Solicitors Applying For a Certificate
Solicitors' requests for certificates are processed differently to normal applications.
For solicitors' the Registry requires a letter on company letterhead stating the reason the certificate is required (“legal” is not sufficient, a specific reason is required i.e. Probate, Estate Administration), together with the name of the client for whom the solicitor is acting.
The letter must also be accompanied by:
1. a completed application form, and
2. a photocopy of your Law Society ID Card or Practising Certificate.
The name of the solicitor handling the enquiry should be written in the Applicant's Details section. Payment must be made with a company or trust cheque, or company credit card.
