Where to Claim PRC ID
After renewing your license online, your new PRC ID card can be claimed from your chosen PRC branch or satellite office. There’s also a delivery option for NCR applicants. Make sure to choose a time and date of delivery/pick-up.
Important Notice: CPD is a requirement in the renewal of the Professional Identification Cards (PICs) of all registered and licensed professionals under the regulation of the PRC, as mandated by Republic Act (R.A) No. 10912 or the Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016.
PRC made this extension noting that the country is now under the State of Public Health Emergency and State of Calamity due to the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
