Search 433,923 New York attorney registrations, 286,911 of them currently registered, from the court system’s register file of Sep 29, 2026. Each result gives the registration status in plain words and what it means; the official confirmation of standing comes from the Attorney Registration Unit.

What you can search

A registration number opens that record. A surname, or a first name and surname, lists the matching registrations, currently registered first, and the list can be narrowed by office, status and admission year. A firm or a law school with enough New York registrations appears beside the people.

Two people can share a name: check the registration number and the admission year before relying on a record. A lawyer admitted only in another state is not on this register; each state keeps its own.
