Frequently asked questions

What is RA 1080 eligibility?
RA 1080 eligibility is the Civil Service eligibility the CSC automatically grants to anyone who passes a PRC licensure (board) exam or the Bar. It is equivalent to CSC Professional eligibility and lets you apply for professional-level government positions (Salary Grade 11 and up) without taking the Civil Service Exam.
Is passing a board exam the same as Civil Service eligibility?
Yes. Under Republic Act 1080, passing any PRC board exam (such as the LET, NLE, or CPALE) or the Bar automatically makes you Civil Service eligible at the Professional level — you do not need to take the CSE separately.
How do I get an RA 1080 certificate of eligibility?
Apply for an RA 1080 Certificate of Eligibility at the Civil Service Commission using your PRC ID and supporting documents. Processing typically takes about one to four weeks.
