But first you must know how to register your application through NAPOLCOM Online Registration Information System (NORIS).
For this November 2023-2024 exam, the National Police Commission will be implementing the new NAPOLCOM online registration information system (NORIS) for the online filling, submission and printing out of an electronic application form to expedite the processing of the application. In this article, we’ll walk you through the NAPOLCOM online application process.
According to NAPOLCOM, the NORIS (previously called OLEASS) allows entrance exam applicants to choose the examination center where they want to take the exam regardless of their place of residence. But for the promotional exam applicants, the examination center is automatically assigned by the computer system based on the home address or unit/assignment address provided by the police applicants.
The PNP Entrance Examination is open to all natural born Filipino citizens; must not be less than 21 years old nor more than 30 years old and; bachelor’s degree holder.
Is there a height requirement prior to the test?
According to NAPOLCOM, police examinations will no longer have height requirement for as long as applicants have a bachelor’s degree and are not more than 30 years old. Further, the said examinations are distinct and separate from the general qualifications for Patrolman/Patrolwoman (Pat/PO1).
Is it possible to take the Napolcom Entrance Exam if you are over 30 years old?
No, the examinee must not be more than 30 years old.
You have two options for obtaining eligibility: take the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Exam or the Professional Career Service Examination (CSC) Exam, both of which are open to anyone over the age of 30.
NAPOLCOM ONLINE APPLICATION (Step-by-Step Process)
Step 1. Visit the NAPOLCOM WEBSITE or NAPOLCOM ONLINE
REGISTRATION INFORMATION SYSTEM (NORIS) (activated on October 6, 2023-2024 at 12nn) Read the instruction carefully and take your time to make sure you understand exactly what you have to do (Don’t rush!). Scroll down to the bottom until you see the blue Proceed button, then click/hit that button.
Step 2. Fill-out the required personal information, re-check your information and click the CREATE NEW ACCOUNT button once you’re finished. Make sure to select your category, whether you are taking the exam as Civilian or PNP personnel.
After creating an account, go back to the log-in page (https://napolcom-noris.org/) and use your email address or mobile number to sign in. Then click Login.
Step 3. Edit your personal information, address information, education information and upload the required documents.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is better to use a desktop computer for processing your application online. Once you have uploaded and submitted the document, you cannot edit or remove any information, including the uploaded documents. If you incorrectly encoded your information or wrongfully uploaded any documents after submission, the best remedy is to wait for your rejection or disapproval (validating documents may take 1 to 2 working days). That way, you avoid a double entry. After rejection, re-submit the correct information or upload the required documents.
Once you’ve completed encoding the required information, all the documents you have submitted or uploaded will be validated by the NAPOLCOM Regional Office.
If the NAPOLCOM Regional Office verified the scanned documents you uploaded, it will show the available testing centers and an “Apply” button.
On your NORIS profile, click apply examination button and select region, testing center, examination category and examination date. Then click Apply Button to submit your application.
For payment validation, the status will appear in the dashboard (or your NORIS profile), and the applicant will be directed to the NAPOLCOM Regional Office to pay the examination fee for the examination for which he or she applied.
Once their exam applications are approved, applicants will then have 48 hours to pay the corresponding exam fees at their NAPOLCOM Regional Office. Failure to pay the examination fee within the given 48-hour period will result in the forfeiture of his/her application slot.
Step 3. Print out the Notice of Admission (NOA) and Examinee Profile (EP)
Once payment has been validated, the FOR EXAMINATION status and Print NOA buttons are shown. The NORIS will generate a Notice of Admission (NOA) and Examinee Profile (EP), which you should print. Take note that NOA and EP will be collected by the proctor on the day of the examination.
