other prerequisites for membership in the State Bar, and been sworn in to the State Bar, but who have
not yet received a State Bar Number, may submit an Application for Admission to the Bar of the Central

determines that a State Bar Number has been issued to the applicant. (If you receive your State Bar

your application with this information and expedite your admission.) Applicants must certify that they
