There are many reasons why you may need to modify your practising certificate. These include:
- you are required to handle trust money and your your current certificate does not permit it
- you are required to change to another practising certificate type, such as changing from a corporate to a government role, or
- you commenced partnership or intend to establish your own legal practice, and need to obtain a principal practising certificate.
