Lawyer Verification - 5-Step Process

The 5 Verification Steps​

Step 1 - Regulatory Registration​

Enter your registration number. The system attempts auto-verification:

  • BSB number (5–6 digits): Instant BSB Barristers' Register lookup
  • US state bar (CA/NY/TX/FL/IL): State bar API lookup
  • All others: Manual review queue (1 business day)

If auto-verification succeeds, you see "Registration Verified" immediately.

Step 2 - Practising Certificate​

Upload your current practising certificate (PDF or JPG, max 10MB). Admin reviews within 1–2 business days.

Step 3 - Photo ID​

Upload a government-issued photo ID (passport preferred). Admin reviews within 1–2 business days.
