New applicants for the 2023 Bar exams should submit their online application forms between January 8 and April 30, 2023, according to Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando, who chairs the 2023 Bar exams. Pevious takers and refreshers should submit their forms from May 1 to July 8, 2023. 

All applicants are also required to submit the supporting documentary requirements through the online application platform Bar Applicant Registration Information System and Tech Assistance (BARISTA) and through courier service beginning August 1, but not later October 24, 2023. 

“Failure to submit these documents within the prescribed period will result in the disqualification of the applicant and the immediate stoppage of the checking of his or her examination answers,” the bulletin read. 

The application fee for the test next year is P12,800. The fee "was reasonably adjusted to partially cover the increased costs of software licencing, venue rentals for local testing centres, and safety measures, among other things, due to inflation," according to the Supreme Court. The rest of the costs will be borne by the high court, according to its statement. 

The 2023 Bar Exams will take place on September 17, 20, and 24. It will be digitalized and regionalized, as with the previous two examinations.
