Proper Application Filing Process
For your application to be properly filed, you must submit the electronic application, prescribed filing fee and authorization and release form by the
proper filing deadline. If you fail to complete the Filing Process within six months of submission of the electronic application, you will be required to submit an entirely new application as if applying for the first time.
1. Application - Complete and submit the electronic portion of your application. Do not submit the electronic application in paper form.
2. Filing Fee - Pay the prescribed filing fee, either by credit card, debit card, or send a money order, cashier's check, corporate
check or law firm check made payable to "Clerk of the Supreme Court." Print your name on the check exactly as it appears
in the application in order to ensure proper credit. Unacceptable forms of payment include cash, personal checks and traveler's checks. All
fees are non-refundable.
3. Authorization and Release form - Print the A&R form and sign it in the presence of a notary. The properly signed and notarized A&R must be postmarked no later than the final filing deadline for the exam. Your application will not be accepted for filing until a signed and notarized A&R is received subject to the late filing fees as outlined in the fee schedule.
Once you have submitted your application electronically, you may also upload the signed and notarized Authorization and Release form, in PDF, by clicking on the "Upload New Document" button located in the bottom right corner of your user home page.
