It is possible to retrieve a deposited lawyer’s license when the applicant intends to practice law and meets all the requirements to be a lawyer. There is no fee for obtaining the license.
Process:
Electronic application.
The district commissioner verifies that the applicant meets the qualifications to be a lawyer. Once this is confirmed, the license is activated, and a license certificate is sent by mail if available. A notice that the license is active is published in the Legal Gazette, and a notification is sent to the Icelandic Bar Association.
If you do not have electronic ID you can get an application on paper here.
