Update: September 3, 2019

For NCR passers, you need to apply for an online appointment here if you plan to get a Certificate of Board Rating and Passing based on your profession and the year you passed (pls refer to the list here) and select PRC NCR-Morayta (Main).

If you passed earlier than the stated year in the list, you need to apply directly as "walk-in."

Please refer to the official PRC announcement here

In my case, I needed certified true copies of my PRC itemized board rating and registration certificate (authentication) and I also decided to get a certificate of good standing as well.

Let's do this step-by step:

1.  Upon entry to PRC, proceed to the window on your left to get the Authentication Form if you want to have your copies authenticated and marked as "certified true copy."  For the certificate of good standing, ask for the Certification Form.

2.  Buy document stamps from the window M-N, 1 stamp per document (Php 21/stamp) and affix it to your photocopies.  There are some areas where you can find paste lying around, otherwise it would be handy to bring your own or borrow if you can find someone who brought theirs.

3.  Proceed to the cashier and pay for the forms.  Php 75/document

4.  Go the respective window to submit your documents and wait for your claim slip.  Make sure to include your original documents (which will be returned to you).

Window K for itemized board rating.  Sign your name in the logbook.
Window 11 (inside PRC main building, right side upon entry) for PRC registration certificate and certificate of good standing.

They will indicate the date on the claim slip provided, usually 1-2 weeks depending on the type of documents.

What if I lost my original document?
