Navigating LERIS PRC

(Updated: July 22, 2024)

Building a professional career in the Philippines is now easier now that individuals can apply for a board examination or renew their license through a LERIS PRC account. 

The LERIS, or Licensure Examination and Registration Information System (LERIS), is the official portal of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to streamline its process. Below is a quick guide professionals can follow to learn how to register and utilize their accounts.

What Is The Purpose Of LERIS?

Like other government organizations, the PRC has made a few of its services available online. The LERIS platform allows professionals to:



  • Apply for a board examination 
  • Reschedule their appointment
  • View their examination results
  • Register for a Professional ID card
  • Renew their license
  • Verify their rating

However, before an individual can use these features, they must register for a LERIS PRC account. Shifting to this system is more convenient for applicants since they no longer have to visit a PRC branch. Processing their transactions is also faster since the automated system lets them receive their professional documents quickly.
