(NEW) Step-by-Step Procedure in Applying for the Real Estate Licensure Exam
Thanks to our students, we have confirmed that PRC now has improved its process of applying for examination permits in PRC. Exam application is now TWO-STEP: ONLINE APPLICATION, then PERSONAL APPLICATION.
To give you better understanding and guidance, here are the NEW steps on how to apply for your Broker or Appraiser's Licensure Examination:
Step 1: Go to the PRC Website: http://www.prc.gov.ph/online/application/default.aspx. Follow all instructions and complete the required fields. Here are sample photos of how the online application form would look like:
Once all required fields are filled up, press SAVE, then OK. A confirmation reply should appear next, like this:
If you do not have a convenient internet access in your area, you can go straight to PRC, and proceed to WINDOWS 7-9 (for the main office). You will see computer terminals that can be used for your online application. This is FREE OF CHARGE.
Step 2: If you have accomplished your online application (whether at home or at PRC), you must also make sure that your other requirements are already complete:
PART TWO: PERSONAL APPLICATION AND APPEARANCE
Step 3: Making sure that everything is ready and complete, proceed to PRC. Upon entering, proceed and buy metered documentary stamps (P21 each) at their booth near the entrance.
Step 4: Next, proceed to WINDOWS 5-6: PROCESSING, for checking and evaluation of your documents. DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR PRINTED CONFIRMATION REPLY OF YOUR ONLINE APPLICATION. ALSO, DO NOT FORGET TO PRESENT BOTH ORIGINAL AND PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS.
You will have to surrender your original NBI Clearance and original CES Academy seminar certificate. All the rest, they will take your photocopies.
Then, you will be given your Permanent Examination Registration Record Card (index card-like form), which you must fill up, attach a photo on, a stamp your thumbmark on. You will also submit another photo which they will scan.
By this time, they should also be printing out a hard copy of your application form, where you will affix the metered documentary stamp you bought earlier.
Step 5: If everything goes well with your requirements, proceed to the cashier window and pay P900.00 examination fee. Don't forget your Official Receipt (you will be needing this on the exam date).
Step 6: Finally, go to WINDOWS 10-11 and claim your Notice of Admission.
AND YOU ARE DONE!
If you follow these steps religiously, and prepare beforehand your requirements, it should probably take you 30 minutes (or less!) to do your application.

 |
| Click on the magnifying glass on the right of the field and then type key words of your school/address/course, and it should give you a list of choices to click on. Find your school/address/course. You may want to write down in a paper their codes in case you still need them when you go to PRC for the personal appearance. |
 |
| According to one of our students, unless you are a retaker, you just leave this last portion blank. So, even if you had previous professional licensure examinations under PRC, they don't need to be declared here. |
Once all required fields are filled up, press SAVE, then OK. A confirmation reply should appear next, like this:
