Below are the step-by-step process for processing the Stateboard Verification before the PRC:

Step #1. Complete the Request for Validation (VOL) from the CGFNS or the required form issued by the appropriate State Board of Nursing, and the Stateboard Verification Slip from the PRC.

Step #2. Go to www.prc.gov.ph, which is the Professional Regulation Commission’s (PRC) official website, and sign-in or register (if you do not have an account yet) to your account in the Licensure Examination & Registration Information System (LERIS).

Once signed-in, do the following to accomplish your Stateboard Verification Slip (SBVS):

• Select "Transaction".
• Go to "Certifications" Tab.
• Select the "State Board Verification" in the drop down menu.
• Enter your "Profession," "Quantity (No. of SBV to be applied for)", and PRC "License Number".
• Select preferred PRC Regional Office (PRC Manila), and click "Proceed".
• Complete the transaction by choosing the desired "Payment Option".
• After payment, select "Existing Transaction" and "Print Document".

You may also need to request for a "Certificate of Rating/Passing" which needs to be submitted alongside the request for Stateboard Verification.

Step #3. Prepare your Authorization Letter or Special Power of Attorney (SPA) granting permission to another person to process your Stateboard Verification before the PRC.

If you are currently abroad, you may need to have your Special Power of Attorney (SPA) apostille before the proper Philippine Embassy/Consulate or Secretary of State.

Step #4. Photocopy your valid PRC License and Philippine Passport, and ensure that it is still valid and not expired. The copies of your Philippine IDs must be printed in separate sheets and contain three (3) signature specimen.

If your PRC License is already expired, you will have to renew it before you can proceed with the request for Stateboard Verification. Apostille Pinoy also assist in renewing your Professional Identification Card (PIC).

If you are no longer a Filipino citizen, the PRC will issue a Certification (Confirmation of Profession) instead of a Stateboard Verification. You will need to submit a copy of your foreign Passport.

Step #5. Prepare a photocopy your Transcript of School Records (TOR). Ensure that the copy is clear.

Step #6. Transmit all the documents mentioned in documents #s 1 to #11 above, to your authorized personnel, who will process the Stateboard Verification on your behalf, in the Philippines.

Pursuant to PRC's latest Memorandum issued on 9 July 2024, your Authorization Letter or Special Power of Attorney (SPA) granting permission to another person to process your Stateboard Verification is required to be submitted in its original form.

Step #7. Once your authorized personnel received the documents, your authorized representative will proceed to the "Stateboard Verification" window inside the PRC building in-person.

Step #8. Pay the certification/processing fee at the Cashier.

Step #9. Pay the Documentary Stamp.

Step #10. Pay the Courier Service Fee. You may chose to have your Stateboard Verification mailed directly to the Board of Nursing either thru International Express Mail Service (IEMS) or thru private Courier such as FedEx or DHL. If the Board of Nursing requires you to have the Stateboard Verification electronically mailed to them by the PRC, you need to include a Request Letter advising the PRC to do so.

Step #11. Your Stateboard Verification Slip, together with the rest of the documents as mentioned above, will be submitted at the Stateboard Verification Window.

The mailing of the Stateboard Verification is strictly an Office-to-Office transaction. So, it is only the PRC that is authorized to submit the Stateboard Verification directly to your Board of Nursing. As for the Certification (Confirmation of Profession), you may have your authorized representative mail this directly to your Board of Nursing.
