The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) on Wednesday, May 3, reminded the 3,992 new lawyers to register with it.
The new lawyers, who passed the 2022 online Bar examinations, took their oath and signed the Roll of Attorneys last Tuesday, May 2.
“To our new lawyers who were not able to register with the IBP after their Roll signing, please proceed to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines- National Office for encoding and registration,” said the IBP in its social media post.
It said the new lawyer need to bring their Lawyer Registration Card and Certificate of Membership.
However, it said, that for those who submitted their Lawyer Registration Card during the signing of the Roll of Attorneys need not go to the IBP’s national office but must email their Certificate of Membership to ibp.membership@gmail.com
It emphasized that “registration with the IBP is prerequisite to be able to pay your membership dues online,” it also said.
The IBP, which was formed in 1970, is the official national organization of lawyers in the country.
