As of this date October 26, 2012 , the PRC satellite offices located at the SM Malls only accepts application for the renewal of PRC ID. Other services, including the initial registration of new professionals, can only be processed in the regular PRC offices. Proceed to Registration Division for PRC Manila , located at the ground floor of the Main Building, for verification of your registered name. This division will also asses the fees that you will pay. You must have metered documentary stamps before you proceed to this step. For PRC Manila, metered documentary stamps are available at the Customer Service Counter. I'am a nurse working here in Libya. I just want to ask about my soon to be expire PRC license, coz I have it with me,do I need to send it back to the Philippines with the renewal form that I've downloaded from your blog,and how can I have the special power of atty.? You don't need to send your soon-to-be expired PRC license to the Philippines. You only need to send the renewal form. You can make your own special power of attorney. Anonymous You cannot immediately change the name on your PRC ID because you're not yet legally separated. You are considered married under our laws. I suggest that you separate legally first before you change your name back to your maiden name. PRC will ask for supporting documents when you want something change to your PRC ID. Anonymous Hi I just got married last December. I will be starting my nursing practice next week. I was wondering if could use my married name in documentations on patient charts even though I haven't updated the name on my prc licence yet. Is that allowed or should I stick with the name on my ID? Anonymous May 31 Kaya naka-tag name mo ay may nag-kaso sa iyo sa PRC. Isang possibility ay may kapangalan kang kinasuhan dahil sa malpractice or kung anu mang kaso. Pakitanong na lang po sa PRC kung ano po talaga ang sitwasyon. Anonymous June 17 Wala po akong alam kung anong ipalit sa NSO-certified marriage certificate. Posible na tanggapin na din ng PRC yung marriage certificate na galing sa munisipyo or city hall. Anonymous June 18 Hindi ko po alam kung tatanggapin yan ng PRC. Pakitawagan na lang po sila para inyo pong malaman. Heto po ang number ng PRC: 314-0026 Anonymous July 2, 2013 Posible pong hingiin pa rin sa inyo yung notarized petition form.
