Section 130. Certificates of good standing

Part IV. Attachments Required of Some Applicants

Any applicant for a Virginia bar examination who has been admitted to the bar of another jurisdiction must attach to his application for examination a certificate of good standing from a judge or the clerk of the court of last resort of each such jurisdiction. Such certificate must be an original document and dated within one year of the filing deadline for such examination. If an applicant has ever applied for admission, by examination or otherwise, to any jurisdiction and was not admitted thereto, he must file with his application a statement listing each such jurisdiction and the date of application, and stating the reason the applicant was not admitted. No applicant who is, at the time of filing his application or subsequently, under disbarment or suspension in any jurisdiction, shall be eligible to take the Virginia bar examination.
