What is DepEd LRN (Learner Reference Number)?
Learner Reference Number (LRN) is a unique and permanent 12-digit number assigned to anyone enrolled on the Philippine Basic Education System. It serves as a national student identification number in the Philippines. This applies regardless of the learner’s transfer to another school or learning center in the public or private sector, and promotion/moving up to the secondary level.
LRN Format (K-12)
Policies on DepEd LRN
Only the following institutions are authorized to issue LRN to learners (DO No. 52, s. 2016)
- Public Schools
- Private schools licensed by DepEd
- ALS Community Learning Centers
Every learner in the basic education system can possess only one permanent and perpetual LRN. The DepEd Central Office and the Regional Offices cannot issue LRN to new learners, and will not disclose an existing LRN. The learner receives their LRN immediately upon first entry to Kinder, Grade 1 (Kindergarten Catch-Up Education Program/KCEP), and ALS. LRN issues to learners in Grade 1 (non-KCEP) to grade 12 require approval from the Division Office thru LIS. Claiming of LRN is free of charge.
DepEd LRN Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Learner Reference Number (LRN) is a unique and permanent 12-digit number assigned to anyone enrolled on the Philippine Basic Education System. It serves as a national student identification number in the Philippines. This applies regardless of the learner’s transfer to another school or learning center in the public or private sector, and promotion/moving up to the secondary level.
An issue of multiple LRN happens when the school or other school created another LRN of a single learner who already had an existing LRN with different data sets. The data of these two or more LRNs pertaining to a single learner should be merged into one.
To resolve this, the school should fill out RF01 or Request Form 01 – Template for Reporting Multiple LRN. A birth certificate and Form 137/138 are also required if there are any discrepancies in data like birthdate, name, previous school enrollment., etc.
Send the RF01 to the respective Division/Region. “School must submit the issues to the Division Office. Regional Office to filter, consolidate, endorse and encoding issues in the online form.”
The oldest created LRN would prevail. The system can detect which LRN was created first.
The private school should still confirm the transfer out request in LIS from the receiving school and thick the checkbox (With Unsettled Account). This way, the private school can still track the learner in another school without hindering enrolment.
For public schools, the learner must be 5 years old on or before August 31, 2019.
For private schools, the learner must be 5 years old on or before October 31, 2019.
(As per DO No. 20, S. 2018)
No, the school should request for the reactivation of the LRN by filling out RF 02 – Request Form 02 Template for Enrolment with Data Issues.
“School must submit the issues to the Division Office. Regional Office to filter, consolidate, endorse and encode issues in the online form.”
It is the school’s responsibility to resolve or escalate any LIS issues concerning a learner.
Schools must escalate the issue first to their respective Division. Divisions or Regions can log the issue to the ICTS-USD Ticketing System thru an online form accessible only to the Planning Officers. A system-generated ticket number will be issued to the email provided.
