PRC ID Renewal is required every 3 years to maintain professional licensed status.
Requirements:
- CPD compliance (units per cycle)
- Renewal fee payment
- Updated personal information
- No pending administrative cases
Application options:
- Online via PRC LERIS

Common timing:

Common pitfalls:
- Forgetting CPD planning early in cycle
- Last-minute scramble for CPD credits
- Missing renewal entirely (license becomes inactive)
- Multiple license holders managing multiple cycles
What it means for you:
