My State Bar Profile

My State Bar Profile is the online account used to complete several required licensing and compliance tasks. Through My State Bar Profile, attorneys may:

• Complete the attorney annual renewal
• Update their address of record and other required contact information
• Calculate and pay the annual renewal – fee payment
• Submit the annual renewal – Client Trust Account Protection Program (CTAPP) reporting
• Report annual renewal - Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) compliance (if in the current reporting group)
• Report and verify reporting requirements
• Submit pro bono and reduced fee legal services reporting (required beginning in 2026)

Additionally, California Rule of Court 9.9 requires attorneys to use My State Bar Profile to 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.

Updating your address

• 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.

Please go to My State Bar Profile to update your address of record.

California Rule of Court 9.9 makes it a requirement to use My State Bar Profile as the means to report changes to your contact information, as well as to provide and maintain a private email address for State Bar communications.

If you are a first-time user, contact the State Bar at 888-800-3400 for your initial Access Code. Returning users should simply log in to My State Bar Profile with their password and follow the prompts within the section called “Attorney Record.” If you forget your password, click on “Forget your password?” and follow the prompts so that it can be reset. If you have any difficulty, please contact Attorney Regulation.

Please be reminded that California Business & Professions Code Section 6002.1 requires that you maintain a current address with the State Bar of California and notify us of a new address within 30 days of any change. Be aware that as your official address of record it will be subject to public disclosure and will be posted on the State Bar’s website.

Corporations

Please note that online changes through an individual attorney’s My State Bar Profile will not also automatically update our registered law corporation and limited liability partnership records. If you are a shareholder and officer of a law corporation, or an authorized partner in a limited liability partnership, and your individual address change also constitutes a change for the law corporation or LLP, please also send a separate written request via the Licensee Records and Compliance Inquiry form or to the State Bar of California, Law Corporation/LLP Unit, 180 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
