Not all jurisdictions authorize NCBE to perform score services, and the specific services that are authorized vary. In other words, where you took the MBE determines what services NCBE is authorized to provide. In some cases, jurisdictions perform the score service themselves or the service isn't available from NCBE or the jurisdiction. See the specific score services sections below for lists of which jurisdictions authorize NCBE to perform those score services. Since rules and policies of jurisdictions change, you are strongly advised to consult the jurisdiction's bar admission agency directly for the most current information.
A request for MBE score services must be submitted electronically through the examinee's NCBE Account. Score transfer requests for the October 2020 remote exam must be submitted directly to the testing jurisdiction; do not submit an NCBE score services request.
NCBE is not authorized to transfer or release any MBE score information until after the testing jurisdiction has announced its examination results and authorized release of the examinee's score.
Maximum Age of MBE Scores
Each jurisdiction sets its own maximum age policy; however, NCBE performs score services only for MBE scores that are seven years old or less. If your score is older than seven years, check with your testing jurisdiction to determine if your score is available from the jurisdiction; if your score is not available from your testing jurisdiction, check with the jurisdiction to which you are seeking admission for instructions about how to proceed.
Score Services Fees
The fee ($30 for each score service transaction) may be paid online by credit card (MasterCard or Visa only).
Payment by check must be mailed to NCBE with a printout of the confirmation page at the end of the MBE Score Services Request Form and may significantly delay the processing of your request. No score services will be performed until credit card information is processed or until a check is received with a printout of the confirmation page.
Refunds will not be provided for any reason. It is your responsibility to read these instructions carefully before requesting any score services and to verify that you have provided the correct information in your request.
