In addition to its constitutional mandate as Chief Administrator and Accounting Officer of the Judiciary, the Office of Chief Registrar manages the affairs of Advocates in exercise of powers conferred by the Advocates Act, the Notaries Public Act, and the Oaths & Statutory Declarations Act.
These laws bestow the following functions on the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary:
1. Processing of applications for Admission of Advocates and issuance of Certificates of Admission
2. Issuance of Advocates’ Annual Practising Certificates
3. Processing of applications for appointment of Commissioners for Oaths
4. Processing of applications for appointment of Notaries Public and annual renewal of Notary Public Certificates
5. Authentication of documents signed by Notaries Public
6. Custody & Maintenance of the Roll of Advocates, the Roll of Senior Counsel, the Roll of Commissioners for Oaths and the Roll of Notaries Public
7. Custody & Maintenance of Advocates files
These functions are performed by the Advocates Section which is domiciled in the Office of the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary and is located in Room 61 and 62, 2nd Floor, Supreme Court Building.
Judiciary Advocates Management System
The Advocates Section has automated these services which are now offered through the Judiciary Advocates Management System (JAMS) that went live in 2022. The portal may be accessed through https://jams.court.go.ke/.
If you meet the criteria for a qualified person defined under Section 12 and 13 of the Advocates Act, you may apply to be admitted as an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. The process of admission is governed by Section 15 of the Advocates Act.
Advocates are admitted by the Chief Justice who hears their petition for admission and grants an order admitting the individual as an Advocate. The Chief Justice only grants the order admitting the petitioner as an Advocate upon being satisfied as to the qualifications, service and moral fitness of the petitioner.
The Council of Legal Education (CLE) and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) have the right of audience during the hearing of the petition for admission. Once the order is granted, the individual takes an oath or makes an affirmation as an officer of the Court before the Chief Justice and signs the Roll of Advocates before the Chief Registrar or a Deputy Registrar.
It is an offence to practice law without admission as an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. Members of the public are also advised to seek legal services from persons who are admitted as Advocates. The Law Society of Kenya has a web page (https://online.lsk.or.ke/) where you check whether your advocate is duly admitted and has taken an annual Practicing Certificate.
Qualifications
A person seeking admission to the bar needs to demonstrate their qualifications, service and moral fitness to practice law. Section 12 and 13 of the Advocates Act imposes two sets of qualifications for admission to the Kenyan bar as follows:
a. Citizenship – Admission to the Kenyan bar is only open to citizens of Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania.
b. Academic and professional qualifications – A candidate can petition for admission if s/he possesses any one of the following qualifications:
i. A Certificate of Compliance from the Council of Legal Education together with a Notice in the Kenya Gazette by which CLE confirms that the candidate is qualified for admission – for candidates who obtain their academic qualifications from Kenya (Kenya School of Law training, pupillage and CLE bar exams) subject to any exemptions that may be granted by the Council; or
ii. Admission as an Advocate of the High Court of Uganda or the High Court of Tanzania; or
iii. Admission as an advocate of the superior court of a country within the Commonwealth where the petitioner has practised for not less than five years; and is a member in good standing of the relevant professional body in that country.
*Kindly note that the statutory amendment which allowed Advocates of the High Court of Rwanda and the High Court of Burundi to be admitted to the Kenyan Bar was struck out by the Court of Appeal. As such, citizens / Advocates of the two countries are presently not eligible for admission as Advocates of the High Court of Kenya under Section 13(1)(d). However, Citizens of Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania who are Advocates of the High Court of Rwanda may petition for admission using the window for advocates from commonwealth countries who have practiced for at least five years in that country (Section 13(1)(e)).

One of the functions of the Chief Registrar under Part VII of the Advocates Act is to issue annual Practising Certificates (PC) to Advocates. The PC is to be taken by Advocates on a yearly basis. It authorizes the Advocate to practice law during the year it is issued, and expires on 31st December of that year. However, where an Advocate is truck off the Roll of Advocates, the PC expires immediately the Advocate is struck off the Roll.
It is an offence to practice law without an annual PC. Lack of a valid PC may also invalidate certain documents and transactions conducted by an Advocate. Members of the public are advised to verify the status of advocates using the Law Society of Kenya’s website (https://online.lsk.or.ke/) which indicates whether an advocate has a PC for each year.
Effective January 2023, Advocates are issued digital PCs and members of the public can verify the authenticity of the PC through the Judiciary Advocates Management System (JAMS) accessible through https://jams.court.go.ke/verify-certificate
Fees
The Chief Registrar does not charge any fee for the issuance of annual PCs. However, Advocates are required to demonstrate that they have paid to the Law Society the fee prescribed by the Society for a practising certificate and the annual subscriptions payable to the Society and to the Advocates Benevolent Association. These fees are set by the Law Society and the Advocates Benevolent Association.
Application Process – Ordinary Cases
Section 22 of the Advocates Act provides as follows:
22. Application for and issue of practising certificate
(1) Application for a practising certificate shall be made to the Registrar—
(a) by delivering to him an application in duplicate, signed by the applicant specifying his name and place of business, and the date of his admission as an advocate;
(b) by producing evidence satisfactory to the Registrar that the applicant has paid to the Society the fee prescribed for a practising certificate and the annual subscriptions payable for the time being to the Society and to the Advocates Benevolent Association; and
(c) by producing a written approval signed by the Chairman of the Society stating that there is no objection to the grant of the certificate.
(2) Subject to section 31, the Registrar, if satisfied that the name of the applicant is on the Roll and that he is not for the time being suspended from practice, shall within fourteen days of the receipt by him of the application issue to the applicant a practising certificate.
In practice, the application for an annual PC is made to the Chief Registrar through the Law Society of Kenya using the LSK Portal as follows:
1. Advocate logs into his / her LSK Portal where s/he fills, signs & uploads the Declaration Form and makes payment
2. Upon approval by LSK, the application is transmitted to the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary by LSK
3. Upon verification, the Chief Registrar issues the annual digital PC through the Judiciary Advocates Management System
4. Once issued, the digital PC is automatically e-mailed to the Advocate and is also available for download on the Advocate’s JAMS account under My Certificates tab and on the LSK portal
Application Process – Special Cases
Under Section 25 of the Advocates Act, a special application process is followed where an advocate applies for a practising certificate in any of the following circumstances:
(a) when for twelve months or more the Advocate has ceased to hold a practising certificate;
(b) whilst he is an undischarged bankrupt or a receiving order in bankruptcy is in force against him;
(c) when, having been suspended from practice or having had his name removed from or struck off the Roll, the period of his suspension has expired or his name has been restored to the Roll, as the case may be;
(d) not having held a practising certificate in force within twelve months next following the date of his admission as an advocate;
(e) whilst he is a person to whom the powers and provisions of the Mental Health Act (Cap. 248) relating to management and administration apply;
(f) without having paid a penalty or costs ordered by the Disciplinary Committee to be paid by him;
(g) after having been adjudicated a bankrupt and obtained his discharge or after having entered into a composition with his creditors or a deed of arrangement for the benefit of his creditors;
(h) after having had given against him any judgment which involves the payments of moneys, not being a judgment
i. limited to the payment of costs; or
ii. as to the whole effect of which upon him he is entitled to indemnity or relief from some other person; or
iii. evidence of the satisfaction of which, within seven days of the giving of such judgment, has been produced to the Registrar.
In such cases, the PC application is made in two stages as follows:
1. The Advocate gives the Chief Registrar and the Law Society a notice of his / her intention to apply for a PC. The notice is through a letter and is to be given at least six weeks before the actual application for the PC is made. The Council of the Society makes representations or submits a recommendation to the Chief Registrar with respect to the notice of intention to apply for a PC.
2. If LSK gives its approval, the Advocate submits the PC application using the process for ordinary PC applications explained above.
