Did you know that the PRC can release February 2024 CLE exam results earlier than the expected date?
It has previously been observed that the PRC, as an implementing and policy-making body, may not adhere to the schedule for releasing exam results. The results of the Criminology Licensure Exam will be released on March 6, 2024, according to Resolution No. 1728. However, there have been a few occasions where the PRC has released the results early; like the December 2021 CLE exam results were released seven days earlier than expected.
In conclusion, the results of the February 2024 CLE exam will be available at any moment or closer to the expected date of results.
What happens next after passing the February 2024 Criminology Licensure Exam?
After passing the exam, two important things must be completed by the successful CLE passers: the oathtaking and the PRC ID.
The target date of CLE oath taking will be April 6 or April 7, 2024 (tentative date) or one month from the date of release of the exam results.
The
successful CLE passer will have to login to their LERIS account at
https://online.prc.gov.ph/. Make sure to remember your LERIS account and
password the same way you did during the application period. Now, if you forget
your password, you can click “forgot password” located below
the sign-in button and enter your email address to receive an email that your
password has been reset.
Once you sign in, click on SELECT TRANSACTION
and select the OATH option and choose either Face to Face Mass Oath taking or Face to Face
Special Oath Taking (if you failed to attend the scheduled mass
oathtaking). Under OATH, select “CRIMINOLOGIST”
and type in your application number from your notice of admission (NOA), then
click PROCEED.
The
system will automatically give you the earliest date set for oathtaking and you
will select your preferred schedule then click “SUBMIT APPLICATION” to
proceed.
A
confirmation message will pop-up with a summary of your transaction; make sure
to print your oath form document or the PANUNUMPA NG PROPESYON under the “Existing
Transaction” tab.
Successful
passers after completing the transaction via Online LERIS will receive an email
from the PRC informing them of their preferred online oathtaking schedule and
other reminders and requirements such as ceremony protocols and proper decorum
during the oathtaking ceremony.
The
oathtaking ceremony may last an hour or less, and CLE passers must be at the
venue 30 minutes or one hour before the scheduled oathtaking time.
During the oathtaking ceremony, there will be an introductory message and a summary of percentage data for the February 2024 CLE, which includes first-time, repeater, and overall passers, presented by the Board for Criminology. Then proper oath-taking followed. There will be two oath takings: the PRC oath taking and the Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines (PCAP).
After
taking an oath, the status of your LERIS account will be changed from PENDING to ATTENDED. Successful passers must take a
screenshot as proof of attending the ceremony.
Once
done with the oathtaking, go back to your LERIS account to process your PRC ID.
Under your LERIS account, click on “SELECT
TRANSACTION” and select “INITIAL
REGISTRATION.” Then select “CRIMINOLOGIST”
and type in your application number from your notice of admission (NOA), then
click “PROCEED.” Choose
your preferred PRC Regional Office to select your scheduled appointment to
process your PRC ID. Payment for initial registration is ₱1,050.
For initial registration requirements:
a. Online Oath Form;
b. Old Notice of Admission
(NOA);
c. (2) Passport Size
Picture (White Background, Formal with complete name tag “Surname, First
Name, Middle Name”);
d. (2) Documentary Stamp; and

As
part of the health and safety protocol, inductees shall bring ANY of the
following on the day of the oathtaking:
a. Vaccination Card
b. Negative RT-PCR results taken within 48 hours before the oathtaking
It is recommended that inductees register and
confirm their attendance in their respective regions where they took their
licensure exams and intend to register as professionals. Those who failed to
attend the scheduled face-to-face mass oathtaking may request an online
oathtaking or a special oathtaking.
New
passers are reminded of Section 19, Article III of R.A. 11131, which
states, to wit: “All successful candidates of the licensure examination
shall take their oath of profession in person before the Board or any of its
members, and with the Accredited Professional Organization (APO) in an
oath-taking ceremony held for such purpose. Any person authorized by law may
administer an oath to any successful examinee only upon membership of the APO
prior to entering the practice of the profession.”
