Annual Enrollment Fee

Enrollment fee statements are mailed the first week of December for enrollment fees due January 31. Payments must be postmarked on or before January 31. Payments not timely made incur a penalty (Rule 6.01(g)) and the automatic suspension of the lawyer’s license (Rule 6.01(f)). Payments can be made with credit card, cash, check or money order. Credit cards are accepted only online by using the "Pay Fees" link in the upper right-hand corner of The Missouri Bar's home page. Payments made by cash, check or money order should be sent with the enrollment fee statement to the Clerk of the Supreme Court at Post Office Box 150, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102.

For payments postmarked after January 31, see the penalty chart below to calculate the appropriate penalty amount to be added to the fee.
