California’s Law Firm Registration and Renewal Process is Now Online
Effective September 1, 2025, the State Bar of California implemented a new online registration and renewal process for all law corporations and partnerships, and has stated that it will not accept paper submissions going forward.
The State Bar now will require all law firms first to register for Agency Billing, their online portal for managing a firm’s registrations and annual renewals with the State Bar. The new registration procedures also require firms to register for Agency Billing as a first step, before being able to apply for certification to practice law in the state.
The State Bar has also issued renewal guides for LLPs and for PCs.
