If you are a license teacher, nurse, architect, engineer, physician, criminologist and other professionals that are registered under the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). You are required to renew your PRC license identification (ID) card once after it expires.

Typically, to renew your license, you need to go to the nearest PRC offices to  apply a renewal of license. After the application is done, you need to wait several days (probably two weeks) to come back again to PRC to pick-up your new license ID.

That is why PRC develop a system to encourage all professionals who already expired their license to renew their license online in easy ways. Now all professionals can renew their identification cards over the internet.
