It was still last February 2017 when I renewed my friend’s license who was working from abroad and the process was done in the usual traditional method at the Professional Regional Office. Then recently, I found out that our regional office now follows the new system. This means, only clients with with online appointment will be accommodated. However, nurses can still renew their PRC licenses one year ahead of the expiration date. As an example, if your PRC ID will expire October 2018, you still have to wait for October this year.

The following steps are done via mobile phone:

1. Enter the PRC website at www.prc.gov.ph and click ID RENEWAL and choose where you will claim it: Central Office for NCR while Regional Office for outside NCR. You can also enter the URL http://www.prc-online.com directly.

   

   You will then be notified with PRC’s latest announcement regarding Compliance with Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Act of 2016.

   As soon as you are done, you are subject to agree or decline the following:

   You complete your account with your Personal Data, Family Background, Education, Contact Details, Employment Information, Cedula Details (Not applicable for renewal) and Other Information.

   
   

   Then, you click Save Information!

   

   Click Yes for confirmation!

4. Upload Photo
   

   I got the warning above even though my photo is already in .jpg format. Then, I switched to my computer. Once the photo is uploaded, click Select Transaction.

5. Choose Renewal

   

   Choose your nurse as your degree and type your PRC License Number.
