OAB Amazonas

What OAB Amazonas does

OAB Amazonas (Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil — Seccional Amazonas) is the statutorily mandated sectional chapter of the Brazilian Bar Association for the state of Amazonas, founded in 1932 and headquartered in Manaus. As a public-law professional association operating under Lei nº 8.906/94 (Estatuto da Advocacia), it holds exclusive legal authority to license lawyers, administer bar exam certifications (Exame de Ordem), issue professional identity cards, and adjudicate ethical and disciplinary matters for all practicing attorneys in Amazonas. The organization serves the entire registered legal community in the state — an estimated 20,000+ advogados — and is governed by a triennially elected board (currently the 2025-2027 triennium under President Jean Cleuter Simões Mendonça).

Its core operational platform is the HUB OAB Amazonas digital portal (hub.oabam.org.br), which unifies online certificate issuance (certidão de tramitação processual at R$40, certidão de inteiro teor, certidão financeira simples), electronic filing (Peticionamento Eletrônico), professional registration management, financial portal integration with Banco do Brasil, appointment scheduling (Clube da Advocacia, meeting rooms, Receita Federal visits), and the virtual parlatorio system for lawyer-client consultations. Supporting entities include ESA-AM (Escola Superior de Advocacia) for continuing legal education and CAAAM (Caixa de Assistência dos Advogados do Amazonas) for member welfare.

Revenue is generated primarily through mandatory annual membership fees (anuidades) set per the Federal Council's Provimento nº 232/2025, with graduated discounts for newer members (50% for 2026 enrollees down to 10% for 2022 enrollees). Supplemental transactional revenue comes from professional ID card issuance (R$60-R$120), certificate fees (R$40-R$287), and law society registration services (R$150-R$572). The organization is actively pursuing geographic interiorization, having expanded institutional presence to 58 of 62 Amazonas municipalities (82% coverage as of May 2026), with three additional subsections under technical study in Humaitá, Coari, and Manicoré. It also secured a seat on CODAM (the state economic development council) and maintains core partnerships with judicial bodies (TJAM, TRT11, TRE-AM) and a new AI partnership with Hub Adapta for member-facing generative AI tools.
