Illinois Attorney License Lookup
Search 206,900 attorneys registered with the Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) by name. Every record shows the official license status and as-of date.
How to verify a Illinois attorney
- Search the attorney by name in the search box above — it pulls the official Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) record.
- Confirm the license status reads "active" (not suspended, disbarred, inactive, or not eligible).
- Check the disciplinary standing — disbarred or suspended is a public record you can see before you hire.
- Cross-check the name, city, and admission year against anything the attorney told you. This state's public roster does not publish an official bar number here.
