Congratulations to the New Registered Civil Engineers (RCEs)! Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has officially released the results for the March 2026 Civil Engineers Licensure Examination (CELE)
Top 5 Mistakes When Searching the PRC List
- Using Old Registry Numbers: Prior to 2000, PRC license numbers were shorter. The system has been updated. If an old number doesn't work, try searching by name or contact the PRC help desk.
- Misspelling Common Filipino Names: A simple typo in "Dela Cruz" vs. "De la Cruz" can yield zero results.
- Confusing Civil Engineering with Other Trades: A "Master Plumber" or "Sanitary Engineer" license is different. Ensure you selected "Civil Engineering" in the profession filter.
- Assuming All Passers are Listed Immediately: After the board exam results are released, it takes approximately 2-4 weeks for the PRC to encode names into the online system. During this gap, passers are still licensed (via the official results release) but may not appear online yet.
- Verifying via Facebook Screenshots: Scammers can edit images. Never trust a screenshot of a license; verify it live on the PRC OVS directly.
- Note any declared specializations or endorsements (e.g., geotechnical, structural) where indicated.
