[Law Corp & LLP - Reporting a Closure](https://info.calbar.ca.gov/knowledge/en/law-corp-llp-reporting-a-closure?hsLang=en) # Law Corporation - Submitting a Revocation Notice ## This article provides a step-by-step guide on how a Law Corporation can terminate its Certificate of Registration. A Law Corporation can voluntarily terminate its registration by submitting a resolution requesting termination to the State Bar (Rule 3.159). The effective date of the termination may be the date of the resolution, a later date requested by the Law Corporation, or an earlier date determined at the discretion of the State Bar. Depending on when the closure occurred, the process for terminating a Certificate of Registration differs. Review the instruction below based on when the closure date.   - **Law Corporations (LCs) without an Agency Billing application record (meaning the last renewal application was submitted prior to August 2025),** should submit the appropriate revocation notice form and submit the completed form in a [**Licensee Records and Compliance Inquiry form**](https://share.hsforms.com/1rxD0lFL6QhaRZJPYzKoXAwd62wt). The closure should have occurred before August 1, 2025. - Solo Shareholder: [Solo Shareholder Revocation Notice Form](https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.calbar.ca.gov%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fportals%2F0%2Fdocuments%2Flawcorp%2FLawCorp-Revocation-soleshareholder_r.pdf&data=05%7C02%7CAmber.Hilliker%40calbar.ca.gov%7Cdafaea2dfd954cca81ff08df3ec380b3%7C25577ba53ebd4ec590d70e8148a8318a%7C0%7C0%7C639298681528969129%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=YzwDuou%2BaZlbGgW6MEeurkX3hPqimO2WAKbWevpmuds%3D&reserved=0) - 2 or more Shareholders: [2 or more Shareholders Revocation Form](https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.calbar.ca.gov%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fportals%2F0%2Fdocuments%2Flawcorp%2FLawCorp_Revocation-2-or-More_r.pdf&data=05%7C02%7CAmber.Hilliker%40calbar.ca.gov%7Cdafaea2dfd954cca81ff08df3ec380b3%7C25577ba53ebd4ec590d70e8148a8318a%7C0%7C0%7C639298681528950795%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=k1pa%2FHgQxJ0yWytT4e1h1gFtyNYUhcEAI9vYDz%2Fiy5o%3D&reserved=0)  The remaining instructions in this guide apply only to closures that occurred on or after August 2025.  - **LCs with an Agency Billing application record/account,** a revocation notice must be submitted in the Agency billing platform. Revocation Notice submissions using outdated forms or mailed/emailed documents will **not** be accepted. Review the guide below to submit a revocation notice in Agency Billing. ### **Steps to Submitting a Revocation Notice in Agency Billing** To submit a revocation notice, log in to the Agency Billing account for the associated LC reporting a closure. If an account already exists, **do not create a duplicate**, as duplicate accounts creates an error when attempting to complete the revocation application. Depending on when within the renewal cycle the LC ceased practice, the instructions may vary. - If the LC **ceased practice before** the start of the current renewal cycle (**August 3, 2026**), see instructions titled “**Submitting a Revocation Notice for a Closure that Occurred Before August 3, 2026."** - If the Law Corp. **ceased practice on or after** the start of the current renewal cycle (**August 3, 2026**),see instructions titled “**Submitting a Revocation Notice for a Closure that Occurred on or After August 3, 2026.**” Once logged into Agency Billing, follow the steps below that aligns to the LC's closure date. ### Submitting a Revocation Notice for a Closure that Occurred Before August 3, 2026 If reporting a **closure that occurred** **before the start of the 2026 Renewal Cycle**, the LC is not required to submit a 2026 Renewal Application. Instead, the closure can be reported within the renewal application by answering “yes” to the closure question within the Revocation segment.
