Bar License Renewal Process Goes Online

March 15, 2020

In line with its efforts to become more environmentally friendly, the D.C. Bar will no longer mail paper invoices for the collection of license fees for fiscal year 2020–2021. Bar members will receive all annual license fee notices by email only.

The license renewal period begins May 1 and ends July 1, 2020.
