LERIS PRC Rating 2026 How to Verify Your Board Exam Rating Online Complete Guide Philippines
If you just took a PRC board exam or need to confirm your professional standing, checking your LERIS PRC rating is one of the fastest verifications you can do in the Philippines today. You do not need to visit any office, wait in line, or even create an account — your exam score and license status are available online within minutes through the official PRC verification portal.
This process works whether you are a board passer checking your exact grades, an employer confirming a hire’s license, or a professional needing proof of standing for a foreign application. The system is free, available 24/7, and only requires basic information like your name, profession, and birthdate to pull up your official record.
What Is LERIS PRC Rating & Verification
LERIS, short for Licensure Examination and Registration Information System, is the Professional Regulation Commission’s official online portal. Aside from license renewal, exam applications, and appointment setting, LERIS also has a dedicated verification section used specifically to confirm board exam scores and professional registration status.
Difference Between Rating Verification and License Verification
Many users confuse these two features on the LERIS platform, but they check different things:
Feature | Rating Verification | License Verification |
|---|---|---|
What it shows | Your board exam score per subject | Whether your professional license is active |
Who uses it | Board passers checking their grades | Employers, clients, foreign regulators |
Portal | verification.prc.gov.ph | verification.prc.gov.ph |
Login required | No | No |
Best for | Confirming you passed and your exact grade | Confirming someone is a legitimate licensed professional |
Warning: Type your name exactly as it appears on your PRC ID or Notice of Admission. Even minor differences, a missing middle initial or a misspelled surname can result in a “No Record Found” error.
Account Required for Checking Rating?
No. If checking your rating is all you want to do, there is no need to sign in with your account. This is one of the most useful features of the system; anyone can verify a rating without registering, logging in, or paying any fee. An account is only needed if you want to request official documents like a Certificate of Rating or Certificate of Good Standing.

Disadvantages of LERIS PRC Rating Verification
“No Record Found” Errors
Minor typos in name spelling, wrong profession selection, or slight birthdate mismatches cause failed searches — frustrating for users who don’t know why it failed.
Not Accepted as Official Proof
Foreign regulators, embassies, and some employers do NOT accept a simple screenshot of the online verification.
Very Old Records May Be Missing
Exams taken before digitization (pre-2018 in many cases) may not appear online at all, forcing users to visit a PRC office in person.
Privacy Concerns
Since anyone can search anyone else’s rating using just their name and birthdate, this raises privacy questions if a person’s exam score is publicly accessible without their consent or knowledge.
No Real-Time Support
If verification fails repeatedly, there’s no live chat or instant help. You have to email the rating division and wait for a response, which can take days.
Requires Exact Information
The system is very strict about exact matches — using a nickname, a maiden name after marriage, or even a missing middle initial can cause the search to fail.
Barcode Scanning Can Be Unreliable
Glare, poor lighting, or a damaged/worn ID card can prevent the e-PIC barcode scan from working properly.
Newly Released Results Have Delays
Immediately after an exam, ratings may not be uploaded yet even though results were officially announced — creating confusion for anxious examinees checking right away.
