Washington Bar Reciprocity
Washington APR 3(c) governs Admission by Motion. Washington does not publish a reciprocal list. Applicants must have been engaged in the active practice of law for one of the past three years after admission elsewhere and must complete the Washington Law Component (WLC).
Admission by Motion (Criteria-Based)
Attorneys from any qualifying U.S. jurisdiction may seek APR 3(c) admission if they meet the rule. Because eligibility is criteria-based rather than list-based, this page does not include a YES/NO reciprocity map.
