LERIS PRC Online 2026: How to Register, Log In, and Book Appointment (Complete Guide)

If you are taking a Philippine board exam or renewing your professional license, you will use LERIS, the PRC's online portal. Whether you are a nursing graduate applying for the PNLE, a teacher applying for the LET, or a licensed professional renewing your ID, every transaction now begins at the LERIS website.

This guide explains exactly what LERIS is, how to create an account, how to log in, and how to book your PRC appointment step by step.

What is LERIS?

LERIS stands for Licensure Examination and Registration Information System. It is the official online platform of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for managing licensure examination applications, registration, renewals, and verification.

Through LERIS, every professional in the Philippines, from nurses to engineers to teachers, can process transactions online using a computer or mobile phone without lining up at a PRC office for the initial steps.

The official LERIS website is online.prc.gov.ph.

Important note: If you had an account with the old system at www.prc-online.com, that account is no longer active. You must register a new account at the current LERIS portal.

What Can You Do on LERIS?

LERIS handles nearly all PRC transactions:

• Examination application - Apply for board exams (PNLE, LET, CLE, and others)
• Initial registration - Register as a new professional after passing a board exam
• License renewal - Renew your Professional Identification Card (PIC)
• Certifications - Request certificates of registration, ratings, and good standing
• Authentication - Authenticate documents
• Name or status change - Update records after marriage or correction
• Lost or damaged ID - Request a replacement
• License verification - Verify professional registration

Important: All PRC transactions now require an online appointment, even renewals.

Requirements Before You Register

Prepare these before creating your LERIS account to avoid delays:

1. A valid email address - Use your personal, official email. Do not create duplicate accounts.

2. A digital 2x2 ID photo - Recent photo in JPG format, plain white background, decent attire with a collar. LERIS will reject poor-quality photos, and a wrong photo can cause penalties on exam day.

3. Personal information - Have your details ready exactly as they appear on your school records and valid ID.

4. An updated browser - Use a current version of Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

5. Valid ID - For matching your records and bringing to your appointment.

Step 1: Visit the LERIS Website

Go to online.prc.gov.ph using an updated browser.

Step 2: Read and Accept the Terms

Read the terms and conditions on the screen. Scroll to the bottom and click the green I AGREE button.

Step 3: Enter Your Registration Details

Click Register. Enter your details exactly as printed on your valid ID and school records. Your password must be at least 6 characters long and include at least 1 letter, 1 number, and 1 special character.

Click the REGISTER button when finished.

Step 4: Complete Your Personal Information

On the next page, enter or edit your personal information, including:

Your profile must be 100% complete before you can apply for an exam.

Once you have an account:

• Go to online.prc.gov.ph

How to Book a PRC Appointment for Board Exam Application

After logging in with a complete profile:

Step 1: Select Transaction

Click Select Transaction from the left menu.

Step 2: Choose Examination

Step 3: Select Your Exam

Choose the specific board exam you are applying for (such as Nurse Licensure Examination, Licensure Examination for Teachers, or Criminologist Licensure Examination).

Step 4: Pick Your PRC Office and Schedule

Select your preferred PRC branch, date, and time. LERIS will show available schedules.

Tips:

• Choose a PRC branch close to your residence
• Morning slots fill up fastest
• Popular exams (teachers, nursing, civil engineering) fill quickly, so book early
• New slots open in batches, so check again if your preferred date is full

Step 5: Get Your Reference Number

After selecting a schedule, LERIS generates a Reference Number for payment.

Step 6: Pay the Fee

Pay the required fee through the available payment channels. After payment, wait approximately 24 hours for confirmation to appear in your account.

• Click Select Transaction
• Choose Renewal
• Complete the renewal information
• Select your PRC office, date, and time (appointments are required even for renewals)

Common LERIS Problems and How to Fix Them

"No Record Found"

Match your name and birthdate exactly to your valid ID. If you accidentally created a second account, contact PRC support to merge or deactivate the duplicate account.

Fully Booked Office

Try another date or another PRC office. New slots appear in batches, so check back regularly.

Payment Pending

Wait a few minutes, then refresh your dashboard. Keep your payment receipt. If the pending status remains past the stated time, contact PRC support with your reference number and a screenshot of your payment.

Forgot Password

Use the password reset option on the login page. For persistent login problems or mismatched records, email PRC's Licensure Examination Division.

Photo Rejected

Ensure your photo is in JPG format, has a plain white background, and shows you in decent collared attire. Re-upload a compliant photo.

• Arrive at least 15 minutes early for your appointment
• Bring valid IDs for document verification

What Comes After Your Board Exam

Once you pass your board exam, you return to LERIS for Initial Registration to receive your PRC ID and Certificate of Registration. You can also complete oath-taking through LERIS for some professions (keep your camera on, use your registered name, and have a valid ID ready for online oath).
