MCLE AFFIDAVIT FILING INSTRUCTIONS:

The CLE Tracking Page is the first step toward online filing of the annual MCLE affidavit.

Entering or reviewing information on this screen is not the same as filing your affidavit.

You must click on the "File Affidavit" button on the CLE Tracking Dashboard to successfully file.

You will know that your affidavit has been successfully filed when you receive the “Affidavit Submitted Successfully” screen.

There are several filing categories. For detailed instructions, click your filing category below.

There are four screens to be completed in the MCLE affidavit filing process.

SCREEN 1:

On Screen 1, click the radio button next to “I am filing as an active member, residing in Arizona”.

Members in this category must have at least 15 CLE hours, 3 of which are professional responsibility/ethics, to file an MCLE affidavit.

If you didn’t complete your CLE hours by the end of the educational year (June 30), a late compliance fee will apply. If you have late compliance fees showing, but completed your CLE by June 30, go back and carefully check the dates you entered for your CLE on your tracking page. You may have incorrectly entered a month or year for an event triggering the fees.

If you didn’t file your affidavit by the filing deadline (September 15), a late filing fee will apply.

If there is a fee displayed in this section when neither of these situations apply, do not file your affidavit until you contact the MCLE department (mcle@staff.azbar.org or 602.340.7328) to resolve. If not filing your affidavit would cause you to owe fees, go ahead and file, but indicate pay by check and contact the MCLE department on the next business day to resolve. Failure to file for any reason by the deadline will cause a late filing fee to apply.

You can choose to pay online with a credit card or mail in a paper check. All payments should be remitted within 30 days of affidavit filing. Any member with unpaid fees as of December 15 may be subject to summary suspension for MCLE non-compliance.
