Renew Your PRC License in the Malls


Good news for professionals in the Philippines. The Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) partnered with SM Malls in the opening of PRC ID Renewal Centers located in the various shopping malls in Metro Manila and the provinces. This is another milestone for the PRC because it made the renewal of PRC IDs convenient. Those who are renewing their PRC ID can literally shop after submitting their requirements.

Nine (9) SM Malls in Metro Manila and four (4) SM Malls in the provinces now have PRC Renewal Centers. These Metro Manila SM Malls are SM Mall of Asia (SM MoA), SM Marikina, SM Manila, SM Harrison Plaza, SM Sucat, SM Santa Mesa, SM Quiapo, SM Masinag, SM Novaliches. The SM Malls in the provinces that have PRC Renewal Centers are SM DasmariƱas, SM Bacoor, SM Calamba and SM Lipa City.

Back portion of the PRC license or PRC ID

The PRC Renewal Centers are open 7 days a week (including Saturdays and Sundays) during mall hours. Thus, professionals can renew their PRC ID in their own time and without the need to go to PRC offices. This  means that professionals can avoid the hassle of long lines at the PRC offices.

Filipino professionals can obtain the PRC ID, after submitting the complete requirements at these PRC Renewal Centers.

    It is better that you call the PRC hotline to get the information that you need. Their telephone number is: (632) 3140026.

  4. Hello Anonymous.

    Yeah. I think that you can request for new ID sa mall offices ng PRC. I am not sure about the price though and the other requirements.

    Please call PRC a this telephone number: (632) 3140026 para po sa ibang impormasyon.

  5. Nagapply ako for renewal sa sm nova sabi kasi 7 working days lang pero magone month na wala pa din, pwede ko ba iclaim ung id ko sa PRC manila? Ang tagal kasi sa sm e.

    What?! Mag-one month na wala pa din? I suggest that you contact the PRC at SM Nova and ask them the reason kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin. Tanungin mo din sila kung pwede ba na sa PRC-Manila Office mo na lang kunin yung license mo.

    Yes. Pwedeng mag-renew ng PRC license sa malls kahit isang taon na yan expired.

    For the requirements please visit this page: http://www.ahabreviewsandtips.com/2011/09/tips-on-renewing-your-professional.html

    At dahil yung kapatid mo ang magproseso ng lisensya mo, you should also prepare and authorization letter. Read about that here: http://www.ahabreviewsandtips.com/2012/11/authorization-letter-for-prc-license.html

  11. Hi,

    I am out of the country and I'm planning to have my sister renew my ID license. I know that I should send her my passport photo ID. What is the specific size of the ID? is it the 2x2 photo ID or the 3.5cm x 4.5cm size photo id?

    Thank you so much.

  12. Hi,

    I am out of the country and want my PRC ID renewed. My sister will be the one to renew it.

    I knew that I have to submit a photo ID. I am confused on what size is the ID. Is it the 2x2 photo ID or the 3.5cm x 4.5cm photo ID size.

    Thank you so much.

    The PRC required a "passport sized" photo for the renewal of professional license. Passport size is 4.5cm by 3.5cm.

  19. Hello Dicekei.

    I suggest that you try renewing your PRC license in advance. If you will just replace your ID and then renew it come September then you will have to go to PRC twice.

    I think that PRC at SM only offers PRC ID renewal. But I am not sure since I am to visit a PRC office at SM.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Another thing Dicekei is that you don't need an affidavit of loss if you are renewing your license. Old PRC ID is not surrendered when you renew.

  26. I am glad to hear the good news, and happy for those who are near the prc mall location. But my question for now, what about those who are in the provinces like here in Visayas provinces? Do we need to travel far to PRC just to renew our license? What happened on the online renewal of PIC -PRC Card? I'm hoping this could be generated again coz we are in the modern period and I think the PRC can do this now. I must need a feedback for those who are interested, we must bring this up again.

    They posted on their website the Online Renewal of PIC but it is not working. What is the use of this if not activated...

    Yung Express ID is not 1 hour. Half dayang processing nun. Apply ka for Express ID renewal sa umaga then makuha mo sa hapon. Kapag afternoon ka nag-apply ay pwede mo namakuha kinabukasan.

    Wala silang ibibigay naproof maliban sa claim slip.

    It is not a problem if you forgot your PRC number. PRC can get your records by just checking your name.

    I suggest that you renew your license in the PRC office located in your area or region. You don't need to go to Manila just to renew your license.

    Kung last year lang yan na-renew eh mas mabuti na kumuha ka na lang ng kopya ng lisensya mo. Sa tingin ko ay hindi ka papayagan mag-renew kasi bagong renew lang 'yang license mo. Gumawa ka na lang ng affidavit of loss tapos kuha ka na lang ng replacement sa PRC.

    Hindi kailangan ang original (expired) PRC ID card para sa renewal. So, your father can just go to PRC to renew your license basta ba dala n'ya ang mga required documents at meron din siyang authorization letter mula sa iyo.

    Mga 1 week ang normal processing ng ID. Kung nagmamadali ka ay pwedeng mong gamitin yung Express ID processing. Pwede mong makuha within 24 hours yung PRC ID mo kapag nag-express ID ka.

    Ang gawin mo na lang ay magdala ka ng valid ID bilang patunay ng iyong identity tapos yun ang ipakita mosa PRC. Meron naman siguro silang record ng pagpapa-replace mo ng ID.

    Ipaliwanag mo na lang sa PRC yung sitwasyon mo.
