About Your State Bar Profile

Attorneys may complete several tasks the State Bar requires of all licensees by creating a private account online. It’s called My State Bar Profile, and it must be used to:

• Complete annual license renewal
• Update your address of record
• Calculate and pay annual license fees
• Report Client Trust Account Protection Program Information (including IOLTA)
• Report Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) compliance
• Report and verify reporting requirements
• Complete an annual self-assessment of client trust account management practices (questions previewed here)

Additionally, California Rule of Court 9.9 requires attorneys to use My State Bar Profile to report changes to contact information and provide a private email address for State Bar communications. California Business and Professions Code Section 6002.1 requires that you maintain a current address with the State Bar and notify the State Bar of a new mailing address within 30 days of a change.

If you are a first-time user, contact us at 888-800-3400 to get an access code to create your account. If you already have an account but forgot your password, click on "forgot password?" and follow the prompts to reset it.

Important notes

• Your official address of record is subject to public disclosure and will be posted on the State Bar website.
• If you have privacy concerns, you may use a P.O. Box as your address of record.
• Changes to an individual attorney’s contact information will not automatically update contact information for registered law corporations and limited liability partnerships with which they are associated, and vice versa.
