State Bar of Michigan License Renewal Final Reminder to Avoid Pre-Suspension Process
According to our records, your 2019-2020 State Bar of Michigan annual disclosures have not been completed and your license renewal fee has not been paid.
In accordance with Supreme Court rules, a $50 late fee will be applied to payments made online after November 30, or postmarked after November 30 if the payment was mailed.
If you believe this notification to be in error, please contact our office at (517) 346-6377.
We are beginning the pre-suspension process for members with non-payment of fees, so it is important to renew your license now.
To complete your annual disclosures and pay online with a debit or credit card, echeck, or by printing a remittance document and mailing a check, start by visiting https://e.michbar.org. You can also visit the State Bar website at michbar.org and click on "Member Area Login."
The license renewal website has been tested with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. It will not work with Internet Explorer.
Once you've logged in, click "Renew Your License Now" found near the bottom of the page.
If you, your firm, or employer will pay by mailing a check, complete your disclosures and other information online and then print a remittance document by clicking on "Mail a Check." If you can't print a remittance document but want to pay by physical check, write your P number on the check and mail to the address provided.
If you need help during any phase of the mandatory disclosure and payment process, please contact our fee processing team at (517) 346-6377.
