A PRC Certificate of Registration replacement is for the paper/registration certificate (COR), not the Professional Identification Card (PIC). If you lost or damaged only your PRC ID card, use the PIC replacement service instead.
Which PRC document do you need to replace?
| Document | Use this transaction? |
|---|---|
| Certificate of Registration (COR) | Yes—use the COR replacement transaction |
| Professional Identification Card (PIC/e-PIC) | No—use the PIC replacement service |
| COR with professional data that has changed | You may also need the approved petition/update record supporting the corrected professional data |
Current basic requirements
- Screenshot of the system-generated Action Sheet.
- Original Affidavit of Loss for a lost COR, or the damaged COR when applicable.
- Valid PIC/e-PIC.
- Copy of an approved petition for updating professional data/record when that applies.
- One Documentary Stamp Tax per copy.
Step 1: Use LERIS to secure the appointment
Log in through PRC Online Services, choose the COR replacement transaction, select an appointment date/place and follow the payment channel. Keep the system-generated Action Sheet for the appointment.
Step 2: Pay the current COR replacement fee
PRC currently lists the COR replacement fee at ₱300, plus one Documentary Stamp Tax per copy. Use the amount produced by the official system if the fee schedule is later updated.
Step 3: Present the correct lost/damaged evidence
For a lost certificate, bring the original notarized Affidavit of Loss required by PRC. For a damaged certificate, bring the damaged COR. Bring the valid PIC/e-PIC because PRC uses it to verify the professional registration record.
Step 4: If the professional data changed, bring the approved update record
A COR replacement is not a shortcut for correcting professional data. If your name or other registered professional information has already been changed through PRC’s petition process, bring the approved petition/update document required for the replacement to reflect that record.
Authorized representative rules
| Representative type | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Non-registered professional | Valid government ID plus original SPA executed by the applicant |
| Registered professional | Valid PIC/e-PIC plus original authorization letter signed by the applicant |
Release
PRC’s current FAQ says the replacement COR is released on the appointment date. Sign the releasing log after receiving the duplicate and inspect the name, profession, registration number and other printed information before leaving.
