(present original and submit a photocopy)
3.

How long after making a request of certificate indicating I am a board passer will they release it? I am outside of the country, so how can I present an original copy to the consulate?
It takes at least 3 weeks. Sometimes longer. Depends on PRC. Read the resolution. It states there that you can have a representative with an SPA for you to request certificates in behalf of you.
good day, i would like to ask where and how i can get the certificate indicating that i passed the board exam, im outside the country as of now…
thank you.
@jay – You can request for the Certificate of Board Passing from the PRC through a representative which you will have to give a Special Power of Attorney as indicated above.
Ma’am, what if you’re staying for good, is there any other way to sign the registry book?
@Jella – there’s no point in signing the PRC registry book if you are staying abroad for good since you won’t be practicing your profession in the Philippines.
ma’am what name will i use to register if i got married after the board exam and passed. Will i use the name that i used before the exam or my husbands surname? what are the consequences for not registering on time? thank you…
@nica – there are no consequences for registering beyond the date that PRC assigned you to register. That schedule is just for crowd control and nothing more. Better bring your documents (Marriage certificate, birth certificate, etc.) when you register and inquire from PRC themselves what you should use.
ma’am, I just passed the local board and im here in the US without initial registration in prc. so i should get the certificate first through my representative with SPA then mailed it to me then go to Philippine embassy here in US? Also, i am applying for NCLEX here and CGFNS would request for my license in prc. i won’t be back in the Philippines for years to sign on book of registry. would PRC grant CGFNS verification for my license if i have accomplished all the requirements but signing in the registry? if i won’t be able to go back in the Philipines and sign? thanks….
@april – ACCORDING to that resolution, yes (for your first question). As for the other questions (CGFNS) , call PRC to verify this as I do not know what their protocol is about verification of licenses.
thank you for the response….i went to philippine consul here in NY. they said i can just print the result from prc website together with my name on the list of passers. i will call prc regarding my license verification if they can grant CGFNS. i hope so… thank you!
@april – good to hear about this. best of luck with CGFNS!
