How to: PRC Online Application for the Chemist and Chemical Technician Licensure Exams

Taking the Chemist or Chemical Technician Licensure Exam this year but don’t know how to proceed with your application? We are here to help!

Application for PRC Board Exams, as well as registration for and renewal of PRC IDs, can now be done online through the PRC Licensure Examination & Registration Information System (LERIS). All you need to do is set up your profile in LERIS and schedule an appointment at the PRC office of your choice to submit the requirements and confirm your application.



Take note of the opening date for online processing of applications for the Chem and ChemTech Boards indicated on PRC’s website. We suggest you proceed with your application as early as possible to get the earliest available appointment dates, as there are a limited number of slots allotted per PRC office at a time.

1. First things first. Register for an account at https://online.prc.gov.ph.

Previous accounts from the old website (prc-online.com) are no longer active, so you will need to register for a new account in LERIS.

2. Once you have created an account, you will be asked to validate your email address. Once validated, you may now sign in using the email address and password you entered in Step 1.

3. Set up your profile, and fill out all the required information.

4. Upload a 2×2 ID photo to complete your profile.

Make sure to follow the required photo specifications to avoid delays in your application.

Note that the photo you upload here will be the one used in your auto-generated application form.

5. Once you have finished setting up your profile, you may now click Select Transaction.

For Board Exam application, click the Examination tab, then enter the details of the licensure exam you are applying for.

Select the date and place of examination, as indicated on PRC’s website. For more important dates to remember, click here.

6. Once you have confirmed the examination details, proceed to schedule an appointment. Select the PRC branch you want to have your appointment at. The earliest available date and time based on your choice will be shown on the right.

Note: Check PRC’s social media pages regularly for updates on the suspension of frontline services in some PRC offices during ECQ.

If you are ok with this date and time, click Proceed; otherwise, click Reschedule. Note that you can only reschedule once per transaction. If there are no more slots available at your chosen PRC office, you can either wait for them to open new slots, or simply select a new branch.

7. Pay the examination fee via your preferred mode of payment (Php 900 for the Chem Boards; Php 600 for the ChemTech Boards, as of writing).

Depending on the option you choose, the convenience fee will vary. No additional fee will be charged for payments made through the PRC-Cashier option; however, you will need to pay and transact at your chosen appointment place and date only.

8. Once payment is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation of your transaction and appointment place and date. Take note of the reference number!

9. To access the details of your transaction, click the Existing Transaction tab.

From here you can directly print your application form, which has been automatically generated based on the information you entered earlier.

Print and sign this form before going to your appointment.

10. All that’s left to do is go to your selected PRC office on the scheduled date and time to submit your documentary requirements and application form.
