Mandatory Online Licensing

The Bar’s licensing renewal period begins on Monday, June 1st. To ensure a smooth and efficient renewal process, please take a few minutes to complete the following:

Verify your email address. Confirm that your preferred email address on file is current and accurate. Important notices, confirmations, and renewal-related communications are sent via email.
Add a back up email address. You may want to consider providing a secondary email address which allows for back up communication in case you lose access to your preferred email. If you are currently using a law school email, please add a backup address as your school account may become inactive.
Allow Bar emails. Add licensing@utahbar.org to your safe senders list so you receive all renewal notifications and account recovery messages.

Please log in to your online practice portal to confirm your preferred email address and to make any necessary updates or additions to your contact information.

License renewal and fees are due July 1 and will be late August 1. If renewal is not complete and payment is not received by September 1, your license will be suspended.
