COVID-19 Impact on Member Service Operations
Acting with an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our staff, District of Columbia Bar Headquarters remains closed. Staff are working remotely during this time and continue to provide service to members.
At this time, the D.C. Bar is only able to accept requests for electronic Certificates of Good Standing and has suspended production of all printed Certificate orders. Orders for the electronic delivery Certificate should still be placed online by logging into your member account. Electronic delivery orders are automatically generated and sent in PDF format via email within minutes. If you are unable to print your certificate, please contact member services.
Online orders are also now available for the Certificate Concerning Discipline.
Please do not mail any membership related requests or payments to D.C. Bar Headquarters. We encourage you to utilize the forms provided below for reinstatements or other status changes, as well as the services available within your online member account to manage your membership record. Requests/payments mailed to D.C. Bar Headquarters will not be processed until normal operations resume, which may impact your membership status.
If you require assistance logging into your account or have any questions, contact Member Services via email to [email protected] or call .
We value your membership and thank you for your understanding.
