The new registrant fills out an Oath Form required by PRC and take his oath under the presence of an officer of the Philippine Embassy or Consulate where he/she is situated.

Requirements

To take oath at the Philippine Consulate, submit the following:

  1. Certificate from the PRC notifying the examinee that he/she passed the Board, indicating their scores (original and photocopy);
  2. Panunumpa ng Propesyonal from PRC (original and photocopy); and
  3. Notarial Fee: US$25.00

The registrant shall designate his/her representative in the Philippines and execute a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) preferably before the same officer of the Philippine Embassy or Consulate who administered his/her oath.

The SPA should expressly declare that his/her representative is fully authorized to accomplish, sign and execute documents, perform all acts necessary for his/her registration.

To have an SPA notarized at the Philippine Consulate, submit the following:

  1. Two (2) unsigned copy of the SPA;
  2. Two (2) photocopies of valid ID; and
  3. Notarial Fee: US$25.00

The registrant should come to PRC as soon as he/she arrives from overseas to personally sign the Registry Book of Professionals.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) of the Republic of the Philippines has passed Resolution No. 2006-313 (amending Resolution No. 2004-235) to accommodate registration of newly registering professionals under exceptional circumstances such as those who are abroad.

This new resolution addresses the shortcomings of Resolution No. 2004-235 which calls for registering professionals to personally fill out all entries in the registry book, affix his/her signature and 1 x 1 picture with complete nametag on it, therefore making personal appearance to the Commission mandatory.
