Renewing your Practising Certificate

Practising Certificates must be renewed annually. The annual lodgement date prescribed by the Legal Profession Act 2004 is 15 May.

Renewal forms are forwarded to all current holders of Practising Certificates in April. The completed form should be returned to the Law Society Registry together with payment of fees.

If your Practising Certificate has lapsed

You will need to apply for a Practising Certificate by completing and returning the Application form for a Practising Certificate together with payment of fees.

If less than five years have passed since you held a Practising Certificate, you will be eligible to be issued with the same type of Practising Certificate you held previously.

If more than five years have passed since you held a Practising Certificate, your application will be considered by the Licensing Committee to determine the conditions on the practising certificate. A period of supervised legal practice may be re-imposed on your Practising Certificate.
