NAPOLCOM exam testing centers in Region II.
The NAPOLCOM examinations are administered in the Cagayan Valley through the National Police Commission's regional office in Tuguegarao City. Every applicant registers online, then goes to that office in person for on-site processing before the Notice of Admission is issued. This page covers what applicants in Region II should know: where the office is, where venues are typically located, how to get there, the local weather to plan around, and how to prepare once your slot is confirmed.

Where venues are in Region II, and getting there
The Region II office is in Tuguegarao City, the regional center at the northern end of the valley. Isabela is the region's most populous province and a long trip from Tuguegarao by road; Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino sit at the southern end. Batanes is only reachable by air, and applicants from the islands should plan to be on the mainland well before their processing date and the exam.
NAPOLCOM doesn't publish a fixed list of Region II venues — testing sites are named in each examination announcement and can change between sittings depending on capacity and the schools available, and the exact venue and room are on each applicant's Notice of Admission. When you register online you choose this regional office; NAPOLCOM then assigns your specific site, which may not be the city nearest your home. Your notice is the only authoritative source, so check it the moment it's issued.
Slots & registration
Isabela generates the most applicants in the region. Processing capacity is centered on Tuguegarao, so allow a full day for the trip from the southern provinces.
Weather to plan around
Cagayan Valley is one of the most typhoon-exposed parts of the country; storms crossing northern Luzon regularly close roads in Cagayan and Isabela and cancel flights to Batanes. Check advisories a week out and build in a buffer.
Notes for Region II examinees
- Regional office: NAPOLCOM Regional Office No. 2, Tuguegarao City.
- Batanes applicants must fly to the mainland. Book early and allow for weather cancellations.
- Isabela to Tuguegarao is a long road trip; plan an overnight stay for early appointments.
