Certificates of Completion

New Zealand Law Graduates

To minimize delays in receiving your Certificate of Completion, please apply as soon as possible to the Council of Legal Education as soon as you have all necessary documentation to receive your Certificate of Completion. The application form may be downloaded here.

At the end of your Professional Legal Studies course (profs), you will receive a letter confirming that you have passed the course.

This letter, along with the other documentary evidence required, and the completed application form, should be sent to the Council of Legal Education.

The Council will then prepare your Certificate of Completion for admission.

Overseas Law Graduates and Practitioners

When you have completed all the requirements imposed on you by the Council of Legal Education, you will be entitled to apply for a Completion Certificate.

The application form may be downloaded here.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING COMPLETION CERTIFICATES

Once we have received your application you will receive an email acknowledging receipt. You must allow up to 20 working days for delivery. Please do not telephone or email us within this 20 working day period inquiring about your certificate as this may slow down the processing time for your certificate. We endeavour to provide prompt and quality service; but please note that the application cannot be fast tracked for any reason and you should take this into account when planning your admission date.
