Whether you are a board exam applicant, a fresh passer, a licensed professional due for renewal, or a DepEd teacher managing your license — every PRC transaction in the Philippines now runs through one system: LERIS. This guide explains what LERIS is, what you can do on it, how to use it step by step, and where to go when something goes wrong.
Which PRC Transaction Do I Need?
Unofficial helper — answer 1 question and we’ll point you to the right guide. Transactions are completed only at online.prc.gov.ph.
What best describes your situation?
What is LERIS?
LERIS stands for Licensure Examination and Registration Information System. It is the official online portal of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) — the Philippine government agency that regulates all licensed professions, from nursing and teaching to engineering, accountancy, and criminology — more than 45 professions in all.
In simple terms: LERIS is where every Filipino professional transacts with PRC online. Board exam applications, license renewals, verification of ratings, oath taking registration, and PRC ID replacement all start on this single platform. Before LERIS existed, these transactions meant long queues at PRC offices. Now, you book, pay, and file everything online — and only appear in person for your scheduled appointment.
Why LERIS matters to you:
- No PRC transaction can start without it — walk-in applications without an online appointment are not accepted for most services.
- One account covers your entire professional career, from your first board exam to every renewal after.
- It holds your official records: license number, exam history, ratings, and registration details.
The Official LERIS Website (and Mirror Portals)
The one and only official LERIS URL is:
Type it directly into your browser. Do not search “LERIS” on Google and click random results — outdated and unauthorized sites appear in search listings.
PRC also runs two mirror portals that carry the same system, useful when the main site is slow or under maintenance:
- online1.prc.gov.ph
- online2.prc.gov.ph
Two more official addresses worth knowing:
- verification.prc.gov.ph — verify ratings and licenses (no login needed)
- www.prc.gov.ph — the PRC’s main information website (news, advisories, exam schedules)
Note: The old portal at www.prc-online.com is permanently deactivated. Accounts created there do not carry over. If you last transacted with PRC years ago, you need a fresh account at online.prc.gov.ph.
What is LERIS 2.0?
There is no officially released product called “LERIS 2.0.” The name is informal — used by professionals who noticed the system changed over the years.
What actually happened: PRC migrated from the old prc-online.com system to the current portal at online.prc.gov.ph, and users started calling the new system “LERIS 2.0” or “LERIS v2.” The mirror portals (online1, online2) are sometimes mistaken for separate versions too — they are not. They are backups of the same system.
If you are searching “LERIS 2” to find out whether you need to re-register: the current and only active system is online.prc.gov.ph, and your existing account there is already on the latest version.
Who Needs a LERIS Account?
One LERIS account serves you for life. You need one if you are any of the following:
- A board exam applicant — every licensure exam application (LET, NLE, CLE, CPA Board, and 45+ other professions) is filed through LERIS.
- A new board passer — initial registration, oath taking, and your first PRC ID all go through the portal.
- A licensed professional — PRC ID renewal is required every three years, and it starts on LERIS.
- A DepEd or private school teacher — LPT license management, renewal, and certifications run through the same system. (There is no separate “DepEd LERIS” — teachers use the standard portal.)
- A professional working abroad — renewals, certifications, and verifications for foreign employers can be initiated from overseas through the same account.
If you only need to verify someone’s license or check a board rating, you do not need an account — verification is public at verification.prc.gov.ph.

How to Use LERIS Step by Step
Every transaction on LERIS follows the same five-stage flow. Here is the complete process from zero to done:
Step 1: Create Your LERIS Account
Go to online.prc.gov.ph, accept the Terms and Conditions, and register with your name (exactly as printed on your PSA Birth Certificate), date of birth, email, and a password. Verify your email through the link PRC sends you.
Use a personal email you will own forever — not a school or company address. Your account is tied to it for your entire career.
Step 2: Complete Your Profile to 100%
Log in and fill in your full personal information: address, mother’s maiden name, school, degree, and graduation date. Then upload your 2×2 photo (JPG, plain white background, collared attire). The system blocks all transactions until your profile reaches 100%.
Step 3: Select Your Transaction
From your dashboard, click Select Transaction and choose what you need — Examination, Initial Registration, Renewal, Duplicate, Certification, or Authentication.
Step 4: Book Your Appointment and Pay
Choose your preferred PRC regional office. The system offers the earliest available date — click View Other Dates if you want a different schedule. Then pay via GCash, Maya, LandBank, debit/credit card, or over the counter at the PRC cashier on your appointment day.
Step 5: Print Your Documents and Appear In Person
Print your application form and payment confirmation. On your appointment date, bring them with your valid ID and any transaction-specific requirements. No same-day appointment policy applies — transact only on your scheduled date.
(That is the whole system. Master this flow once and every future PRC transaction feels familiar.)
LERIS Photo and Valid ID Requirements
Two things trip up more LERIS users than anything else — the photo and the name-ID match. Get these right from day one.
Photo requirements:
- 2×2 size, JPG format, file size under 2MB
- Plain white background
- Front-facing, neutral expression
- Decent attire with a collar
- No filters, no eyeglasses, no accessories covering the face
Accepted valid IDs:
PSA Birth Certificate, Philippine passport, driver’s license, UMID, SSS/GSIS ID, PhilHealth ID, Voter’s ID, or your existing PRC ID. The name on your LERIS profile must match your valid ID exactly — including your middle name and suffix (Jr., III). Even a one-letter difference triggers record errors later.
LERIS Transactions Comparison Table
| Transaction | Who It’s For | Typical Fee | Personal Appearance? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exam Application | Board exam takers | ₱600–₱900 (varies by exam) | Yes — document verification |
| Initial Registration | New passers | ₱600–₱1,050 (varies by profession) | Yes — biometrics & ID claim |
| PIC Renewal | Licensed professionals | ₱450 (3-year cycle) | Yes — ID claim |
| Verification of Rating/License | Anyone | Free online | No |
| Oath Taking | New passers | Varies by ceremony | Yes (e-Oath available for some) |
| Duplicate PIC | Lost/damaged ID holders | ₱250 + convenience fee | Yes — same-day release typical |
| Certifications | Professionals needing documents | ₱75–₱150 per copy | Yes — claiming |
| Authentication | Local/overseas document use | Varies by document | Yes — submission/claim |
(Fees verified as of mid-2026 from official PRC schedules — always confirm the final amount shown in your LERIS transaction summary before paying.)
So, LERIS covers every PRC transaction in one account — and for most services, the online step replaces the queue, not the visit. You still appear once, on schedule, with everything pre-paid and pre-filed.
Common LERIS Problems (Quick Fixes)
LERIS not working or under maintenance — Try the mirror portals (online1.prc.gov.ph, online2.prc.gov.ph). Check facebook.com/PRCphl for maintenance announcements. Most outages are scheduled and short.
Can’t log in or forgot password — Use the green Forgot Password button on the sign-in page. → Full guide: PRC LERIS Login & Account Recovery
“Name Already Registered” during sign-up — You have an existing account. Recover it instead of creating a duplicate — PRC prohibits multiple accounts.
No appointment slots available — Slots release in batches. Check early mornings and try nearby regional offices. → Full guide: PRC LERIS Online Appointment
Payment not reflecting — Wait 24–48 hours, keep your reference number, then email PRC if it still doesn’t appear.
Tips for Using LERIS Without Stress
Register Long Before You Need It
Create your account and complete your profile to 100% now — not the night before an application deadline. Profile issues take days to fix; deadlines don’t wait.
Match Everything to Your PSA Birth Certificate
Your PSA record is PRC’s reference document. If your driver’s license spells your name differently, follow the PSA version in LERIS.
Bookmark the Official URL
Save online.prc.gov.ph in your browser today. Never navigate to LERIS through search results.
Screenshot Every Reference Number
Every payment and appointment generates a reference number. Screenshot each one immediately — it’s your only proof if something doesn’t reflect.
Book Appointments Early in the Morning
New slots typically appear at the start of the day. If your preferred office is full, a nearby regional office often has same-week availability.
Use One Email for Life
Never rotate emails between transactions. One personal Gmail or Outlook address, permanently. Every OTP, confirmation, and record notice goes there.
Renew Before Your Birth Month
PIC renewal opens as early as one year before expiry. Renewing early costs nothing extra and avoids the expired-license penalty entirely.
Check the PRC Facebook Page Before Panicking
Site down? Slots gone? Fee changed? PRC announces everything at facebook.com/PRCphl first. Check there before assuming your account has a problem.

Final Thoughts
LERIS is not optional — it is the front door to your entire professional life in the Philippines. The professionals who struggle with it are almost always fighting one of two self-inflicted problems: a profile that doesn’t match their PSA record, or an account created in a rush with an email they later lost.
So set yourself up properly once: register at online.prc.gov.ph with a permanent email, complete your profile to 100%, and bookmark the portal. After that, every transaction — exam, registration, renewal, certification — is the same familiar five-step flow. Use the guides linked throughout this page whenever you need the detailed steps for a specific transaction.
