Licensure Examination for Teachers
Requirements are set by each cycle's official announcement — always confirm the current list in LERIS before your appointment. Last reviewed: July 2026.
Start early: the application timeline no one warns you about
The single biggest reason capable examinees miss a cycle is not the exam — it is the paperwork. The requirements themselves are short, but two of them run on other people’s clocks, and both can quietly eat weeks.
The first is your Transcript of Records. Registrars are the classic bottleneck: a TOR with the scanned picture and the correct Special Order or Board Resolution notation can take days to weeks to release, especially near graduation season when everyone is requesting at once. Ask for it the moment you decide to sit the exam — long before you open LERIS. Your PSA Birth Certificate is the second outside dependency; order the PSA copy early so a delayed delivery never becomes the thing that stops you.
The second squeeze is appointment slots. PRC releases slots per region, and popular exams fill fast — the earlier your documents are ready, the earlier you can lock a convenient date and location instead of taking whatever is left. Civil Service applicants feel this even more sharply: CSC slots at the Regional and Field Offices cap quickly, so being ready on announcement day is the whole game.
Treat this checker as your prep list, then confirm the final requirements in LERIS or the CSC announcement before you pay — official lists are the only ones that count.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements for the board exam?
For a PRC licensure exam you generally need a LERIS account at online.prc.gov.ph, a PSA Birth Certificate, your Transcript of Records with the scanned picture and Special Order or Board Resolution notation as applicable, a valid government ID, ID photos in the current PRC specification, the application fee (the amount is shown in LERIS at the payment step and varies by exam), and an appointment slot with a printed Notice of Admission once your application is approved. The exact list is set by each cycle’s official announcement, so always confirm the current requirements in LERIS before your appointment. This checker lets you tick each item off and print the list.
Do retakers need different documents?
Retakers usually submit the same core documents as first-timers, plus proof of a prior rating or a verification of rating. Some professions also require a refresher program after three failed attempts before you can re-apply. Because retake rules differ by profession and change between cycles, treat the retaker items as a prompt to verify your own exam’s current rules rather than a fixed list — the checker note-hedges these items for exactly that reason.
Where do I apply for the board exam?
PRC licensure exams are applied for online through LERIS at online.prc.gov.ph — you fill out the form, upload your documents, pay, and book an appointment. The Civil Service Examination is different: you apply in person at the CSC Regional or Field Office that serves your place of residence, following the current CSC examination announcement, and slots there fill quickly.
