What does a “compliance pending” status mean?
Compliance pending status means the active attorney will not be penalized because the State Bar received evidence the attorney attempted to comply with the Fingerprinting Rule Requirements. However, the fingerprints have not been successfully processed by both the DOJ and FBI. The attorney may be asked to re-submit fingerprints if the State Bar does not receive confirmation the fingerprints were processed successfully by the DOJ/FBI.
