PRC License Renewal 2026: Online Steps, Fee, CPD
Quick answer
Renewing a PRC ID on time costs PHP 450 for degree-holders and PHP 420 for non-degree professions. You file on LERIS at online.prc.gov.ph, then pick up the card at a PRC office or have it delivered. You can renew once your ID has expired or will expire in less than a year.
What are the requirements?
- A LERIS account, with your license number ready.
- The renewal application form that LERIS generates.
- Proof of CPD: your certificates of attendance in accredited CPD programs, checked in the CPD Accreditation System (CPDAS). If you cannot show them, you sign a CPD undertaking.
- Other papers your profession's law requires, such as a Certificate of Good Standing for criminologists, interior designers and pharmacists.
Only if it applies to you:
- Overseas Filipino professionals, instead of CPD certificates: an OEC, passport with work visa, overseas contract, foreign company ID, residence permit or similar proof.
- Reacquired Filipino citizenship: your Certificate of Re-acquisition/Retention and the new oath form from LERIS.
- Someone else filing for you: a special power of attorney and their valid ID. A registered professional may use an authorization letter and their PRC ID instead.
