Here are the simple steps you need to follow to renew your Professional Identification Card with the PRC online:
1. Visit the PRC Website

3. Update Details
Fill out your personal information and upload your latest photo. Avoid unnecessary rejections by not uploading duplicates, such as images previously uploaded in the past few years. My photo submission had a white background, and I wasn't wearing a collar.

- Next, choose “Renewal.”
- then select your profession and enter your PRC ID number.

- Set your appointment.
You can change your appointment date once. If you accidentally choose the wrong date, you won't be able to modify it. Simply refresh the page and go through the renewal process again.
