PRC Registration Renewal in Clark (ONE STOP PROCESSING CENTER)

Our PRC License.... How important right?

As Professionals, it is our license to practice in our chosen fields and therefore, whether we are currently practicing our professions or not, it is so important for us to keep it current and updated. 

ONE-STOP PROCESSING CENTER

Finally, this is my update on my blog regarding the PRC ID License renewal (LINK HERE) and I want to share, yet again, my experience with you guys who want to renew their licenses as well, to give you an idea on the process.

 Unfortunately for those living in San Fernando Area,  SM CITY Pampanga no longer processes PRC ID renewals. But no worries...it is still available within Pampanga and now, PRC has their own designated office in Clark Freeport Zone's ONE STOP PROCESSING CENTER (Formerly Clark Polytechnic).

So last November 7, 2017, I went to the One Stop Processing Center because my License will expire this month. At the entrance, I was greeted by a very accommodating security guard and asked me, "PRC po Ma'am?". I told him, "yes po" and he signaled his hand towards the building entrance and delightfully said, "5th door po Ma'am." The area is not that big enough so no worries because you won't get lost. Besides, the rooms are labeled as to what agency they are. And with accommodating guards like manong guard, how can you get lost? Haha.

PRC OFFICE

So upon entering the PRC Office, I approached the counter and I was instructed to get a form (available at the counter), fill it up and paste a recent a picture with name tag. Goodness me, I forgot to bring a recent PRC sized picture that conforms to the requirements but thankfully, there is a "Bayad Center" near the PRC Office and they were able to print my pictures after 15 minutes of waiting; they also have pens just in case you forget to bring one.

So once I had a picture available, I am ready to start the process. When I went back to the PRC Office, the time was 11:05 AM. The queue was not that long as there were just around 8 to 9 people in the waiting area.

Here are the steps....

Application Form (Click to view larger image). 
They have plenty of forms available at the counter.

STEP 1: DULY FILLED APPLICATION FORM
As I've mentioned, there were forms available at the counter so you just have to get one and make sure that you have it properly filled out with your data. They have paste available on the writing area so don't forget to paste your ID Picture and sign the form. This step takes around two (2) minutes to accomplish.

STEP 2: SUBMIT THE APPLICATION FORM
(Time check...it was 11:05 when I submitted my form to the PRC personnel.)
Once the application form is properly filled out, submit the form to the first counter, along with the current license you have. The ID Card will just be checked and will be returned right away after inspection. From here, you will be asked to sit down and wait while your paper is being processed. It took around a good 15 minutes before my name was called...

STEP 3: PAYMENT(Time check... 11:20am)
At the counter, my name was confirmed and I was asked to pay Php 450 for the renewal fee of a Nurse. After giving my receipt, the personnel asked me to have a seat. It took around 15 minutes until my name was called out again...

STEP 4: RELEASING!!!
...At first, I thought the process was taking so long because as compared to my previous renewal three years ago, that one only took around 15 minutes for the whole process until I received my claim slip...

And so my name was called out again and I was asked to sign their "RELEASING LOGBOOK" which I did. To my surprise, instead of handing me out the usual ID CLAIM SLIP, the personnel gave me my NEW PRC LICENSE ID CARD!!!

Isn't that amazing? Instead of waiting for a month or so...they are already releasing  PRC ID License Cards right there in their Office. This really made me happy because there is no need to follow up whether the cards are already available and moreover, it saved me time and money having to go back to claim the card. So KUDOS to PRC for that!!!

All in all, the actual processing of my PRC license  renewal just took me around 30 minutes. At 11:40 am, I was on my way out ready to go home to my kiddos. Overall, I'm giving this office a rating of 4.8/5 with regards to my experience with the PRC license renewal. And let me just add, my husband also renewed his PRC License 2 days after I did mine and according to him, it took him less than 20 minutes from Step 1 until the release of his ID Card. His license was supposed to expire in July 2018 but they processed it already. Nice one! 

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

ADDITIONAL INFO:
 As of this writing, there were NO CPD UNITS REQUIRED for the PRC License renewal yet. If until when this requirement is flexed, I am not sure. 
 Those whose licenses are expiring in less than one year can also renew their licenses already. So my suggestion is to renew your licenses while PRC still exercises flexibility on license renewal with regards to the CPD requirements. (Go na mga besh!!!)
 OTHER TRANSACTIONS provided by PRC CLARK: 
Aside from the RENEWAL of ID CARDS, they only process requests for DUPLICATE and REPRINT, according to the PRC personnel. So that means for any other processes such as verifications, printing of certificates, request for change of name, etc., you would have to go to PRC Main Office in Manila.

So there you go guys, I hope that I have helped you one way or the other. Let me know how yours went by leaving a comment below.:)

I'd like to hear from you! What do you guys think about my post? Your comments and suggestions are very much welcome and appreciated! Thanks!

PRC Registration Renewal at SM City Pampanga

Hello! How are you? Today, my post is not about cooking or recipes. I just want to share my experience with my PRC ID renewal recently at SM City Pampanga hoping to help our fellow PRC ID holders by giving an idea on the renewal process.

My license was supposed to be renewed in late 2012 but since I was pregnant with our first baby then, I did not want to travel too far to Manila (since I am from Pampanga). Anyway, to cut the story short, 2014 came and I still haven't renewed my PRC License. Because of the long travel, the fact that I did not know how to commute to and from PRC (Opo, maliligaw ako sa Maynila. Promdi lang. Lol!), the long lanes at PRC, and most specially my little girl, I really could not go to Manila because it was too inconvenient for me.

Thankfully, last January, my tita (aunt), who is also a professional, informed me that the Business Center at SM City Pampanga is already accepting and processing PRC ID Renewal. Thank God!!! I mean how convenient right? It was so time and energy saving and moneywise, too! So at the soonest time possible, I went to SM City and finally got my ID processed for renewal.

Just in case you asked, the SM Business Center is located near Tom's World, Toy Kingdom, Partyland, Our Home, etc and beside Enfant (if I remember it clearly). I am not sure though if the Business Center inside the department store is also accepting PRC renewal transactions.

Anyway, I arrived at the business center at around 10 in the morning and thankfully, I was their first customer. The manong guard assisted me and I was asked to fill up the PRC Form and attach a picture with it that conforms to the PRC requirements. (Important Reminder: Come to the business center wearing something with collar. This is for picture purposes.) Since I did not bring a picture with me, I went to Tronix (located at the 3rd level) and it took me around 15 minutes only to get my pictures done and cost me Php60. Just tell them that your picture would be for PRC renewal, with name tag, and they'll know what to do.

After I got my pictures, I went back to the SM Business Center, filled up the application form correctly, attached my photo and went to the transaction counter. They asked for my old PRC License (the card itself and not a photocopy) , got my application form and encoded it to their computer. At this point, I was asked to stand in front of their camera because they would need to take my picture for the ID. I asked them how come they asked me to attach a picture in the application form and the lady said that it was for "back up" purposes only, in case the photo that they captured will not be accepted by PRC Main Office. Note that I have mentioned previously that you should come to the Business Center wearing something with collar and this is what it was for.

Now, the fee for renewal alone is Php 450. If your ID is not expired, you would only have to pay 450 pesos plus SM's transaction fee of PHP 50. But since mine was expired for 15 months, I had to pay a penalty of around 25 pesos per month that my registration have lapsed. So overall, I paid the amount of Php 860 (810 for PRC Fees amd 50 for SM fees).

After my payment, the lady showed me the confirmation that my transaction was successful and returned my expired card, asked to keep my receipt and claim slip for claiming the card. All-in-all the transaction at the Business Center took less than 15 minutes only. Whew!

Normally, it would take 30 to 40 business days before the PRC ID can be claimed unless there would be a problem with the delivery, like what happened to mine. So anyway, it's Holy Week already and I would have to check mine by next week and update this blog soon.




UPDATE:
SM CITY Pampanga no longer processes PRC Registration Renewal. However, PRC has a new office located at the ONE STOP PROCESSING CENTER inside Clark.
