So, you passed the licensure examination but don’t know what to do next to get your Professional Identification Card (PIC). You’re in luck because everything is now going online, including the PRC online registration for new board passers and scheduling an appointment. As a result, fewer transactions are involved, resulting in faster waits and less hassle.
The previous initial application and registration process required applicants to complete an oath form to have their documents checked. Then you would have to deal with the hassles of manually filing all of the specifications, not to mention the long lines at the cashier’s window.
The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), luckily, is now using the Licensure Examination and Registration Information System, or LERIS V2. Several manual transactions were practically abolished, allowing the PRC to accommodate more candidates with fewer resources. All of the old system’s challenges have been significantly diminished, if not solved.
Admit it, not everyone is comfortable using computers or making online transactions and services. As a result, we established this PRC Online Registration guide for all those who struggle with the transition. This guide will take you through the step-by-step process of completing the PRC online initial registration and how to set an appointment date and time.

You have the option of paying the registration fee in person at the PRC Office or via Landbank/UCPB. The transaction description will be shown in a pop-up message. Then, hit the submit button.
