Before hiring a mechanical engineer for a construction, manufacturing, or power plant project, companies must verify that the candidate’s license is active and not suspended or revoked. Hiring an engineer with a delinquent license puts the company at legal risk for professional negligence claims.

This is the primary tool for the public. It allows individuals to verify a professional's identity and license status.

This tutorial explains how to locate, interpret, and use the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) lists related to Mechanical Engineers in the Philippines, including licensed professionals, board exam results, and related registry data. Assumptions: you want publicly available PRC data for legitimate professional, hiring, verification, or research purposes.

The PRC list indicates who has complied with CPD units. Engineers who fail to earn the required CPD points are removed from the "Active" list and placed under "Delinquent" or "Suspended" status.
