When you must apply for a PC
It is therefore a legal requirement for a practising solicitor to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Registrar of Solicitors, on or before 1 February, an online application in the prescribed form correctly completed by the applicant solicitor personally, together with the full appropriate fee. The onus is on each solicitor to ensure that their application form and fee is delivered on or before 1 February.
It is the responsibility of each solicitor to ensure that they log in to the Law Society’s website, make an application for a Practising Certificate and pay the full fees on or before 1 February of each year to ensure they receive a Practising Certificate dated 1 January of that year.
