PRC Oath Taking: Schedule, Register & Requirements 2026
PRC oath taking is the formal ceremony where new board passers promise to follow the law and the ethics of their profession. It is meant for every Filipino who just passed a licensure exam and wants a PRC ID. Finish it first, and your initial registration will move smoothly.
Who Must Take the PRC Oath?
Every new passer must take the oath before practicing. You cannot skip it. Leris PRC records your attendance in its system, and without that record, you cannot complete initial registration.
You also need these ready:
The oath itself costs nothing to register for on LERIS. Ceremony tickets or association fees may apply, depending on your profession’s organizers. Always read your own announcement first.
What Are the Types of PRC Oath Taking?
Not every passer takes the oath the same way. Pick the one your Board approved.
Type | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
Face-to-face mass oath | One big in-person ceremony | Passers living near the venue |
Online oath (e-OATH) | Live video session | Passers at home or abroad |
Special oath | Arranged after a written request | Passers who missed the mass oath |
Overseas oath | Abroad, often before a Philippine consul or online | OFWs and Filipinos abroad |
PRC Oath Taking Schedule Released
PRC usually posts the schedule a few days after the board results come out. The announcement lists your profession, venue, date, and time.
Check prc.gov.ph and the official PRC Facebook page. Some exams show “to be announced” for weeks after results, so keep checking instead of guessing.
How Do You Register for PRC Oath Taking?
PRC oath taking registration happens fully online on LERIS, so you do not need to line up at a PRC office just to reserve a slot. The steps change a little depending on whether you join a face-to-face or an online ceremony. Pick the one your Board announced, then follow the matching steps below.Â
How Do You Register for a Face-to-Face Oath?
How Do You Register for an Online Oath?
The steps are close to the face-to-face route. Log in, choose the e-OATH option, and submit your application. For virtual ceremonies, online registration usually closes five calendar days before the oath day. Print the Oath of Professional form from PRC Online Services before the session.
Why this matters: Online ceremonies do not scan QR codes, so PRC tags your attendance through the session itself.
If the page will not load, try again later. Do not create a second account, because duplicate accounts cause record mismatches.
What Documents Do You Bring to the Oath?
Your announcement is the final checklist, but most boards ask for these.
Item | Why You Need It |
|---|---|
Printed Oath Form (with QR code if given) | Tags your attendance |
Notice of Admission or valid ID | Confirms who you are |
System-generated Registration Form | Used later for initial registration |
Two passport-size photos, white background, name tag | Required by some boards |
Documentary stamps and a short brown envelope | Required by some boards |
Ticket or proof of payment | Seat check, where tickets apply |
Check your name spelling on every paper. A mismatch with your exam record can delay your registration.
What Should You Wear to PRC Oath Taking?
Dress codes vary by profession, so follow your own announcement first. These are common patterns, not fixed rules.
Group | Common Attire |
|---|---|
Most professions | Filipiniana for women, Barong Tagalog for men |
Nurses | White uniform, as your Board directs |
Engineers | Coat and tie, Barong, or long sleeves with slacks |
Online takers | Formal or business attire, plain white background |
For online sessions, test your camera, microphone, and internet the day before. Pick a bright spot with a clean wall behind you.
How Much Does PRC Oath Taking Cost?
Registering for the oath on LERIS is generally free. Costs usually come from two places: the ceremony ticket (if your organizers charge one) and your later initial registration.
Item | Amount |
|---|---|
Oath registration on LERIS | Free (generally) |
Ceremony ticket | Varies by event, see your announcement |
Initial registration (bachelor’s degree) | ₱1,050 total (₱600 + ₱450 for a 3-year ID) |
Initial registration (non-bachelor’s) | About ₱870 total |
What If You Miss the Mass Oath Taking?
You have not lost your license. You have two backup routes: join the online oath, or ask for a special oath.
How Do You Request a Special Oath?
A minimum number of requesters may be needed before PRC schedules one, except in urgent cases. Passers abroad can join a ceremony in that country or an online one.
What Happens After the Oath?
Leris oath taking is complete only when your attendance is tagged. After that, you move to initial registration.
Keep every receipt until the card is in your hand.

Seating is often first come, first served, and QR lines get long.
