If you simply stop paying annual fees, your license will be suspended. Additionally, notification of retirement is not sufficient to change your status. Please remember that annual license fees are waived for licensees on inactive status who are 70 years of age on March 30 and will continue to be waived for subsequent years, as long as they remain inactive. Resignation, however, should be considered a permanent step, for attorneys who are certain they would not wish to practice law in California again. Re-admission after resignation would require a [reinstatement petition](https://www.statebarcourt.ca.gov/Procedures-Programs-and-Rules/Reinstatement-Proceedings) in the State Bar Court, an expensive and time-consuming process which usually entails re-taking most of the bar exam. If you would like to voluntarily resign, log in to your My State Bar Profile and click the "Voluntary Resignation Form" option under the "Status Changes" menu to access and complete the required form. ![](https://info.calbar.ca.gov/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-11-2025-02-49-47-9618-AM.png?width=670&height=177&name=image-png-Jan-11-2025-02-49-47-9618-AM.png) Questions?
