If you are confident enough that all the information is correct, click the SAVE INFORMATION at the bottom of the page. A pop-up confirmation will appear, just click the button to confirm the saving of information.

Step 3: Upload Photo

Upload the scanned copy of your recent 2 x 2 picture taken not more than 6 months prior to uploading. It must be on a plain white background and contain no shadows. You must wear decent attire with a collar. Avoid wearing eyeglasses and covering your ears. Please be reminded that an unacceptable photo will be rejected and may cause delays.

Step 5: Pay the Fee

Choose your preferred payment method. You can pay through Landbank, UCPB, or the PRC cashier. If you choose the Landbank payment, you’ll have the option to choose between a Landbank account, through Bancnet or GCASH. Please be reminded that the validation using over-the-counter payments through banks may take up to 2 to 3 working days.

Update: Starting on 28 June 2019, the Professional Regulation Commission announces that its Online Services already accept payments via Paymaya thru Mastercard, VISA, JCB ( Debit/Credit Cards), and Pay by Paymaya (with Paymaya Accounts).

After payment, go back to your account profile then click the EXISTING TRANSACTION tab on the upper-left corner of the screen. Print the application form to finish the PRC board exam online application process.

If you want to pay the fee through the PRC cashier, pay the amount during your appointment date. Just provide proof that you have an existing online appointment.
