Payments

A new payment system was introduced in 2024 to streamline the process of making payments to the Law Society, offering greater efficiency for both you and your employer. The experience for card payments should be very similar but this included important changes for users paying by EFT.

Faster, secure EFT payments

Each solicitor and firm has a unique Virtual International Bank Account Number (IBAN) to use when making an EFT payment for your Practising Certificate (PC). This will be displayed on your EFT form as part of the online PC renewal process, and in the Firm Admin area for group PC payments.

By using the right Virtual IBAN, you can ensure that your payments are processed more efficiently.

Do I need to update Law Society bank details?

If you have previously made an EFT payment to the Law Society, you will need to update the IBAN and BIC that you saved in your online banking service and replace it with the VBAN allocated to you. You can access your VBAN via your Solicitor Portal on lawsociety.ie after you log in. For making payments for practising certificates, please use the VBAN for Society/Regulation.

It helps businesses and organisations to manage different types of payments by assigning separate virtual numbers for specific purposes, like education fees or membership payments.
