The PNP Entrance Examination is an important test for individuals who wish to join the Philippine National Police (PNP) as uniformed personnel. This exam is designed to evaluate applicants’ knowledge, skills, and aptitude in various areas such as reasoning, communication, and general knowledge.
The PNP Entrance Examination is administered by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM), which is the agency responsible for overseeing the recruitment and training of PNP personnel.
With that being said, to be able to apply for the PNP Entrance Examination, you must register first on Napolcom Online Registration Information System (NORIS).
NORIS Registration Process
If you’re looking to join the Philippine National Police (PNP), one of the first steps you’ll need to take is to apply for the NAPOLCOM NORIS exam. NORIS stands for National Online Recruitment and Selection Information System, and it is the online portal used by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) to manage the recruitment and selection process for PNP personnel. We’ll walk you through the steps on how to apply for the NAPOLCOM NORIS exam.
Step 1: Go to the NAPOLCOM NORIS website
To get started, go directly to the NAPOLCOM NORIS website at napolcom-noris.org. Alternatively, you can also access the website through the link found on the NAPOLCOM Facebook page or the NAPOLCOM website.
Step 2: Register an account
Once you’re on the NORIS website, click the “Register Here” button to create an account. You will need to provide your personal details such as your name, email address, and contact number.
Step 3: Read the Data Privacy Notice

Step 10: Pay Examination Fee
A “FOR PAYMENT” validation status will appear in the dashboard, and you will be advised to proceed to the Regional Office for the payment of the examination fee and for the submission of one (1) legal-size window envelope with a P21.00 worth of stamp. The examination fee varies depending on the examination category you’re applying for:
