Upload the documents your board asks for in LERIS instead of visiting. PRC takes about 7 working days to check them. Once the status says complied, print your NOA from LERIS.
How long does it take?
- At the PRC office: about 30 minutes to check papers and release the NOA.
- Online check for repeaters: about 7 working days.
- Filing deadline: fixed for each exam in the PRC schedule. A deadline that falls on a weekend or holiday moves to the next working day.
