You need a writing. When you disclose it to the bar, they'll want to know why you didn't disclose it in your application. Telling them "well I did, but by phone" isn't exactly going to make the process easier. I can't speak for all states, obviously, but Texas is like this and California is REALLY like this.
Yes, I agree, but you should contact them first over the phone so that they can advise you on the proper procedure for disclosing in writing. There are a lot of ways that you can mess it up, and since they deal with it all the time, they will know what they want and what you should write.
