Pennsylvania attorney ID lookup.
To verify a Pennsylvania lawyer, use the Disciplinary Board’s Look Up an Attorney tool. This page explains the search fields and the Board’s stated limit on older discipline records.
Use the official register for the answer: the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania record is authoritative, and this page cannot confirm anyone’s licence or standing. Open the register below, compare the details with the person who contacted you, and confirm with the regulator if anything does not match.
How the PA register is searched and what it shows
How the register is searched:
- The tool can be searched by last name, first name, ID number, city or county.
What the regulator says it shows:
- The Board describes the tool as showing each attorney’s contact information and disciplinary history.
Verify a lawyer in Pennsylvania
The register belongs to the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Open it, search for the person, and treat its record as the authoritative answer.
The attorney id number in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania calls it the attorney ID number, and the Board’s complaint form also asks for it. The pages reviewed state no fixed digit length.
Where to find discipline records
Discipline appears in the lookup result. The Board’s Recent Cases page lists recent orders and can be narrowed by name, ID number, county, docket and action. Some discipline documents are online; others can be requested from the Board’s Executive Office.
Limits to keep in mind
- The Board states that disciplinary history may not be electronically available for discipline prior to 2003, and says to contact its Executive Office to ask about a specific attorney.
- Copy fees for discipline documents are stated differently on different Board pages, so confirm the current charge with the Board.
This page does not validate a number’s format or check a number against any list; only the official register can do that.
