PRC Unveils Full March 2026 LET Guidelines: Eligibility Rules, Document Checklist, and New Test Centers
Building on its earlier announcement of test center expansions and result timelines, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has released the complete eligibility criteria and documentary requirements for the March 2026 Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) – a critical roadmap for thousands of aspiring educators vying to join the country’s teaching profession.
Who Can Apply? The Gatekeepers of Eligibility
Aspiring examinees must clear three key hurdles to qualify, with citizenship, character, and education taking center stage:
- Citizenship & Age: Must be a Filipino citizen (or a foreign national with reciprocal rights under PRC rules), at least 18 years old, and of good moral character – with no criminal conviction for offenses involving moral turpitude.
- Educational Credentials:
- Elementary Level: A Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) degree or equivalent, with all required professional education units.
- Secondary Level: Either a Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) with a major, or a bachelor’s degree in arts or sciences paired with at least 18 professional education units. All equivalent degrees must meet strict PRC and Commission on Higher Education (CHED) standards for the intended teaching level.
The Paper Trail: What You’ll Need to Submit
The application process, which runs exclusively through the PRC’s Licensure Examination and Registration Information System (LERIS) online portal, requires different document sets for first-timers and retakers – with attention to detail being non-negotiable.
For First-Time Examinees:
Prepare both original copies and photocopies of these items before your verification appointment:
- Transcript of Records (TOR) with a scanned photo and the mandatory remark: “For Board Examination Purposes Only”
- PSA Birth Certificate
- PSA Marriage Contract (if married)
- Valid government-issued ID (UMID, passport, or driver’s license)
- Examination fee payment (typically ₱900.00)
- Required documentary stamps
- Notice of Admission (NOA) – to be printed after all requirements are verified online.
For Repeaters / Retakers:
Simpler but still thorough: Reapply via LERIS and present your previous Notice of Admission along with other original documents from your initial application.
