Step-by-Step Instructions: How I Renewed My PRC License this COVID-19 Pandemic
Posted on August 16, 2021
Surprising news, I got my PRC license renewed in a matter of 3 business days.
That’s right. I renewed it online early Tuesday morning, and I receive it via courier on a Saturday noon. It surprised me since PRC did not post on their website the renewal time-frame process of my license. With this, thank you, Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), for this unbelievable public service. It's truly an improvement.
Before I tell you how I renew my PRC license online, here are a few questions I’ve had in my mind before my www.prc.gov.ph renewal of license. Maybe you have similar thoughts too:
1.) Can I renew my PRC license without CPD units?
Yes.
According to their official website, we, registered professionals, can complete the renewal process provided that we are to sign an agreement. This undertaking requires us to complete the required CPD units for our next renewal. This CPD exemption is effective only until December 31, 2021.
2.) Can I renew my PRC license even if I made a promissory note last renewal?
Yes, as long as we would pledge to an oath of
fulfilling the CPD units next term.
In other words, if there are unfulfilled CPD units last PRC license renewal, we will be asked again to sign another waiver. Visit www.prc.gov.ph renewal for more hindsight on this.
3.) How to renew PRC license this COVID pandemic?
A.) Downloadable JPEG format of 2 x 2 id picture in white background. The picture must not cover the applicant's ears.
B.) For the LERIS PRC renewal payment, you need a Paymaya account, credit card, or debit card.
C.) Your old PRC id.
Here's how I renew my license via PRC LERIS website:
Step 1: Go to online.prc.gov.ph for renewal of license online.
Once here, go to the right side of the screen. Click the

Step 12: Pay the PRC renewal fee.

We are to pay the amount of Php 180.
And then we wait for our renewed PRC license delivered to us.
