LERIS Verification of Rating & License: PRC Guide 2026

Last Updated: July 2026
Whether you are a board passer checking your exact grades, an employer confirming a hire’s license, or a professional needing proof of standing for a foreign application — this guide covers LERIS verification end to end: rating verification, license verification by name and by number, and what to do when a record won’t appear.
What LERIS Verification Covers (and What It Doesn’t)
The verification system lives at verification.prc.gov.ph — a public tool under the PRC’s Licensure Examination and Registration Information System. It offers three lookups:
- Verification of Rating — your subject-by-subject grades in a licensure exam you took.
- Verification of License (By Name) — confirm any professional’s registration and license status.
- Verification of License (By License Number) — the same check, keyed by the license number.
Three facts most people miss:
- No login and no fee. Verification is free and public — you do not need a LERIS account.
- It is real-time official data, pulled from PRC’s own records. Employers can rely on it.
- It is read-only. You cannot renew, apply, or fix records here — transactions happen at online.prc.gov.ph, and paper certifications (Certificate of Rating, Good Standing) are a separate LERIS transaction covered in our PRC Certificates Guide.
LERIS Verification of Rating: Check Your Board Exam Grades
The passers list tells you that you passed. Verification of Rating tells you your actual scores — the tool every board passer opens the week results come out.
Step 1: Go to verification.prc.gov.ph
Type the URL directly. On the page, select the Verification of Rating tab (star icon).
Step 2: Select Your Examination
Choose the Examination Name from the drop-down (e.g., Licensure Examination for Teachers, Nurse Licensure Examination), then the month and year you took it.
Step 3: Enter Your Identity Details
Fill in the required fields exactly as they appeared on your application: full name, date of birth, and application number where asked.
A little more detail (so it never fails): the name must match your exam application, not your current married name. If you registered as “Dela Cruz” and married since, verify as “Dela Cruz.”
Step 4: Submit and View Your Grades
The system displays your rating per subject and your general average. Screenshot it for your records.
Note: ratings for a brand-new exam release can take 1–3 days to appear after the official results announcement. If yours isn’t up on day one, wait — don’t assume an error.
How to Verify a PRC License (By Name and By License Number)
Method 1: Verification of License By Name
- On verification.prc.gov.ph, open the Verification of License (By Name) tab.
- Select the profession from the drop-down.
- Enter the professional’s first name and last name (exact spelling matters).
- Submit — the system returns the license number, registration date, and current status (Active, Inactive, or Expired).
Method 2: Verification of License By License Number
- Open the Verification of License (By License No.) tab.
- Select the profession and type the license number.
- Submit — same output, faster match, and it avoids the common-name problem entirely.
Why this matters: for common Filipino names, the by-name search can return multiple professionals. The license number search is the precise one — always ask for the number when you can.
Verification for Employers and Agencies
Hiring a nurse, teacher, engineer, or broker? Here is the clean workflow:
- Ask the applicant for their license number (it’s on the PIC).
- Run the By License Number check — confirm the name matches and the status reads Active.
- Inactive or Expired means the professional cannot legally practice until they renew — point them to our PRC License Renewal Online guide.
- Need it on paper? Many employers accept a screenshot of the verification result; for formal files, the professional can order an official Certificate of Good Standing through LERIS.
Verification for Abroad: CGFNS, NCLEX & State Boards
Foreign regulators don’t accept screenshots — they need official verification sent by PRC:
- State Board Verification — requested through LERIS: log in at online.prc.gov.ph → Select Transaction → Certifications → follow the State Board Verification prompts. PRC transmits your record to the foreign board.
- CGFNS / NCLEX applicants (nurses): your CGFNS or state board application will instruct PRC verification — file the same LERIS certification request and allow processing time before your foreign deadline.
- Authentication of documents (red ribbon/apostille path) is separate — see our PRC Authentication Guide.
Verification Methods Comparison Table
| Method | Where | Login Needed | Fee | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Verification of Rating | verification.prc.gov.ph | No | Free | Passers checking grades |
| License by Name | verification.prc.gov.ph | No | Free | Quick identity checks |
| License by Number | verification.prc.gov.ph | No | Free | Employers — precise match |
| Certificate of Good Standing | LERIS (online.prc.gov.ph) | Yes | Paid | Formal/legal documentation |
| State Board Verification | LERIS Certifications | Yes | Paid | CGFNS, NCLEX, foreign boards |
So, the By License Number check at verification.prc.gov.ph is the best everyday method — free, instant, and immune to name duplication. Reserve the paid LERIS certifications for formal and overseas requirements.
Common Verification Problems and Fixes
“No Record Found” on Rating Verification
Three usual causes: the name doesn’t match your exam application (maiden vs married name), the wrong exam month/year is selected, or the results are too fresh — new releases take 1–3 days to load. Fix the details and retry before emailing PRC.
License Shows “Inactive” or Doesn’t Appear
An unrenewed license eventually reflects as inactive/expired. Renew via LERIS; the verification record updates after processing — allow 1–3 working days post-renewal.
Multiple Results for the Same Name
Common names collide. Switch to the By License Number search, or add the exact profession to narrow the match.
The Verification Site Won’t Load
verification.prc.gov.ph shares maintenance windows with the main portal. Check facebook.com/PRCphl for advisories and retry after a few hours.
I Need My Grades on Official Paper
The screen result is informational. Order a Certificate of Rating through LERIS → Certifications — that’s the signed, official version. (Full process: PRC Certificates Guide.)
Tips for Smooth Verification
Verify With the License Number Whenever Possible
It’s the one identifier that never collides. Employers should make it a standard request on application forms.
Use Your Exam-Era Name for Ratings
Married since you passed? Search under the name you took the exam with — the record lives there.
Screenshot and Date Every Result
Verification pages don’t generate receipts. A dated screenshot is your interim proof while formal certificates process.
Wait Out Fresh Results
Day-one “no record” panic is the most common false alarm. Give new releases up to 3 days.
Bookmark verification.prc.gov.ph Directly
Lookalike “PRC verification” sites appear in search results. The only official verifier is the prc.gov.ph subdomain.
Check Your Own Record Once a Year
A 30-second self-check catches status surprises (and identity misuse) long before an employer does.
Start Foreign Verifications Early
CGFNS and state boards move on their own timelines. File the LERIS certification weeks before your foreign deadline, not days.
Never Pay a Fixer to “Verify”
Verification is free. Anyone charging for it is selling you a public webpage.

Final Thoughts
Verification is the PRC’s most underused free tool. Passers use it once for grades and forget it exists — yet a yearly 30-second self-check, and a license-number check on every hire, prevents the two expensive surprises in this system: an expired status you didn’t notice, and a credential that was never real. For the complete portal overview that connects verification to every other PRC service, see our What is LERIS pillar.
