STEP 2: Complete and submit renewal application form and pay application fee
The renewal application form is similar to the new licence application form for the relevant law practice type. Before you begin your application, you may wish to refer to the User Guide and applicable sample forms on the LSRA e-Services portal. Please note that the sample forms are provided for reference only and cannot be used for submission to the LSRA. The application form will be pre-populated with particulars submitted by the law practice entity in previous applications. Please check and update the particulars if necessary. The completed application form must be signed by the Managing Partner / Managing Director / Manager (or equivalent) of the law practice entity. If the law practice entity has a parent law practice, it must also be signed by the Managing Partner / Managing Director (or equivalent) of the parent law practice. The application fee, which is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application, can be found in the First Schedule of the Legal Profession (Law Practice Entities) Rules 2015. The application fee must be paid online using a valid credit/debit card.	Nil.
STEP 3: Receive outcome of application
The estimated processing time is 30 working days. Applications with incomplete supporting documents/information, submitted during the peak period from December to April, and/or that are complex, will take longer to process. Complex applications include those involving concurrent appointments, foreign interests in Singapore law practices and/or collaborations between Singapore law practices and foreign law practice entities. You are therefore advised to apply in good time. The LSRA may seek clarification or further information from the Main Contact for the Application. The LSRA will email you to inform you when the application has been processed.	Nil.
