Official Transcript of Records (OTR). Issued by your university registrar with school dry seal and signature. Universities typically take 2 to 4 weeks. Request early.

Certificate of Graduation or Diploma. Check whether PRC requires original, certified true copy, or photocopy for your specific cycle.

Certificate of Good Moral Character. Usually from your school guidance office or registrar. Some PRC cycles accept a barangay-issued certificate.

2x2 ID Photos. White background, taken within 3 months, formal attire, no eyeglasses. Have these taken at a photo studio and mention it is for PRC.

Common CLE Application Mistakes to Avoid

Name mismatch with PSA documents. Even a missing middle initial causes problems. Use your name exactly as it appears on your birth certificate.

Waiting until the final week to apply. Slots fill fast. Apply the first week the window opens.

Wrong photo specs. A photo studio familiar with PRC requirements saves you from a flagged application.

Not checking email after submitting. PRC sends important updates to your registered email. Check inbox and spam folder regularly.
