STEP 2: Verify PRC license either by name or by license number.

There are two ways to check your PRC records:

  1. Verification by License (by Name)
  2. Verification of License (by License No.)

  1. In order to make use of this particular option, you will first need to utilize the drop-down menu function provided to select the profession that most accurately reflects your actual job title or field of expertise (for example, you might choose to identify yourself as an Aeronautical Engineer). Following this step, you will be prompted to manually enter your first and last name into the appropriate text fields, so that we can accurately verify your identity and ensure that you have full access to all available features and resources. Once you have inputted this personal information, you may then proceed by clicking the prominently-displayed VERIFY button that is clearly visible on the page, as this will signal to our system that you are authorized and eligible to use this option and all associated benefits and services.

2. You might notice that there is a feature that can verify your professional record. It’s a straightforward process that involves filling out the necessary information and waiting a short while for the system to verify your record. Once you have completed this process, you will be pleased to know that your name will display as a Verified PRC Professional in a pop-up window. This can be extremely beneficial when you are looking for employment or trying to showcase your skills to potential clients. It can provide further validation to your credentials, and help you stand out among other applicants. It’s a simple way to ensure that your professional record is accurately represented, and that you have the best chance at success in your field.

3. Otherwise, if you happen to input incorrect information or if the search results return no matches, there is no need to panic. The system is designed to inform you of this situation through a message that will appear on the screen, specifically on the upper right corner of the page. The message will clearly state that no records have been found for your search query. It is understandable that sometimes it may be frustrating not to find the information that you are looking for, maybe it is only a system glitch. You can contact PRC for this concern.

  1. When it comes to selecting your profession under this option, it’s important to make sure you choose the correct one from the drop-down menu. There are various options available, such as Aeronautical Engineer, so it’s important to take the time to ensure you’ve chosen the right one. Once you’ve selected your profession, you’ll also need to provide your license number and birth date into the appropriate fields. This information is crucial for verifying your identity and ensuring that you’re eligible for the option you’ve selected. Once you’ve entered all the necessary information, simply click the “VERIFY” button. This will allow our system to quickly and accurately verify your identity and ensure that you’re able to proceed with the chosen option. By following these steps carefully and providing accurate information, you’ll be on your way to successfully completing this process.

2. When you access your record, you will be pleased to see that all the details pertaining to your registration are displayed in a user-friendly window. The window provides you with information such as your full name, profession, the initial registration date, as well as the license expiration date. Furthermore, you will also be able to view the status of your license, which will enable you to stay up-to-date with your professional obligations. The status of your license will indicate whether it is valid or expired. This will allow you to take the necessary actions to renew or update your license in order to continue practicing your profession. With this easy-to-use feature, you can access all the details of your registration quickly and with ease.

3. As per the system’s operation, in case the searched record is not found, the system will kindly generate a message for your convenience. This message will be stationed at the upper right corner of your screen, ensuring its visibility and accessibility. The message will contain a phrase that states that “no results were found”. Be rest assured that this message serves to provide you with prompt and accurate feedback on the availability of your desired record. You can contact PRC if this case happens.

The disclaimer on the PRC website is a standard statement that acknowledges the possibility of human or mechanical error in the online verification process. While the PRC strives to provide accurate and up-to-date information, there may be instances where the information displayed is delayed or incorrect. It is important for individuals and employers to understand that the online verification service is intended for convenience and facilitation of queries, and should not be relied upon as the sole source of information for making important decisions. It is always advisable to verify information with the PRC directly and to exercise due diligence in evaluating the qualifications and credentials of licensed professionals.

For individuals who may have questions or concerns about the PRC online services, the FAQs page and the Contact Us page on the PRC website can provide users with the necessary information they need to navigate the online verification process or to address any issues or concerns they may have. These resources can help ensure that individuals and employers have access to accurate and up-to-date information about licensed professionals, enabling them to make informed decisions and maintain high standards of professionalism in their respective fields.

    Is it possible that a registered nurse name will not be posted in prc online verification.?

    1. Admin - Ali

      Hi Karen,

      Have you tried both ways of verification? By name or by license number?

      A disclaimer is added to the verification page “DISCLAIMER: This verification service is intended solely for the facilitation of online queries …..While the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) believes the information to be reliable, human or mechanical error remains a possibility, as does delay in the posting or updating of the information.”
      So there is a possibility that their online database list is not complete.

      If you want to contact PRC regarding this matter, you can use their Contact Us form, https://www.prc.gov.ph/public-assistance.

      Kind regards,

      Ali

        Hi, sa PRC online, di makikita ang license number… try to contact PRC for assistance, https://www.prc.gov.ph/public-assistance.
        Or much better to contact the clinic/hospital kung saan naka-assign yun doctor to check with his office about your inquiry.

      2. Che

        Hello, I NEED my PRC ID number. How do i go about this? Ive never renewed my licensed and lost the original ID. Forms are requiring i input prc id number. Ty.

    good day! just wanna ask how many months does it take for the change of status to be effective? I change my status from single to married last month and was advise to check updates after a month, but upon checking, I discovered that its still the same as before. I was hoping to renew my license immediately after the change of status. Kindly advise of where can I check updates please.

    1. Admin - Ali Chavez

      Hi Madel,
      I believe a change of status in PRC will take 3 months to process. If you applied in any PRC office, they usually provide a claim stub with a date when you can come back to claim the new PRC ID (based on experience 2 years ago). You can renew your license and change your status at the same time, so once the new PRC id is released, it will show your married name.
      To contact PRC, here is the link, https://www.prc.gov.ph/public-assistance
