2027 Dues Renewal & Printed Directory
As a reminder, NCPLA membership dues run November through October. Renewal invoices for 2027 will be sent Thursday, October 1, with payment due by November 30, 2026. If you prefer to pay in the new year, that’s perfectly fine. Invoices paid by January 31, 2027, will be included in the 2027 printed directory.
Please do not complete a new membership application. You will receive an individual renewal invoice by email, and it will also be available in your member account. You can pay online or print and mail a check. Please include your invoice number with check payments.
2027 is a print year for the NCPLA directory, so please review and update your member profile by January 31, 2027, including your contact information, firm, clients, specialties, and title. After this deadline, updates may no longer be possible as we prepare the directory for print.
If you don’t receive your invoice by email, please check your member account, as mail-merge emails may occasionally be blocked by work email filters.
Need help accessing your account, updating your profile, or locating your invoice? Contact Chantel
