The Massachusetts Pro Hac Vice Verified Statement is the Registration Statement for Pro Hac Vice Attorneys that an out-of-state lawyer files with the Board of Bar Overseers before a Massachusetts court can let them appear in a single case. It records your payment of the per-case fee, lists every jurisdiction where you hold a license, and certifies under oath that you are in good standing everywhere you practice.
This form is not the thing that admits you. It is the receipt and sworn statement that you must have in hand before your local Massachusetts counsel files the actual motion for admission under the rules described in SJC Rule 3:15. Get one box wrong and the Board mails the form back, your fee sits unprocessed, and the judge has nothing to confirm at your hearing. Since the rule took effect on September 4, 2012, every pro hac vice motion in the Commonwealth has needed this paid acknowledgement, and the Board returns any form that is handwritten, scanned, annotated, or otherwise changed.
Here is what you will learn:
- 📝 How to fill out every box on the BBO Registration Statement the right way
- 💵 How the $355 and $101 fees work and when they are waived
- ⚖️ How the statement connects to the court motion under G.L. c. 221, §46A
- 🧾 Three full filled-out examples using real-world scenarios
- 🚫 The exact mistakes that get your form mailed back to you
What the Form Is and Who Must File It
The Registration Statement for Pro Hac Vice Attorneys is a one-page sworn form (with a second page for extra jurisdictions) issued by the Board of Bar Overseers of the Supreme Judicial Court. Pro hac vice is Latin for “for this occasion.” It means a lawyer who is not a member of the Massachusetts bar asks a court for permission to handle one specific case in the Commonwealth. The verified statement is how the BBO confirms you paid the required fee and swore to your good standing.
Every attorney who is not admitted in Massachusetts and who wants to appear in a Massachusetts state court case must file this form. Only individual lawyers may seek admission, never a law firm. You file the statement with the BBO, but the court where your case sits is the body that actually grants or denies your appearance under SJC Rule 3:15 and the older authority in G.L. c. 221, §46A.
The statute, the rule, the agency, and the deadline all work together. The statute (G.L. c. 221, §46A) gives a court the power to let an out-of-state lawyer practice for one case. The court rule (SJC Rule 3:15) adds a per-case fee that funds the IOLTA Committee, which supports legal aid. The agency (the BBO) collects that fee and issues the acknowledgement. The deadline is practical, not a calendar date: the fee must reach the BBO before your local counsel moves your admission in court. Miss that order of operations and the motion has no proof of payment to rest on, so the judge can hold or deny it.
This form lives in the Massachusetts state court system. It does not cover federal court. If you want to appear in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, that court uses its own Local Rule 83.5.3 process, a separate fee, and its own electronic filing. Filing the BBO statement does not get you into federal court, and a federal pro hac vice order does not get you into state court.
Before You Start: Documents and Information You Need
Gather everything below before you open the fillable form on the BBO website. The form is short, but each blank ties to a record you must have in front of you. If any item is missing, you risk an error that sends the whole package back.
- Your full legal name with suffix. The form asks for First, MI, Last, Suffix. A name that does not match your bar records can slow confirmation.
- A working email address. The Board emails your fee confirmation here within seven days, so a typo means no proof of payment arrives.
- Your complete business mailing address and phone. The Board uses this to reach you and to mail the form back if something is wrong.
- The exact name of the court where admission is sought. The fee amount depends on which court it is, so this drives your payment.
- A contact phone number for that court. The form has a dedicated line for it, and leaving it blank looks incomplete.
- The name of the party you will represent. This ties your limited practice to one client in one case.
- The docket number of the case, if available. This lets the Board match its acknowledgement to your matter.
- A full list of every jurisdiction where you are licensed, with the type and license number for each. You swear you are in good standing in all of them, so leaving one off is a false oath.
- Your check or money order for the correct fee, unless you qualify for the indigent-client waiver. Online payment is not offered.
Why each one matters is simple: this is a sworn document. A wrong court name changes your fee. A missing jurisdiction breaks your perjury certification. A bad email means you never receive the acknowledgement your local counsel must attach to the motion. Treat the gathering step as the part where mistakes are cheap to fix, because once the form is mailed, fixing them costs you days.
Where to Get the Form and How to Access It
You must download the form from the official Board of Bar Overseers site. Go to the BBO Attorney Registration page and open the Pro Hac Vice Form link. This is the only version the Board accepts. Do not reuse a copy a colleague emailed you last year, and do not pull one from a random legal-forms website.
The Board is strict about the source. Its own FAQ states in capital letters that only this form, filled out on the website, will be accepted, and that handwritten, annotated, scanned, or otherwise modified forms will be returned. That means you type your answers into the fillable PDF on screen, then print it. You do not print a blank form and write on it by hand.
The form does not show a printed revision date on its face. Because of that, the safe move is to download a fresh copy each time you file rather than relying on a saved version. A stale or altered file is exactly the kind of “modified form” the Board sends back, and a returned form costs you the days you may not have before a hearing.
After you type your entries, you print the completed form, sign it in ink, and mail it with your payment. There is no online submission portal for this statement. The whole process is download, type, print, sign, and mail.
Step-by-Step: How to Fill Out the Pro Hac Vice Registration Statement Line by Line
Work through the form in the order the fields appear. Each box below uses the exact label printed on the official statement. Type every answer; never handwrite.
1. Attorney Name (First, MI, Last, Suffix)
This field asks for your full legal name as a licensed attorney, broken into first name, middle initial, last name, and any suffix. Type it in plain text, matching the name on your bar records in your home state. For example, attorney Daniel R. Okafor Jr. types Daniel in first, R as the middle initial, Okafor in last, and Jr. in the suffix box.
If you go by a professional name that differs from your bar-admission name, use the name on your license, not your nickname, because the Board and the court tie this filing to your official record. A common mistake here is entering a married or shortened name that does not match your home-state registration, which can stall the confirmation while staff try to match you. People often think this box is just a label, but it is part of a sworn statement, so the name you give is the identity you are swearing under oath.
2. Email Address
This field asks where the Board should send your fee confirmation. Type one current, working email you check often. For example, dokafor@okaforlaw.com. The Board emails your acknowledgement to this address within seven days of receiving your payment.
If you want the confirmation to also reach your Massachusetts local counsel, you can use a shared or monitored inbox, but list only one address in the box. The most common mistake is a typo in the domain, which means the confirmation never lands, and without that confirmation your local counsel has nothing to attach to the motion. Many filers assume the Board will call if the email bounces; it does not, so a wrong address can silently stall your admission.
3. Complete Business/Mailing Address
This field asks for the full physical mailing address of your law office. Type the street number, street, suite, city, state, and ZIP. For example, 225 Liberty Street, Suite 1400, New York, NY 10281. This is where the Board mails the form if it must return it to you.
If your firm uses a P.O. Box for mail, you can list it, but include a physical suite or floor when one exists so nothing is lost. A common mistake is giving an address tied to the case rather than to you, which separates you from your own filing and slows any return mail. Some filers think this address must be in Massachusetts; it does not have to be, because the whole point of the form is that you practice out of state.
4. Business Phone Number
This field asks for the direct phone line for your practice. Type it with area code. For example, (212) 555-0173. The Board uses it as a backup way to reach you about your registration.
If you work from a firm with a main switchboard, list a number where staff can route a call to you or your assistant, not a general line that dead-ends. The common mistake is leaving this blank because email feels like enough, but a blank field makes the form look incomplete and invites a return. People assume the Board prefers email only; in practice a reachable phone number speeds up any question about your fee or jurisdictions.
5. Court in Which Pro Hac Vice Admission Is Sought
This field asks for the exact Massachusetts court where your case sits. Type the full court name, not an abbreviation. For example, Suffolk County Superior Court or Massachusetts Appeals Court. This entry decides your fee amount, so it is one of the most important boxes on the form.
The court you name sets your fee: it is $355 for the Superior Court, the Land Court, or any appellate court, and $101 for any other court. If you write the wrong court, you can pay the wrong fee, and the Board will not match your payment to the right matter. A frequent mistake is naming the county only (“Suffolk”) without the court level, which leaves the fee ambiguous. Some filers think the Board chooses the court for them; it does not, because the Board only collects the fee tied to the court you name.
6. Contact Number for Court
This field asks for the clerk or court phone number tied to your case. Type the main line for that court or session. For example, the clerk’s office number for the Suffolk County Superior Court Civil Clerk. It helps the Board verify the court when needed.
If you do not know the exact session line, the general clerk’s office number for that court is fine. The common mistake is copying your own office number into this box by accident, which gives the Board two phone fields that point to you and none that point to the court. Filers sometimes leave it blank thinking it is optional; treating any printed field as optional is what gets forms flagged as incomplete.
7. Party to Be Represented
This field asks for the name of the client you will represent in the case. Type the party’s full name as it appears in the caption. For example, Coastal Freight Logistics, Inc. or an individual like Marcus Bell. Your pro hac vice practice is limited to representing this party in this one case.
If you represent more than one party in the same case, list each one so the scope of your appearance is clear. The common mistake is entering the opposing party or the case name instead of your own client, which misstates who you actually represent. People often think they can later add clients in other matters under the same form; they cannot, because the certification ties you to the single case you name here.
8. Docket Number of Case (If Available)
This field asks for the court docket or civil action number for your case. Type it exactly as the court assigned it, including any letter prefixes. For example, 2384CV01129. If no docket number exists yet, the field allows you to leave it blank, since it says “if available.”
If your case has been consolidated with others, list all known docket numbers so the Board can issue one acknowledgement covering the consolidated matter, as the BBO FAQ explains for cases joined for all purposes. A common mistake is guessing a number or transposing digits, which makes the Board’s acknowledgement point to the wrong file. Some filers think a missing docket number blocks the filing; it does not, because the form expressly allows “if available.”
9. Jurisdictions to Which You Have Been Admitted (Type, Jurisdictions, License Numbers)
This section asks you to list every place you hold a law license, with three columns: Type, Jurisdictions, and License Numbers. The first page gives three rows, and the second page adds six more. Type the type of admission (such as a state bar or a federal court), the jurisdiction name, and the matching license or bar number. For example, attorney Daniel R. Okafor Jr. enters State Bar / New York / 4567890 on the first line and State Bar / Connecticut / 441122 on the second.
This is the heart of your sworn certification, because you swear you are in good standing in every jurisdiction where you are admitted. If you hold more than three admissions, use the second page rather than cramming entries into one row. The most serious mistake on the entire form happens here: leaving off a jurisdiction where you are licensed turns your perjury certification false, and an out-of-state attorney in Massachusetts has already had pro hac vice status revoked and faced discovery sanctions when conduct fell short. Filers often think they only need to list the bar tied to the case; the form is clear that you must list all of them, because the oath covers your entire record.
10. Indigent-Client / Fee Certification (Check One)
This field asks you to check one of two boxes: either the party you represent is an indigent client and no fee is due, or you have included the required pro hac vice fee. Check exactly one box. For example, a paying-client attorney checks “I have included the required pro hac vice fee,” while a pro bono attorney for a low-income client checks “the party I am representing… is an indigent client.”
The fee is waived only for admissions to provide pro bono services to an indigent client, and you must certify that on the form to claim it. The common mistake is checking neither box, which leaves the Board unsure whether to expect payment and stalls the file. A close second is checking the indigent box while still mailing a check, which creates a mismatch staff must untangle. People assume “indigent” can mean any pro bono work; it specifically means pro bono service for an indigent client, so do not claim the waiver for a paying or corporate client.
11. Verification Under the Pains and Penalties of Perjury
This field is the sworn certification, not a blank you type into. By signing, you certify under the pains and penalties of perjury that you are admitted and in good standing in every jurisdiction where you are admitted, that you accept discipline by the Massachusetts SJC and the BBO, and that you understand your practice is limited to the one case named. You also certify the information you gave is true and complete.
Read this language before you sign, because it carries real weight under the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct in SJC Rule 3:07. The consequence of a false certification is severe: you submit to Massachusetts discipline the moment you sign, so a misstatement here can cost you your appearance and expose you to sanctions. A common mistake is skimming past this paragraph as boilerplate. The misconception is that this oath only binds you in Massachusetts; in truth it reaches your standing in every jurisdiction you listed, so a problem in any one of them can unravel your filing.
12. Signature
This field asks for your handwritten signature in ink, after you print the typed form. Sign your normal legal signature on the Signature line. For example, Daniel R. Okafor Jr. signs by hand below the certification. The signature is what makes the perjury oath binding.
You must print the form first, then sign it, because the Board rejects forms that are otherwise modified, and an unsigned form is not a sworn statement at all. The common mistake is mailing an unsigned printout, which voids the certification and forces a return. Some filers think a typed name or an electronic signature satisfies this; the Board’s process is print-and-sign, so use a wet-ink signature to be safe.
13. Date
This field asks for the date you sign the form. Type or write it next to your signature in a clear format, such as 06/15/2026. The date marks when you swore to the statement.
Use the actual date you sign, not the date you started the case or the date of your hearing. A common mistake is leaving the date blank or backdating it, which undercuts the integrity of a sworn document. People sometimes think the date must match the court hearing date; it should simply reflect the day you signed, because that is when your certification took effect.

How to File the Completed Form
This statement is filed only one way: by mail to the Board of Bar Overseers. There is no online portal, no fax filing, and no in-person counter submission for the registration statement itself. After you type the form, print it, and sign it in ink, you mail it with your payment.
By mail (the only channel). Send the completed, signed form along with your check or money order to: Board of Bar Overseers, One Beacon Street, 10th Floor, Boston, MA 02108. The fee is $355 for the Superior Court, Land Court, or any appellate court, and $101 for any other court, per the SJC Rule 3:15 schedule. Accepted payment is by check or money order, because online payment is not available. If you must pay by credit card, the BBO’s FAQ directs you to email registrationdept@massbbo.org to arrange it.
The Board registers your payment and emails you a confirmation document within seven days. That email is your proof of filing, so keep it. Your Massachusetts local counsel must then either state in the motion for admission that the fee was paid or attach a copy of the Board’s acknowledgement. The fee must reach the Board before the motion is moved in court, so mail early enough to leave room for the seven-day turnaround plus mailing time.
Keep proof at every step. Make a copy of the signed form, keep the canceled check or money order stub, and save the Board’s confirmation email. If a question ever comes up at your hearing, these records show the fee was paid and the statement was sworn on a specific date.
What Happens After You File
Once the Board receives your form and payment, it records the payment and, within seven days, emails you a document verifying the fee was paid. The Board’s only job is to collect the fee and pass it to the IOLTA Committee, which funds civil legal aid. The Board does not rule on whether you get to appear.
Your actual admission rests with the court. Your local counsel files the motion for admission pro hac vice, and the judge rules on it at their discretion under G.L. c. 221, §46A. Courts can and do deny admission, including when there are concerns about an attorney’s conduct, as Massachusetts decisions on pro hac vice admission have shown. The BBO acknowledgement clears the fee hurdle; it does not guarantee the court will say yes.
You will not receive a bar card, because pro hac vice attorneys are not registered Massachusetts members. Your practice stays limited to the single case you named, and you remain subject to discipline by the SJC and the BBO for as long as you are in that case. If the court later revokes your status, that is a court decision, not a BBO action.
You do not have to tell the Board if your motion is denied or when your role in the case ends. The fee is not refundable if your application is rejected or never moved. So the practical lesson is to get the form right the first time, since a wrong filing costs you both money and time you cannot get back.
Mistakes to Avoid When Filling Out the Form
- Handwriting the form. The Board returns handwritten forms, so a hand-filled statement never gets processed.
- Scanning or altering the form. Annotated, scanned, or modified forms are rejected, which forces you to start over.
- Naming the wrong court. The court sets your fee, so the wrong court means the wrong payment and a mismatched file.
- Paying the wrong fee amount. Sending $101 for a Superior Court case underpays it, and your registration cannot clear until the right fee arrives.
- Leaving off a jurisdiction. Omitting a license where you are admitted makes your perjury certification false and can expose you to discipline.
- Checking neither certification box. Without a checked box, the Board cannot tell whether to expect a fee, and your file stalls.
- Checking the indigent box but enclosing a check. This mismatch confuses staff and delays processing while they sort out your intent.
- Mailing an unsigned form. An unsigned form is not a sworn statement, so it gets returned and your oath never takes effect.
- Using a wrong or mistyped email. A bad email means the confirmation never arrives, and your local counsel has nothing to attach to the motion.
- Filing after the motion is moved. The fee must reach the Board first, so filing late leaves the court motion with no proof of payment.
- Assuming the fee is refundable. It is not, so a rejected or abandoned filing wastes the money for good.
- Using federal court rules by mistake. The BBO statement is for state court only, so it does nothing for a federal District of Massachusetts appearance.
Do’s and Don’ts
Do:
- Do download a fresh form from the BBO each time, because a stale or altered copy can be treated as modified and returned.
- Do type every field on screen, since the Board accepts only the form filled out on the website.
- Do list every jurisdiction where you hold a license, because your oath covers all of them, not just the one tied to the case.
- Do confirm the court name before choosing your fee, as the court level decides whether you owe $355 or $101.
- Do mail early, so the seven-day confirmation arrives before your local counsel files the motion.
- Do keep your confirmation email and payment proof, because they show the fee was paid if a question arises at the hearing.
Don’t:
- Don’t handwrite, scan, or annotate the form, since any of these gets it mailed back to you.
- Don’t claim the indigent waiver for a paying client, because the waiver applies only to pro bono service for an indigent client.
- Don’t mail the form without a signature, as an unsigned statement is not a valid sworn oath.
- Don’t guess your docket number, because a wrong number points the Board’s acknowledgement to the wrong file.
- Don’t expect online payment, since only check or money order is accepted by mail.
- Don’t assume the BBO admits you, because only the court can grant your appearance.
Pros and Cons of Filing on Your Own vs. With Local Counsel’s Help
In Massachusetts, an out-of-state attorney almost always works with local counsel, since a member of the bar must move your admission. Still, you can prepare the BBO statement yourself or lean on local counsel’s staff to handle it.
Pros of preparing it yourself:
- You control accuracy, because you know your own name, addresses, and license numbers best.
- You save time, since you can fill the short form the moment you have your details ready.
- You avoid relay errors, as fewer hands on the form means fewer chances for a typo.
- You keep your records together, because you hold the confirmation email and payment proof directly.
- You learn the process, which helps if you seek admission in future Massachusetts cases.
Cons of preparing it yourself (vs. with local counsel’s help):
- You may misjudge the fee, because local counsel knows which court level triggers $355 versus $101.
- You can miss the timing, since local counsel tracks when the motion must be moved.
- You might mishandle the waiver, as experienced counsel knows what counts as an indigent pro bono client.
- You lack a local check, because counsel can catch a missing jurisdiction before you swear to the form.
- You carry the full risk, since a returned form delays a hearing that local counsel is responsible for scheduling.

FAQs
Do I list every state where I am licensed, or only the one tied to my case?
Yes. You must list every jurisdiction where you hold a license, because you certify under penalty of perjury that you are in good standing in all of them, not just one.
Do I pay the fee to the court or to the Board of Bar Overseers?
No. You do not pay the court. You pay the Board of Bar Overseers, which collects the fee and sends it to the IOLTA Committee.
Do I have to pay the fee before my local counsel files the motion?
Yes. The fee must reach the Board before the motion for admission is moved, so the motion can confirm payment or attach the Board’s acknowledgement.
Do I write the county or the full court name in the “Court in which admission is sought” box?
No. Do not write only the county. Write the full court name and level, because the court level decides whether your fee is $355 or $101.
Do I check a box if I am paying the fee?
Yes. Check the box stating you included the required pro hac vice fee. Checking neither box stalls your file while the Board waits to see if payment is coming.
Do I qualify for the fee waiver for any pro bono work?
No. The waiver applies only to pro bono service for an indigent client, so you cannot claim it for a paying or corporate client.
Do I leave the docket number blank if my case has no number yet?
Yes. The field says “if available,” so you may leave it blank when no docket number exists, though you should add it once assigned.
Do I get my fee back if the court denies my admission?
No. The fee is not refundable if your application is rejected or never moved, so accuracy on the first filing matters.
Do I receive a Massachusetts bar card after I file?
No. Pro hac vice attorneys do not get bar cards. Only attorneys registered as active in Massachusetts receive them.
Do I have to notify the Board when my case ends?
No. You do not need to tell the Board if your application is rejected or when your role in the case is complete.
Do I sign the form before or after I print it?
No. Do not sign before printing as a typed signature. Print the typed form first, then sign it in ink, because the Board rejects modified forms.
Do I file one form for a case that was consolidated with others?
Yes. For cases consolidated for all purposes, you file one form and pay one fee, but list all known captions and docket numbers.
Do I use this BBO form to appear in federal court in Massachusetts?
No. This form is for state court only. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts uses its own Local Rule 83.5.3 process and fee.
Do I need a Massachusetts attorney involved at all?
Yes. A member of the Massachusetts bar must move your admission, because only an individual lawyer admitted in the Commonwealth can file the motion for you.
