Form REG3 – notification of intention to apply for a practising certificate or registration

Last updated 14 October 2011

Notify us of your intention to apply

Individuals subject to regulation 3 of the Practising Regulations are required under the regulations to submit their application to renew their practising certificate six weeks in advance of the normal renewal date.

With the move to online applications and processing, the time required to complete this process is significantly reduced. Therefore, we have decided to move the online application date to October.

Since it is the SRA that has taken the decision to move the renewal date for individuals subject to regulation 3, you will not be deemed to be in breach of the Practising Regulations.

Please note that there is no longer a separate regulation 3 application. The relevant questions are now part of the applications listed below:

• renewal of practising certificate,
• renewal of registered foreign lawyer registration,
• renewal of registered European lawyer registration.

In the mean time, please ensure that you have activated your account in mySRA. We will notify you when your renewal application will be ready for completion in October.
