What is the required frequency and fee for attorney registration?

• A. Every two years, with a $375 registration fee.
• B. Annually, with a $500 registration fee.
• C. Every three years, with a $200 registration fee.
• D. Every five years, with a $375 registration fee.

Answer: (A)

In New York, attorney registration is handled on a two-year cycle with a set fee of $375. This biennial schedule keeps the attorney roster current and funds the court system’s processes for registration and professional discipline. Missing the registration deadline can lead to penalties and could temporarily affect the ability to practice until you’re registered. Other frequencies and different fees don’t match the actual rule, which is two years and $375.
