Use PRC's notice for the published outcome
PRC reported 3,611 passers out of 8,162 examinees for February 2026 and 28,652 passers out of 37,359 examinees for the August and September 2026 NLE. The February notice recorded four withheld results and the combined August-September notice recorded 21 withheld results, pending final determination.
These are aggregate figures in official notices. They do not establish an individual's result; use PRC's official result link and verification process for that purpose.

Follow PRC's registration instruction after a pass
The result notices direct successful examinees to PRC's online registration process for the Professional Identification Card and Certificate of Registration, including the system-generated registration form and a valid government-issued ID where stated.
The result notices say the oathtaking date and venue will be announced later. Keep that announcement separate from the result publication.
