STEP 2: Update particulars or request re-issuance of CoR
|
|
- Under the Legal Profession (Regulated Individuals) Rules 2015, the particulars of a registered individual should be updated as soon as practicable, in any event within 7 days of any changes.
- The update application form is similar to the new registration application form. Before completing the application form, 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 completed application form must be signed by the Registrant and the Managing Partner / Managing Director or Partner / Director (or equivalent) with the requisite authority of the applicant law practice entity.
- No fees will be charged for any updates, unless the re-issuance of the Certificate of Registration ("CoR") is required (e.g. when there is a change in the individual's name).

STEP 3: Receive outcome of update and/or re-issued CoR

- 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 will seek clarification or further information from the Main Contact for the Application.
- If a re-issuance of the CoR is requested, a copy of the CoR will be emailed to the Main Contact for the Application. The CoR can also be downloaded from myDashboard by logging in to LSRA e-Services.
