How to Apply for PRC Express ID

In the previous post, I talked about the regular procedure for the application for renewal of professional license at the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). In the regular procedure, the professional license can only be obtained after three weeks or more after you submitted your application to the PRC.

What if you need to renew your professional license immediately? The solution for that is the PRC’s express ID or fast ID. The processing of professional license through express ID is just few hours. For those who applied for renewal in the morning, the professional license is released in the afternoon. For those who applied for renewal in the afternoon, the professional license can be obtained in the morning the next day.

PRC Express ID Procedure

Step 1: Get the application form (PRC Reg Form 003) from the Information Window, which located near the PRC central office’s entrance gate. The form can also be downloaded from the PRC website (PDF File). Please note that the application form is free of charge.

Step 2: Present the duly accomplished form together with requirements at Window 30, which is the priority window for those applying for Express ID.

Step 3: Go to “Megadata Office” as instructed by the clerk at Window 30. The Megadata personnel will take your photo, which will be used for your professional license ID. Megadata Office is located near the stairs inside the PRC main building.

Step 4: Go to the cashier at Window 36 to pay the fees for license renewal. You will also pay additional fees for the express ID.

Step 5: Get your claim slip at Window 30. The claim slip contains the date when you can claim your professional license. Make sure that you will not lose your claim slip.

Step 6: Claim you professional license at Window 31. The ID can be claimed in the afternoon, if the application was submitted in the morning. Those who applied in the afternoon can claim their ID in morning of the next day.

Do you need more information on the renewal of professional license? Please visit the PRC website or call (02) 736-2248. Read some tips on renewing your professional license at PRC.

  10. Hello Anonymous Teacher


    The Express ID can be availed by all professionals. A friend of mine, who is an engineer, availed of this system. She got her ID within the day.

    The one who gave that information is wrong.

  13. Hello Anika

    Yes. You can use the Fast ID System of PRC so you can immediately replace your missing PRC ID.

    Take note that you need to submit an "Affidavit of Loss" for you to get a new ID.

  14. Oh, Anika.

    The Fast ID and Express ID are one and the same.

  17. I am working here in Abu Dhabi and my PRC license was expired for more than 1year, just in case is it possible that my parents will process the renewal of my license and used that express renewal ID? and what are the requirements if from overseas?

  18. Yes, Catherine.

    Your parents can renew your license for you. All you need to do is to make an authorization letter for them.

  19. trimza: hi, thank you for your information.
    i am a reg radiologic technologist, and my id expired last april 2012, is this program may allow me to renew my ID?

    also do they require me to have a certificate of good standing ?? after i passes the boared exam, i just took care of my child thats why i dont have experience. thanks pls do respond

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hello Trimza,

    Yes. You can avail of PRC's fast ID system in renewing your professional license.

    I tried looking for the website of Philippine Association of Radiologic Technologists regarding your query about good standing. Unfortunately, my effort was fruitless.

    I suggest that you ask PART or PRC to know if they require the certificate of good standing in renewing the professional license.

  24. yes change of marital status. I'm married on May 13,2012 and my license will expire on Dec. 27,2013. I'm planning to change marital status. So if the procedure is the same with renewal? Then I will do it at the same time, renewal and change of status.
    How many days will it take to get the ID if I avail the express ID?

    ReplyDelete
  25. The procedures of renewal and change of marital status are not the same but you can do it at the same time when you are renewing your PRC License.

    For the Express ID:

    You'll get your license in the afternoon if submit your application in the morning.

    You'll get your license the next morning if you submit your application in the afternoon.

    I suggest that you bring the receipt and all the other documents required for obtaining the license.

    You should also bring your marriage license.

    Tell the PRC about your situation. Hopefully, you'll get your license without additional payment.

    Good thing that you have a photocopy of the claim slip. Yes, you can use that to claim your PRC ID. Just explain to them that you lost your claim, just in case that the PRC clerk ask questions.

    Ang cut-off time ng express ID ay hanggang 5 PM.

    Yung regular fee ng renewal ng license ay 450 pesos. Kung may additional fee man ay baka manggaling na iyon sa Nurse Association. Sila na lang tanungin mo about that.

    Grabe naman sa bagal yung PRC na iyan. Yung Fast ID ay available lang sa PRC Central Office sa may Morayta. Kung magpa-fast ID ka ay baka magbayad ka na naman nang bago.

    Kulitin mo na lang yung PRC na inaplayan mo para i-release nila yung PRC ID mo.

    I think you can go to PRC-Manila for the renewal of your license. The only problem if the PRC in your province has not forwarded your records to Manila yet.

    You can send a representative to get you a replacement ID. What you need are the following:

    1. Affidavit of loss.
    2. Authorization letter or Special Power of Attorney that your friend should bring to PRC.
    3. Passport sized photo

  65. Hi,

    I obtain my PRC licence last 2005 and since then i haven't renewed it at least once... Unfortunately, when i decided to renew it, nawala q yung wallet q which contains all my identifications kasama na dun yung expired PRC ID q... Tanung q lng po, do i have to secure Affidavit of Loss for the replacement/renewal of my PRC ID? Mga mgkano po kaya ang penalty q for not renewing my ID on time?

    Thank you po...

    Isa sa mga requirements sa PRC ID renewal ay yung photocopy ng iyong expired PRC ID. Kung wala kang photocopy then doon ka na dapat gumawa ng affidavit of loss.

    Yung penalty po ay depende sa association ng profession ninyo. Minsan kasi nanghahangi ng certificate of good standing yung PRC mula sa association or organization ninyo.

    Tawagan na lang po ninyo ang PRC tungkol dito. Heto po yung phone numbers ng PRC: 310-0026 & 735-4476.
