Bar Photo ID Cards


I checked out the Utah State Bar website and found out that the Bar has moved to a photo- ID card for members of the Utah State Bar. The new photo ID card is now issued as part of the newly admitted attorney process.  The old, non-photo ID cards are being phased out.
You can elect to not have an image on the card but that may impact your ability to access law enforcement areas such as the jails or the use of court access lines that are dedicated to attorneys.

If you want to get a photo ID card, it will cost you FIVE BUCKS ($5) 

You can take care of it in person (it will take about 10 minutes to be completed) :

Utah Law & Justice Center
645 South 200 East
Salt Lake City, Utah 84111
e:
info@utahbar.org
p: 801.531.9077
M-F 8:00 - 5:00, closed for State and Federal holidays.


Or you can do it online:  Photo ID for $5
You will need to fill out a form and submit a photo, then pick up your card.

A lot of the state bars are moving in this direction. 

By the way, some state bars do not charge for cards like this one http://www.jud.ct.gov/attyphoto or this one www.gand.uscourts.gov/bar/attorneyid.php.

And some state bars do not have photo IDs.

As soon as I get my new photo ID card, I will let you know what it looks like.
