Apply to remain on the roll 2024

Updated 29 May 2024

All solicitors without a practising certificate are required to apply to remain each year if they wish to stay on the roll. The application window is now closed.

This does not apply to solicitors who were admitted after 1 April 2023.

What happens if you did not apply

We will contact solicitors who did not apply to tell them that they will be removed from the roll. If were unable to apply due to exceptional circumstances, you can appeal. This must be done within 28 days of the notice being sent to you.

Your name will be removed from the roll if no appeal is made, or our decision is upheld following a review.

If you are removed, you cannot simply be added back on. Instead, you will need to do our background checks and screening, which cost £34, and then apply to be restored to the roll, which costs £20. Find out more.

Removing yourself from the roll

You can apply to be removed from the roll of solicitors at any time. Find out how.
