Such clearance is required to be presented to the Cashier of the SC for the payment of the Bar admission fee amounting to Php3,000 and a certification fee of Php100.00, totaling Php3,100. This clearance is also required to be presented to the representative of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), who is stationed at the OBC, for the payment of the IBP annual membership dues of Php1,000 and the building fund fee of Php200.00, totaling Php1,200. Thus, a Bar Exam passer would need to pay a total of Php4,300 before the oath-taking ceremonies. However, if the Bar Exam passer opts for a lifetime membership to the IBP, a payment of Php13,500 is required in addition to the Bar admission fee and certification fee amounting to Php3,100. After payment, the official receipts of payment must be presented by the Bar Exam passer to the OBC, which will then provide the schedule of the passer’s signing of the Roll of Attorneys, together with a gate pass for a guest.
