All information are still the same with the old PRC card except that the Date of Birth and Date of last renewal are no longer in the card.
At the forefront of the new PRC ID card are the information including the last name, first name, middle name, registration number, registration date, expiration date/ validity, the name of the profession, and the bar code.
At the back is the certification that the professional is in good standing. To quote,
This is to certify that the person whose name, photograph and signature appear herein is a duly registered professional, legally authorized to practice his/her profession with all the rights and privileges appurtenant thereto.
This is to certify further that he/she is a professional in good standing and that his/her certificate of registration/professional license has not been suspended, revoked or withdrawn.

Considered parin ba siya as valid ID kahit wala nang date of birth?
Ofcourse
Yes, but as secondary Id na lang
Hello sir/mam. If kakukuha lng ng id last mons. Pwede po bang pa renew sa bagung design na yan? Hehe ???? salamt.
Sir.nkpgregister for aq last july pero d po aq nksabay sa oath. Possible po bng mgoath at prc offce sabay claim ng id at same date? Passer last june po.
Mas maganda ang dati prc id…
Ang panget ng bagong prc id parang recto!
That's an insult… to Recto.
Mas maganda pa po ang gawa ng Recto. :P Haha!
Nag google po ako to see kung meron may mga reactions sa bagong design ng PRC license, kakakuha ko lang din po kase and unfortunately, I have to agree po dun sa ibang mga nag comment. Hindi maganda yung bagong design ng PRC license which is really sad. Pinaghirapan po itong kunin kaya sana pinaganda din nila. It does not look official po kase.
Pahirapan gamitin as valid id kasi wala syang date of birth.
Ngayon na nakuha ko na card, mas maayos naman yun actual kaysa itong image
I messed up my signature in my ID, so I just wiped it with alcohol, the problem is I can't write anything or sign again in the slot provided for signature no matter what pen I used. What remedy should I do for this matter? Thankyou!
Same problem.
Same, ano pong ginawa niyo?
Anu po ba ang tawag sa 9 digit numbers na nakalagay sa likod ng card na nakavertical po?
Hello, valid ba yung id kahit wala ako ng signature sa likod?
Thank you!
Paano po maglagay ng Signature sa likod? Need lang ba ng pen or need ko ulit pumunta sa prc?
wat if mahaba po pangalan ko ilalagay po ba lahat ng pangalan ko? kakasya po ba sa id?
