by providing the check number and date of the check.

to pay the fee again.
o If the clerk fails to collect the $25 fee for the State Bar, a check or money order for
$25, payable to the North Carolina State Bar, must be submitted to the State Bar with
this registration form.

responsible attorney, however, the North Carolina responsible attorney does not owe
this money and, if unwilling to advance the funds and unable to confirm payment or
obtain payment from the out of state attorney, should notify the State Bar.
