The UPS Store”, or your credit card will
be charged. Please allow for extra processing time for Foreign Jurisdiction Certificates to be
notarized.
California Supreme Court Certificate – Some jurisdictions (the U.S. Supreme Court) require a
certificate from the California Supreme Court. These may be obtained from the court with a written
request and a fee of $1. Send your request, payment and self-addressed envelope to:
California Supreme Court
350 McAllister St., Room 1295
San Francisco, CA 94102
