How to register for your real estate brokers license

First of all, congratulations to all new real estate brokers! Many of you may have
already registered for your licenses but to those who have not yet done so, this
post may be helpful. This is based on our experience last April 8, 2011 when my
husband and I went to the PRC to register for our licenses.
Things to bring:
1. 1 short brown envelope (This is for sale at the PRC Coop store for Php5 each)
2. 1 paste (This is also for sale at the PRC Coop store for Php3 each)
3. 2 pcs. Passport size picture with white background and complete nametag.
If you have extra pictures which you were not able to use during the application
period, you may use them. You may also have your picture taken at the photo booths
inside PRC (beside the Public Assistance Center nearest to the entrance) for Php80.00
a set.
4. 1 pc. 11 size picture with white background and complete nametag.
Another Php80.00 for this if you will have your picture taken inside PRC. Personally,
the quality of the picture is not so good. I prefer the pictures from Tronix, much
cheaper too, and I think they have a set that has passport size and 11 together so
thats Php60.00 only instead of two Php80.00 sets.
5. Cedula. Just use the cedula you used for your application. If you lost it, you can buy
again inside PRC at the www.express windows near the picture booths. Dont buy
cedula from outside PRC as those are fake.
6. Surety bond. As mentioned in a recent comment by Mr. Nestor Correa, Alpha
Insurance set up a small area in front of PRC (below the huge Carl Balita tarp).

You may get your surety bond in 10-15 minutes(thats according to them), for
Php1,950. If you get your surety bond through Ms. Lyn (mobile no.
+639303440390) like I did, the fee is only P1,800. Please provide her with your
name, address, cedula number, and phone number, and she will meet you at the
PRC with the surety bond. Just pay her when you meet.

Steps in applying for your license:

Get the Panunumpa ng Propesyunal Form from the Public Assistance Center
(near the entrance). Please see attached: oath form. Fill it up and stick one passport
size picture.
Buy two (2) Documentary Stamps from the doc stamps windows. Prepare
Php42.00 as the doc stamps are Php21.00 each. The girl will stick one doc stamp on
the Form and give one to you. I wasnt paying attention so the wind blew away my
doc stamp and I had to buy again.
Go to the 3rd floor of the annex building. Take the stairs beside the coop store or
the elevator near the coop store. When you get to the 3rd floor, turn left if you used
the stairs. If you used the elevator, just go straight.
Verification. When you get inside the room for Real Estate Service, on the left side
nearest to the door, there is a Verification Table. Get your PERRC Form (we filled this
out during application). My husbands friend said that you can see your exam grades
there, but I wouldnt know because I didnt look at it intently.
Payment. Pay Php1,050.00 at the Cashier.
Proceed to registration. Approach the tables at the right side of the door you
entered. There is no clear line. Just get behind a person who is signing the forms and
take his/her place when he/she is done
Fill-up the form. The person there will let you sign and fill out a form. There are
around five new brokers per form; one line is allotted for each new broker. Fill out the
line allotted to you, back to back. Stick one 11 picture and affix your right
thumbmark.
Give the brown envelope. The person there will get your brown envelope. Write
your name on the envelope (In my case, she wrote my name so I was not able to
check if its surname first, but I think thats the best practice). She put one doc stamp
inside and I think the one passport size picture also.
If you dont have a surety bond yet. When I applied last April 8, I still did not
have my surety bond so the person just gave me the claim slip stating that I could
claim my license at the Oath taking, but she put HOLD on my claim slip. When we
came back yesterday, we met Ms. Lyn to get my surety bond, and I submitted it at
Window 27 of the main building of the PRC. This is in the light blue building where we
submitted our application forms, at the leftmost side, near the Food Court (there is a
door through the Food Court). If you have your surety bond already, I suppose you
can submit it together with your brown envelope.
Next, I fell in line for the Oath taking ticket, its Php750.00 per ticket for both
the broker and the guest. I think the formal oath taking is not necessary though,

since in the sheet that you will sign for the Php750.00 ticket, it states that your
attendance is voluntary only.
