Compliments of the season. Wishing us all a more fruitful year.

Hope we all have got NBA stamps. Enforcement has commenced in courts and government agencies. Non adherence will surely be a preliminary objection. Supreme Court holds that documents without NBA stamps are voidable albeit not void. I urge you to endeavour to apply and obtain your own NBA seal. Presently, stamps issued since 2015 expired on 31 March, 2016 birthing the need for new stamps.




Presently, NBA has commenced the issuance of yearly Bar Practicing Certificate. It's no longer bank tellers or receipt, reach you NBA Branch Chairman for yours after paying your Bar practicing fee.

1. complete stamp an application form with your passport photograph &enrollment No.
