Passport-sized photos with nametag on white background
Original and photocopy of any government ID
Original and photocopy of PRC license
Surety bond (premium worth P20, 000.00 valid for 3 years: PRC and HLURB for broker; PRC for appraiser; no surety bond for consultants, assessors and salespersons)

RENEWAL AT SM MALLS

Because of some internal concerns, PRBRES has advised the satellite renewal centers in all SM Malls to NOT ACCEPT any renewal for real estate professions: broker, appraiser, consultant, assessor and salesperson.  Register at the Housing Land Use Regulatory Board to sell low-cost housing properties and condominium projects. To register, you need to download the application form from their website (see Resources). You will need a copy of the application form, 1 x 1 ID pictures, an updated Real Estate Broker Certificate, Surety Bond Proof of Education Attainment or the latest National Bureau of Investigation or Regional Trial Court clearance Cash Bond and the processing fee (see Resources).

Good Luck!!!
