Today, I’d like to share to everyone that I have just renewed my NBI Clearance. So for all the newbies and NBI Renewal applicants who don’t know how to do, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered!
I don’t want to bore you with a long winded explanation of the instruction. As much as possible, I want this tutorial to be as quick and easy guide on NBI Renewal that can be easily be followed by the newbies and NBI Clearance Applicants.
Before we begin, I’d like to mention that in this process, we will be doing an online NBI Renewal and a Door to Door delivery service which the NBI Clearance website. We won’t be doing the NBI Online Appointment steps where we need to set an appointment and requires to appear at the chosen NBI Branch.
Since this is just a renewal and I assume that you already have an NBI Clearance Account, the registration steps are no longer needed.
NBI Clearance Renewal Processing
To start our NBI Renewal application, we need to go to the official website of NBI Clearance. In your browser, type in clearance.nbi.gov.ph and hit enter!
When the website is loaded, find the box that says “NBI Clearance Online Renewal” then there’s a “CLICK HERE” button. You can see the what you’re looking for in the screenshot below.
Notice that there’s a note there? Its asking you “Is your NBI Clearance Expired or Expiring? Renew it and get it delivered door-to-door! (October 16, 2016).”
The message is self explanatory right?
Lucky for the NBI Renewal applicants, NBI Clearance now offers the Door-to-Door Delivery option where all you have to do is “file” or submit your application and just wait for it to arrived at your delivery address.
But if you still prefer to go to the NBI Branch to handle or process your NBI Renewal, you can still do that selecting the Pick Up option.
Anyway, going back to our tutorial, press the “CLICK HERE” button shown in the screenshot above.
It will open a small window which asks you to fill out personal information. Provide the necessary details such as your Old NBI ID Number, Mobile Number, your complete name and Date of Birth.
Make sure to enter all the details correctly because the entire NBI Renewal process depends on this step.
If you are wondering where are your going to get your OLD NBI ID Number, it’s easy! You can find it in your printed NBI Clearance. See the image below so you’ll have an idea.
Once you have completed filling out the NBI Renewal form, press the “Verify” button to submit.
Make sure to enter all the details correctly because the entire NBI Renewal process depends on this step.
If you have encountered an error like the screenshot below, even if you double check your NBI ID Number and all the personal information for correctness, the problem here is your NBI ID Number.
The issue here is that not all NBI ID Numbers are stored in the NBI Clearance Database. It was mentioned and shown earlier in my screenshot that this NBI Renewal feature is only available for NBI Clearance issued on October 2016 onwards.
But I see and heard cases that NBI Applicants who have recent NBI Clearance dated 3 years ago encountered this error.
This simply means that the NBI Clearance issued for the past years are not 100% retrievable in the database and those NBI Renewal Applicants can’t avail this NBI Renewal Online Service.
Going back to our tutorial, right after you have pressed the “Verify” button and you don’t encountered any errors, you will be directed to this page where you need to verify your identity by entering the required information.
You are asked to select verification option you want to provide. There are three (3) verification options you can choose, these are:
Mother’s Information
Mobile Number used during your registration
Email Address used during registration
I recommend that you select the Mother’s Information verification option because you can never be wrong with the name and birth place of your mother.
You can still select the other two (Mobile Number or email address used during the last registration) in verifying your NBI Renewal.
When you select the Mother’s Information, the page will ask you to fill out the name of your mother and her birth place. Enter these details correctly and then press “Verify” to submit.
This is the stage where you need to pay for your NBI Clearance Fee. The next page will show you the amount you are going to pay. It will also ask you to select from the payment option.
Notice that in the image below, the amount of NBI Clearance Fee is P130.00. Take note that an additional P25 will be added as “e-payment service fee”. That means the total NBI Clearance Application Fee for P155.00.
Take note also the NBI Branch shown in the screen. This is important information if you are going to just pick up your NBI Clearance and opt out for the door to door delivery.
Now, in the selection of payment option. For this tutorial, We will select GCash as the mode of payment. Press the GCash icon.
A small pop out window will appear. Carefully read it because it is important.
The pop out window simply says:
1. An NBI Renewal Reference Number will be generated after you press the “Proceed to Payment” button.
2. You must use GCash App in paying your NBI Clearance Fee.
3. In paying your NBI Clearance Fee, you must use your NBI Renewal Reference number.
If these instructions are not clear to you, don’t worry. We will discuss each item later on. To continue, press the “Proceed to Payment” button.
The NBI Renewal Reference number will be shown in a small window. Take a screenshot of this or take a photo or copy it on a piece of paper. The NBI Renewal Reference Number is very crucial information to your NBI Renewal application. If you lost it, you won’t be able to proceed with the payment of your NBI Clearance Fee.
DO NOT PRESS THE PROCEED BUTTON YET!
Now that you have a copy of the NBI Renewal Reference Number, we will temporarily leave the NBI Clearance Online website and I want you to get your mobile phone and open the GCash App.
To keep you in the loop, we are now going to pay for your NBI Clearance Renewal Fees.
NBI Clearance Fee Payment in GCASH
Open your GCash app and select the “Pay Bills” icon.
Using the search functionality, type “NBI”. When the logo appears, press to select it.
Fill out the details such as NBI Renewal Reference Number (the one you got from NBI Clearance Online Website), your contact number and the amount (P155.00).
Double check all the information you have entered before pressing the “Next” button above.
Press the “Confirm” text link at the upper right of your screen to finalize the payment.
This screen will be shown if the payment is successful. Take a screenshot of this screen for future reference.
This means that you are done in paying your NBI Renewal Fees. You may now close your GCASH App and return to the NBI Clearance website.
We return to the NBI Clearance website where we left it. This time, the NBI Clearance Fee is paid already. You may now select for the Delivery method.
At the bottom, you will notice the sentence asking you a question.
“How would you like your clearance to be delivered?”
You have two options:
Pick up in NBI Branch
Door To Door Delivery
We will have a separate discussion on these two delivery option.
NBI Renewal Door to Door Delivery
During these time of pandemic, people are not in the mood to go outside. Most people tend to have their NBI Renewal Clearance delivered to their houses.
Right after you pressed the “Proceed” button, you will get this small window. You have the freedom to read it. Then press “I Agree”.
You will be redirected to the website of the third party service provider who handles the claiming and delivery of your NBI Clearance. The third party service provider is DeliveryBox.ph.
The first thing that you will see is their Terms and Condition & Data Privacy. Again, you have the choice to read it or not. When you’re done, just press the “Agree” button at the bottom.
After pressing the Agree button, it will show you the Delivery Fees if you are within NCR amounting to P200.00 and P350.00 if outside NCR.
It’s best to get their mobile numbers and email address so you easily contact them whenever you need to.

Press the “Proceed” button.
The DeliveryBox form will be presented to you.
For this step, all you need to do is fill out the necessary information such as your Complete Name, Address and Mobile Number.
You are also required to pin your delivery location. Use the search functionality to find your delivery address and “pin” the location marker.
Press the “Proceed” button to move the payment of Delivery Fee.
The next page will ask you to select the Payment Method. I already mentioned earlier that we are going to use GCASH so from the icons in the payment method, press “eWallets” to show the list of the eWallets available.
It is important that you have enought GCash balance before proceeding. Make sure that you have P207 (if you are within NCR) or P307 is (you are outside NCR)
Press the “Proceed” button to move to the actual payment of your NBI Renewal Delivery Fee. You will be diverted to this page where you need to enter you GCash Mobile Number.
Enter your GCash mobile number correctly and press the Next button.
Note: The GCash Mobile number is the mobile number you used in registering your GCash account.
The GCash website will send a 6-Digit authentication code to your registered mobile number. Enter it in the space provided.
You will receive a confirmation text that the payment of your delivery is successful.
For some weird reasons, we are hearing from our readers that they don’t receive any text confirmation from NBI (image of text message above). If that’s the case, don’t worry because its fine. As long as you have the confirmation from GCash and you have the screenshot of the receipt, you’re good!
To be honest, NBI Renewal is not that complicated when you learn how to do it right the right way. If you are still thinking of people who repeatedly fail to renew their NBI Clearance, then this article is for you.

Take note of the NBI Reference Number that will be shown to you.
IMPORTANT: The NBI Reference Number will be used when paying your NBI Clearance Online Application. This will be also asked to by the NBI Clearance Staff when you are processing your NBI Clearance when you go to the Branch.

From My Own Personal Experience
Diving into the NBI appointment process was a breeze for me, thanks to scheduling everything online. This article’s step-by-step guide? Pretty much nailed what I went through, making it super straightforward to navigate. Honestly, getting my NBI Appointment on the calendar was a 10-minute task – that’s probably because my NBI Clearance Online account was already up and running, so logging in was a snap.
On a personal note, if you’re looking at payment options, I can’t recommend GCASH or Maya enough. It’s a total win for us applying, making the whole payment thing not just easy, but also quick and secure. A pro tip? Keep a screenshot of your payment proof. It’s your safety net if you need to show proof during your NBI branch visit.
Conclusion on NBI Appointment
That’s about it! You have just learned how to schedule an NBI Appointment quickly and efficiently.
As you can see, most of your items that need to be discussed and all the issues have already been solved by this post, plus, you got an interesting story to tell whenever you someone you know is asking how you can schedule an NBI Appointment!
Going through the whole process of updating my NBI Clearance online turned out to be way easier than I thought it would be. Honestly, it was just a matter of hitting up their website, clicking through a few pop-ups (you know, the usual “we care about your privacy” spiel), and getting down to the nitty-gritty of filling out my info.
It felt pretty chill, almost like ordering takeout online. Just popped in my details, chose how I wanted to get my clearance—decided to have it delivered because, let’s face it, who wants to step out when you don’t have to? Paying was a breeze, too. It’s just like buying anything else online, and before I knew it, I was all set.
They even had a way to track the delivery, so I wasn’t left in the dark wondering when it would show up. It’s kinda cool how straightforward everything was, no fancy terms or complicated steps. Just fill in, pay up, and wait for the delivery. Makes you appreciate how some things have just gotten simpler.
Once you’re there, a pop-up will show up talking about privacy stuff. It’s pretty standard, so if you’re not up for a read, just hit “I AGREE” to move on.
Next, you’ll see a notice pop up. It’s a good idea to check it out; it’s got some important info. If you’re not sure what to look out for, there’s a screenshot below that should help.
When you’re done with that, just close the pop-up. Now, you’re looking for an orange button that says “NBI Clearance Online Renewal”. There’s a screenshot below to make spotting it easier. In that section, you’ll see a “Click Here” button.
Give that button a click to start off your NBI Clearance renewal. A window will pop up asking for some details: your old NBI ID number, mobile number (they’ll send updates via SMS), your full name, and your birth date.
Okay, we’re moving on to filling out that form. First up, grab your old NBI Clearance because you’ll need the Old NBI No. from there. Enter that NBI ID number into the form, paying attention to the mix of letters, numbers, and dashes. Then, just fill in the rest – your mobile, full name, and birth date.
Press the “Verify” button once you’ve got everything in there.
If you see a warning notice at the bottom, don’t stress. There’s a link saying “Recover NBI ID” right above where you entered your old NBI number. Click on it; it’s there to help you get back your NBI ID using the details you provide.
After clicking “Recover NBI ID,” you’ll see a new window asking for your name and how you’d like to recover your ID. You’ve got two choices: email or mobile number. Pick the one that fits your situation best. If your mobile number hasn’t changed since you last registered, that might be the easiest way to go. IMG 7.0 – Recover NBI ID
Now, fill in your first and last name, and decide whether you’re going to use your email or mobile for recovery. Once you’ve got that sorted, press “Recover” to get your NBI ID back.
You’ll know right away if it worked because you’ll see a success message. Plus, the NBI will send you an SMS with your NBI Clearance Number. There’s a screenshot below that shows what it looks like.
Back to our walkthrough. With your NBI Clearance Number in hand, you can fill in the form again and press “Verify.” This moves you on to the next part.
When it comes to verification, you’ll have a few options: your mother’s details, your email, or your mobile number. I’m sticking with my mobile number since it’s been the same one I’ve always used.
If everything goes smoothly, you’ll be greeted with a preview showing all the details about you – who you are, how to contact you, family background, and your educational background.
But here’s a word of caution: if you’re looking to modify any bit of your info, like changing up your address or updating your marital status, STOP! This tutorial is only for those looking to renew without any edits. Want to change some details? That’s a whole other guide for you. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find a checkbox that basically says, “I confirm and certify that the details are correct.” Check it if you’ve double-checked your info, then press “Continue” to keep the ball rolling. IMG 11 – NBI Clearance Form Renewal Confirmation
Now, you’re at a crossroads about how to get your NBI Clearance: either have it sent directly to you or go fetch it yourself.
Let’s dive into the pick-up option first. It involves a bit more elbow grease – verifying your NBI Clearance is ready for pick up or setting an NBI Clearance Appointment, then going to a specified NBI Clearance Branch location with your payment receipt. Between us, this method can be a bit of a hassle. It’s not my go-to because of the hassle.
On the flip side, getting it delivered is as easy as pie. Just provide your address, and then all that’s left is to wait. The downside? It’ll cost you a bit more because of the delivery charge. But for ease and convenience, we’re going with the delivery option. Click “Door-To-Door Delivery” and then “Proceed.”
Next up, a disclaimer pops onto the screen. In essence, it tells you that by opting for delivery, you’re letting the NBI hand off your clearance to a courier. Plus, you’re giving the NBI a pass on any data privacy issues that might arise. Tap “I Agree” if you’re cool with that.
Then, you’re hit with another round of terms and conditions. If you’re itching to get this over with, just hit “I Agree” once more.
Last but not least, smash that “Proceed” button for the umpteenth time, and voilà, you’re done. Your part’s over, and now it’s just waiting game for your clearance to show up.
You’ve made it to the final stretch – the delivery form appears, and you’re given a delivery number. Here, you need to fill in your details so the courier knows exactly where to bring your NBI Clearance. You’ll be asked for the receiver’s full name, mobile number, address, email, and delivery address.
Next up, you’re going to pinpoint your delivery address on the map provided. If you’ve used apps like Grab or Lalamove before, this part will feel familiar. It’s pretty straightforward.
Once you have completed that, there’s a box at the bottom of the page showing you a very long Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and asking you to agree to it. Check that box, then click the “Proceed” button.
Now, it’s time to take care of the payment for both the renewal of your NBI Clearance and the delivery fee. On the left side of the screen, you’ll see your transaction details, including the base amount of P360. On the right, you’ll find various payment options. I’ve personally used VISA, Mastercard, and PayMaya for payments before.
For this guide, I’ll choose Maya (previously known as PayMaya) as the payment method. Selecting it will generate a QRPh QR code that you can scan or upload through the app.
You’ll receive both an SMS and an email notification about the transaction, but you can overlook these since they just repeat the payment instructions. IMG 24 – NBI Clearance Renewal Door to Door Delivery Payment Confirmation sent to SMS
Using the Maya app, scan or upload the QR Code to cover your NBI Clearance fees. The total will slightly increase from P360 to P366 due to a service fee charged by Maya. Remember to screenshot your payment receipt for your records. IMG 27 – Maya App payment to NBI Clearance Renewal Door to Door Delivery
After your payment from Maya is successfully processed, you will get an email confirmation. Hold onto this email until your NBI Clearance arrives or delivered at your delivery address. IMG 28 – NBI Clearance Renewal Door to Door Delivery DeliveryBox Notification
In the email, there’s a track and trace link that allows you to monitor the status of your NBI Clearance delivery. Clicking this link directs you to a page where you can see your order number, delivery number, the courier assigned, and the progress of your delivery. Initially, some details might be blank, such as the courier, since your NBI Clearance hasn’t been processed yet. However, as long as your NBI Clearance Reference number is linked in the email, you can rest assured it will be processed.
Important reminder, the delivery of your NBI Clearance can take anywhere from 5 to 15 working days, that is depending on your location.
Conclusion on my experience in NBI Clearance Online Renewal
So, finishing up here, getting your NBI Clearance renewed online is super easy, especially if you’re not planning to change any info. Seriously, you can do it from your couch or anywhere else you’ve got internet. And it’s quick, too—just about 20 to 30 minutes and you’re done, which is pretty awesome.
Now, if you bump into trouble with your NBI ID, that might slow you down a bit. But once you get past that, it’s smooth sailing. Everything from the get-go, like jumping on the official site to decide whether you want your clearance mailed to you or if you’d rather pick it up, is made simple. Not having to actually go to an NBI office is a huge plus.
Going for the delivery option makes things even easier, avoiding any lines. Sure, it costs a bit more, but for the convenience, many find it’s worth the extra. Plus, paying is a breeze with options like Maya, so you can handle it all online.
From what I’ve gone through, renewing the NBI Clearance online isn’t just about dodging the hassle of going out. It’s really about how cool it is that tech can make these kinds of tasks so much smoother. The best part is knowing that if you keep your details the same, getting your NBI Clearance updated is just a matter of a few clicks.

It serves as a badge of honor, demonstrating your commitment to upholding the law and adhering to societal norms.
Think of it as a key that unlocks a world of opportunities. Employers, particularly in sensitive sectors like finance, education, and government, seek individuals of impeccable character, and NBI Clearance is their trusted instrument to safeguard their organizations and maintain high ethical standards.
Imagine yourself applying for a teaching position. Schools entrust their most precious assets – their students – to the care and guidance of their educators. NBI Clearance serves as a protective shield, ensuring that those entrusted with shaping young minds are individuals of irreproachable moral standing.
Even beyond the professional realm, NBI Clearance extends its reach into your personal life. It influences your ability to acquire firearms licenses, apply for visas, and even engage in international travel. It’s a testament to your commitment to upholding the law and being a responsible citizen.
Now, let’s talk about the application process. It’s not as daunting as it might seem. The NBI has made it convenient and accessible, with both online and in-person options. Gather the necessary documents, fill out the forms, and you’re on your way to obtaining this valuable certificate.

Understanding NBI Clearance
In the Philippines, where opportunities abound and aspirations soar, NBI Clearance Online emerges as a crucial step towards personal and professional advancement. This government-issued certificate, administered by the esteemed National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), serves as a testament to an individual’s clean criminal record, paving the way for a myriad of endeavors.
Picture this: you’ve just graduated from college, brimming with dreams and aspirations for the future. As you embark on your job search, you encounter a common requirement – NBI Clearance. You might wonder, what’s that? Why is it so important?
Well, let’s break it down for you. NBI Clearance, often referred to as “police clearance” or “background check,” is an official document that verifies your lack of any criminal convictions or pending cases in the Philippines. It’s your personal stamp of credibility, demonstrating your commitment to upholding the law and adhering to societal norms.
Imagine yourself applying for a teaching position. Schools entrust their most precious assets – their students – to the care and guidance of their educators. NBI Clearance serves as a protective shield, ensuring that those entrusted with shaping young minds are individuals of irreproachable moral standing.
Even beyond the professional realm, NBI Clearance extends its reach into your personal life. It influences your ability to acquire firearms licenses, apply for visas, and even engage in international travel. It’s a testament to your commitment to upholding the law and being a responsible citizen.
Now, let’s unravel the concept of a “criminal record.” Your criminal record is a comprehensive history of any criminal offenses you may have been convicted of in the Philippines. It includes details about the offense, the date of conviction, and the penalty imposed. NBI Clearance, therefore, serves as a declaration that your criminal record is clean, showcasing your adherence to the law and your commitment to being a law-abiding citizen.
To further clarify, let’s differentiate between NBI Clearance and other types of clearances, such as police clearance or barangay clearance. While they may sound similar, each serves a distinct purpose.
Police clearance, primarily issued by the Philippine National Police (PNP), focuses on criminal records specifically within the area of jurisdiction of the issuing station. Barangay clearance, on the other hand, is issued by the barangay captain and certifies your residency and good standing within the barangay.
NBI Clearance, however, holds a broader scope. It encompasses criminal records throughout the entire Philippines, making it a more comprehensive evaluation of your criminal history. It’s the preferred clearance for employment, travel, and other purposes that require a thorough background check.
In conclusion, NBI Clearance stands as an indispensable tool for Filipinos, empowering them to demonstrate their personal responsibility, ethical conduct, and commitment to upholding the law. It’s a key that unlocks a world of opportunities, paving the way for personal and professional fulfillment. As you navigate the intricacies of modern life, embrace the importance of NBI Clearance and let it serve as your beacon of trust and credibility.
You can obtain most of the required IDs from the issuing agency. For example, you can get your SSS ID from the Social Security System, your Philhealth ID from the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and your Voter’s ID from the Commission on Elections.
You can also get your NSO / PSA-Authenticated Birth Certificate from the National Statistics Office or the Philippine Statistics Authority. If you are a foreigner, you can get your Alien Certificate of Registration from the Bureau of Immigration.
Once you have gathered all of the required IDs, you can start preparing them for your NBI Clearance application. Make sure that your IDs are in good condition and that they are all valid. You may also need to photocopy your IDs.
Please note that the requirements for NBI Clearance renewals are the same as those for new applicants.

Validity and Usage of NBI Clearance
An NBI Clearance is valid for one year from the date of issuance. This means that the certificate can be used for any purpose within that one-year period. After the validity period expires, the certificate is no longer considered valid and will not be accepted for any purpose.
Implications of an Expired NBI Clearance
Using an expired NBI Clearance is considered invalid and may have consequences, including:
Denial of employment or application for a professional license
Delays in processing documents or applications
Legal issues if presented during legal proceedings
To maintain the validity of your NBI Clearance, it is essential to renew it before the one-year period expires. The renewal process is relatively straightforward and can be done online or in person at an NBI branch.

Business licenses for operating a business in the Philippines
Firearm licenses for owning or possessing a firearm
Without a valid NBI Clearance, the application for these licenses or registrations will likely be denied.

For a “HIT,” the NBI will conduct further verification to confirm your identity and distinguish you from the person with a similar name or details. This typically takes 10 to 15 working days, during which you might need to provide additional information or documents to resolve any discrepancies.
If there’s no “HIT,” you’ll be directed to the RELEASING SECTION of the NBI Clearance, where you can collect your freshly printed NBI Clearance. Just wait for your name to be called, and it will be ready for collection.

Congratulations on receiving your NBI Clearance! For some, this marks the completion of the entire process, but if you find yourself with a “hit” status, unfortunately, there’s a bit more to do.

In empowering individuals with knowledge about the NBI Clearance, we contribute to a society built on transparency and accountability, where the NBI not only investigates crimes but also serves as a custodian of trust for the Filipino people.
In the heart of the Philippines’ justice system lies a formidable force – the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). A beacon of hope, a guardian of justice, and a symbol of relentless pursuit, the NBI stands as the nation’s sentinel against crime and corruption. Let’s unravel the layers of history, purpose, and the formidable mandate that makes the NBI an indispensable pillar of the Philippines.
A Glimpse into NBI History
In the wake of World War II’s aftermath, the Philippines found itself grappling with a surge in criminal activities. The need for a robust investigative agency became paramount. Thus, on June 19, 1947, Republic Act No. 157 gave birth to the Bureau of Investigation (BI), later evolving into the National Bureau of Investigation we know today.
Modelled after the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the NBI emerged as a response to the growing complexity of organized crime. Brave men and women, inspired by the vision of President Manuel L. Quezon and Secretary of Justice José Yulo, laid the foundation for an institution that would become a cornerstone in the pursuit of justice.
Mandate and Mission
The NBI’s mandate is as vast and diverse as the archipelago it serves. From tackling extrajudicial killings to combating cybercrime, the NBI stands ready to face the challenges of the modern age. Its mission is clear – to provide quality investigative and forensic services, guided by the pursuit of truth and justice.
Imagine an institution dedicated to resolving murders of justices, investigating transnational crimes, and identifying victims of natural disasters – the NBI does all that and more.
Organizational Symphony
At the helm of this powerhouse is the Director, an appointee of the President, leading a symphony of services that include Investigation, Intelligence, Comptroller, Human Resource, Forensic Research, Legal, and Information Technology. The recent reforms in the rank structure, courtesy of Republic Act No. 10867, have modernized the hierarchy, ensuring efficiency and adaptability.
Two Pillar Rule and Legal Adherence
The NBI’s commitment to professionalism and legality is encapsulated in the “Two Pillar Rule.” This rule ensures that every investigation is conducted with thoroughness and adherence to the law. The Legal and Evaluation Division serves as the bastion of legality, providing counsel, evaluating reports, and conducting legal research.
The Call of the Masses
But the NBI is not a distant entity – it is a partner for every Filipino. When a crime is committed or about to unfold, any aggrieved person can seek the NBI’s assistance. Valuable information about any violation of Philippine laws is welcomed, fostering a collaborative approach to justice.
Conclusion: A Guardian of Justice in the Digital Age
As the NBI strides into the future, it carries with it a legacy of resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the Filipino people. In the era of cyber threats, transnational crimes, and evolving challenges, the NBI stands tall – a world-class investigative institution, dynamic, respected, and committed to the high ideals of law and order.
In every search engine query (NBI Clearance Online), the National Bureau of Investigation stands at the forefront, a beacon of hope and justice for all.

The NBI clearance application process can be a hassle, but it is important to remember that it is a way to protect the public. By checking your records, the NBI can help to ensure that only law-abiding citizens are given the opportunity to work, travel, and live in the Philippines.
Some people might wonder why they need to go through all this trouble. Can’t people just take their word for it? The answer is no. Not everyone is honest, and there are people who would take advantage of the system if they could. By requiring an NBI clearance, the government can help to weed out these people and keep the public safe.
Of course, the NBI clearance process is not perfect. There are always cases where people are wrongly denied an NBI clearance. However, the NBI is constantly working to improve the process and make it more fair.
Overall, the NBI clearance is an important document that helps to protect the public. While it may be a hassle to get, it is a small price to pay for added peace of mind.

Getting Your WWW.NBI.GOV.PH Online Appointment—A Walkthrough:
Honestly, booking your NBI clearance appointment online is a breeze, and it saves you from the headache of possibly getting turned away as a walk-in (because, yeah, that’s not really a thing anymore). You just hop onto the NBI’s official site (www.NBI Clearance.gov.ph), find a spot that fits into your schedule, and boom, you’re pretty much done. It’s super convenient since you can do it from home or during a break at work, getting your spot in line way before you even need to think about heading out.
The whole online booking thing is a lifesaver, especially if you’re not keen on the idea of waiting in line for ages at an NBI office. By doing this, you complete all the form filling and signing up (the usual boring stuffs) online and just show up at the NBI branch when it’s actually necessary.
In this article, we will guide you on how to apply for an NBI Clearance Online. Here’s how you get started:
Step 1: Go to NBI Clearance Website
The first step in applying for an NBI clearance online is to go to the official website which is (). This is where you will find all the information you need and the application forms you need to fill out to complete your application.
Start off by visiting the official website of www.NBI.GOV.ph Online which is (http://clearance.nbi.gov.ph/). This is where you do the initial tasks. You’ll find all the forms and info you need to start things off.
Step 2: Sign Up or Log in
Got an NBI Online account already? Just log in using your registered email address and secured password. If you’re new to this and have not made any transaction with NBI Clearance online, you’ll want to click the “Register” button to create your account. It’s pretty straightforward.
Step 3: Register an Account with NBI Clearance Online
If you already have an account with NBI Online, you may skip this step and proceed to Step 5 which is Log in to your account.
For Clearance.NBI.GOV.PH Registration, you are required to provide all the personal information needed in the application form such as your complete name, address and contact information. You are also required to nominate a secure password for your account.
Step 4: Enter the OTP sent by the website
After you submit your registration form, the NBI Website will automatically generate an OTP or One-Time Password. This will be sent to your mobile number that you have entered in your registration. Enter the OTP to complete your registration.
Personal Tip: There are times that there is a delay in receiving your OTP, don’t just press that “Re-send One Time Password” button! Wait for at least three (3) minutes before you request for a new one. In my case, I made sure that the mobile signal or coverage of my phone is strong so I can receive the OTP immediately. But most of the times, it’s the website’s problem so don’t blame yourself on this.
Step 5: Log in to your account
After the registration process, you can now log in to your newly created NBI Clearance Online Account using the email address (you’ve used in the registration) and your nominated password.
Step 6: Apply for clearance
When you successfully logged in, click on the “Apply For Clearance” button. You may refer to the image below if you can’t find it. You will be redirected to the next page of the website where the important tasks will be done.
Step 7: Provide Valid ID and Reference Number
A (sort-of) pop out window will be displayed and asks you to select using the drop down the Valid ID and its reference number that you will bring during the processing of your NBI Clearance.
Press the “I Agree” button once finished.
Step 7: Select the NBI branch and date of appointment
Now, from the drop down list of NBI Branches, select the nearest branch to your location. This way, it would be more convenient to you when going to the NBI Branch when you process your NBI Clearance.
Right after that, select the date of your NBI Appointment by pressing the buttons shown in the calendar. You have two options for the time of your appointment, AM or PM.
My Personal Experience
I always select main branch of the NBI Clearance which is located at UN Avenue corner Taft Avenue. The reason for this is there are no queue lines for the online application of NBI Clearance. Also, it’s much more easier for me to go there since I am residing in Makati. It’s just one (1) bus ride from there.
Step 8: Double check your summary of transaction
Before submitting your www.nbi.gov.ph online appointment, make sure to double check the box that contains the summary of the transaction that everything is correct.
Before you proceed with the payment, check the summary of the transaction to make sure that all the information is correct. This includes the date and time of your appointment, the NBI clearance branch, and the payment amount.
What you need to check here is the “Appointment Schedule” part of the summary. Make sure that the date and the NBI Branch that you selected earlier appears on this box. If not, then change it by selecting the correct branch from the drop down list (see step 7 for details).
Step 9: Select your preferred Payment option
The next thing to do is to pay for the NBI Clearance Fees to be able to secure your NBI Online Appointment. Note that unpaid appointments are not valid. Your payment will seal the deal so make sure to pay it!
I highly recommend you to use or utilize GCash as the payment option in settling your NBI Clearance Fees. The reason for this is because GCash is very easy to use and makes the entire payment process hassle free. Do I need to justify it more why you should use GCash (Hahahaha)? But still, if you prefer using your credit cards (Visa/Master Card) or Maya (formerly known as PayMaya), you are free to do so. It’s a free country! You may choose whatever you want!
Step 10: Get the NBI clearance reference number
After you have selected the payment option (which is GCASH), you will be issued a unique NBI Clearance Reference Number. This reference number is important in the payment process of your NBI Clearance as you will use it in your GCash Application.
You may ignore the amounts shown in the screenshot. These are not final yet. The final amount will be shown in GCash which includes the NBI Clearance Fee, System Fee and the GCash Service Charge.
Take note of the NBI Clearance Reference number.
Step 11: Make the payment through the GCASH app
Now open your GCash mobile app and go the the “Pay Bills”. This is the time where you will need to enter your NBI Clearance Reference number and make the necessary payments.
This will be the final step of the NBI Clearance Online Application, hoooray! The next steps will be done at the branch where you are required to appear.
For this step, all you have to do is wait. Since you already have a confirm schedule of NBI Clearance from the branch you selected, all you have to do now is to wait for that date to arrive.
Step 13: Show up at the NBI clearance Branch
On the day of your appointment, make your way to the NBI Clearance Branch you selected when applying online. Make sure to be there on time.
Step 14: Go to the Biometrics section for Photo Capture
Once you arrive at the branch, head to the biometrics section. Here, you will be asked to present your valid ID and NBI Clearance reference number to the staff. It is important that you bring a valid ID to verify your identity.
After presenting your valid ID, you will be asked to have your photo taken. This photo will be used to complete your NBI Clearance. Make sure that you are dressed appropriately and ready for your photo to be taken.
Step 15. Have your fingerprint scanned
The next step is having your fingerprints scanned. This process is necessary to make sure that your NBI Clearance is unique to you and can’t be used by anyone else. The staff will guide you through this process and make sure that your fingerprints are properly scanned.
Step 16: Personal Information Verification
After you have completed the biometrics section, it’s important to double-check all the information you have entered to ensure that everything is correct. If you find any errors, be sure to inform the NBI Staff so they can make the necessary corrections.
Step 17: Proceed to Releasing Sections
Once you have completed the biometrics section, the staff will inform you to proceed to the releasing section of NBI Clearance.
In the releasing section, you will be asked to wait while your NBI Clearance is being printed. This process may take a few minutes, so it’s important to be patient.
Step 18: Releasing of your newly printed NBI Clearance.
Once your NBI Clearance has been printed, the staff will hand it to you. Before you leave the branch, be sure to double-check your clearance for any errors. If everything is correct, you can go home with your newly obtained NBI Clearance.
With that, the process of applying for NBI Clearance online is complete. Congratulations! You have successfully navigated through the process and can now enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having a valid NBI Clearance.
And that’s it! The process of applying for an NBI Clearance online is now complete. It may seem like a lot of steps, but with a little bit of preparation and patience, it’s a straightforward process that can be completed in a matter of a few days.

It’s time to move on to the next phase – the actual processing of your NBI Clearance. This will be done at your chosen branch on the day of your appointment date.
However, before we proceed, I must remind you of the requirements you need to bring with you on your appointment date. These are crucial to ensure a smooth and successful processing of your NBI Clearance.
Firstly, don’t forget to bring your NBI Clearance reference number. This is an essential piece of information that we’ve obtained from www.NBI Clearance.gov.ph when we scheduled your appointment. This reference number will help the staff at the branch identify your WWW.NBI.GOV.PH Online Appointment and the payment you’ve made.
Secondly, bring at least two government-issued valid IDs. This is to verify your identity and to ensure that you are the one applying for the NBI Clearance. It’s important to note that the government-issued IDs must be valid, meaning they have not yet expired. Having these documents ready will make the processing faster and smoother, ensuring that you’ll receive your NBI Clearance in no time.
Processing Your NBI Clearance Application at the Branch
The National Bureau of Investigation, or NBI, requires that all applicants complete both the online and in-person portions of the NBI Clearance process to ensure the accuracy and security of the information provided.
While the NBI Online Registration portion of the application process is convenient and efficient, it is not enough to fully verify the identity of the applicant.
That’s why it is important for the NBI to physically take an updated photo and scan your fingerprints, as this allows for a more thorough and reliable means of verifying your identity.
And let’s not forget, it is also a way for the NBI to ensure that those who apply for the NBI clearance do not have any pending warrant of arrest or criminal cases under their name.
Some may argue that the in-person portion of the process is a hassle and takes away from the convenience of the online process.
However, the in-person portion of the process is necessary to maintain the integrity of the NBI clearance system and to protect the security and well-being of all citizens. So, it is ultimately worth the effort.
1. Upon arrival at your scheduled NBI branch for either the morning or afternoon session, make your way directly to the biometrics section.
In order to efficiently complete the process, be sure to bring along your NBI Clearance Reference number and two valid forms of identification.
1. Upon arrival at your scheduled NBI branch for either the morning or afternoon session, make your way directly to the biometrics section.
2. Once you have presented the necessary information to the NBI Clearance staff, you will proceed to have your photo taken. While there is no rule against smiling, it is recommended that you maintain a neutral expression in order to ensure a clear, recognizable photo. However, the choice is ultimately up to you.
3. After your photo has been taken, the NBI staff will ask you to scan your fingerprints using a designated device. Don’t worry, they will provide clear instructions on how to do so.
4. The NBI staff will then display the information you provided in your online application form, giving you the opportunity to review it for accuracy and make any necessary changes. Take advantage of this opportunity to double-check your details and make sure everything is correct.
5. It is important to carefully review the information in your application form, as any inaccuracies or errors can potentially cause delays or complications in the clearance process. If you do identify any issues, simply inform the NBI staff and they will make the necessary adjustments for you.
NBI Clearance Releasing
Are you ready to finally receive your NBI Clearance? The final steps will determine if you will finally hold it in your hands within a few minutes. So, be attentive and follow these steps closely.
As soon as the NBI Staff submits your application to their system, a crucial verification check will take place. This check will determine if you will receive your NBI Clearance right away or if you need to wait a bit longer.
The result of this verification check is either a HIT or NO HIT. Now, you may be thinking to yourself, “What exactly is a HIT?“
NBI Clearance Releasing with HIT
A HIT means that the NBI system has found a namesake match and that further checks will need to be done by the staff. This may also mean that your namesake has a pending warrant of arrest or an ongoing criminal case. Unfortunately, due to the need for in-depth verification, you will be asked to return after eight (8) working days to claim your NBI Clearance if you receive a HIT result.
NBI Clearance Releasing without HIT
However, if the result of the verification check is a NO HIT, then you will be in luck! This means that you can receive your NBI Clearance immediately. The NBI Staff will instruct you to go to the releasing area to wait for your NBI Clearance to be printed and handed out to you.
So, there you have it. The final steps in the NBI Clearance application process. Follow these steps closely and you will be well on your way to holding your NBI Clearance in your hands. Just remember, the result of the verification check can make or break the speed of your application process.

We have finished our task in GCash. We can now return to the NBI Online website to check the status of our scheduled appointment.
In the sidebar, go to “Transactions” page and find your NBI Online Reference Number.
The status of your Reference Number must be “Paid” already since you have made the payment using your GCASH.
Now that you are finished with the payment, this ends the scheduling of our NBI Online Appointment. The next thing to do is to wait for the appointment date that we have scheduled before going to the NBI Branch.
Processing your NBI Clearance at the NBI Branch
When date of your Appointment arrives, we are required to appear in the NBI Branch we have selected.
Make sure that we bring two Valid IDs, the NBI Clearance Reference Number and the copy/screenshot of the receipt from GCASH.
Go to the NBI Branch on your scheduled appointment date and time.
Photo Capture, Biometrics and Personal Information Verification
When you arrive at the NBI Branch, expect these three (3) things to be done.
1. Photo Capture – where you will be asked to stand in from of the camera and have your photo taken.Note that the photo will be attached to your NBI Clearance.
2. Biometrics scanning – this is the step where all you fingers will be scanned and saved to the NBI Clearance Database.
3. Personal Information Verification – the last step and one of the important step. The NBI Staff asks you to verify all the personal information written in your NBI Clearance are correct. The NBI Staff will show you his/her computer screen so you can easily verify.

Proceed to the Releasing section and wait for your name to be called.
The NBI Staff give you your printed NBI Clearance. You can now go home.
OR
2. The NBI Staff asks you to return after ten (10) working days, this means that you have a HIT. To explain it, the NBI Staff holds your NBI Clearance for release because your name or your namesake have a criminal record or derogatory record.

Step-by-Step GUIDE to Apply for NEW NBI Clearance Online: A blog on how you can apply for NBI Clearance Online without the hassled and deals with the common questions people usually have when they are applying for NBI clearance.
As we usually discuss here at NBI Clearance tutorial website, we usually talk about on how to apply for an NBI Clearance. But today, I would like to put a spot light on the specific step in NBI Clearance Application process which is the payment option.
The payment option that I’m talking about is the GCASH payment option in settling or paying your NBI Clearance Application fee.
I am sure you are familiar with the GCASH App, right? To give you a brief background about it, GCASH is mobile money or (others call it) “e-money” that allows its users to pay their bills, send and receive money from another GCASH Users, shop, pay bills and other e-commerce transactions.
I’m not going to discuss and explain what GCASH thoroughly, but i’m sure you get the gist!
Anyway, since NBI Clearance is moving its processes towards digitalization and e-commerce transaction, they have decided to partner with private corporation to handle the collection of the payment made by all applicant.
One of the first private / commercial organization who helped with the collection of the NBI Clearance Fee was 7-Eleven.
This time, we will be using another mode of payment. As I have been mentioning repeatedly, we will be using GCASH to settle our NBI Clearance transaction.
We will be skipping a few steps from the NBI Clearance Online Application since the focus of our tutorial today is to learn on how you can pay your NBI Clearance Fee using your GCash App.
GCASH App as the NBI Clearance Fee Mode of Payment
We’ll start our tutorial at the final steps where you will secure your NBI Clearance Reference Number.
The screenshot below shows you the steps after you have selected the NBI Clearance Branch, the date and time of your NBI Online Appointment where you are about to select the Payment Option or Mode of Payment.
Click on the GCash logo found in the lists of payment options. The background will turn into yellow when you hover and click it.
Right after you click it, a small window will prompt you. Please read it because it’s important.
It simply says three things:
An NBI Clearance Reference Number will be generated
Use your Gcash App to pay for your NBI Clearance.
Pay using your NBI Clearance Reference Number
We will go into detail with each item mentioned above. It’s best to discuss this through a demonstration.
Now, press the “Proceed” button.
A Payment summary will be shown to you. Ignore this because the amount is not yet final.
In my humble opinion, the information shown here is really irrelevant and will cause confusion to the NBI Clearance Applicants. Again, I am telling you that the amount you see here is not yet final so ignore this.
Just press the “Proceed to Payment” button to move to the next step.
A Payment Summary will be shown to you. Notice that there are two important elements displayed on the screen. The prompt shows you the unique auto generated NBI Clearance Reference Number (MP60JTXHLJ) and the Total amount to be paid (P155.00).
This is the correct and final amount (P155) you are going to pay in your GCash app.
Take a screenshot of this information. The important thing you need to capture is the NBI Clearance Reference number because it is unique to all applicants. Make sure you have a copy of this.
The Total amount to be paid is composed of two lines. These are the following:
The NBI Clearance Fee amounting to P130.00
The System Fee which amounts to P25.00
The system fee is an additional service fee who prefers to do the NBI Clearance Fee payment thru electronic payment system.
Click the “Accept” button to finalize the process of NBI Clearance Fee Payment in GCash.
The browser will return to the main dashboard where you can see your NBI Clearance Application form containing all your personal information.
Now, I want you to click the “Transactions” link at the side menu.
When the page is loaded, it will show you the NBI Clearance Online Appointment you have made and its status.
As you can see, the status of your NBI Online Application is still “Pending”. Notice also that the “Payment Date” is also blank.
The obvious reason is you haven’t paid for it yet. Once payment is made thru GCash, the status will change from “Pending” to “Paid”.
You are done using the NBI Clearance website. The next steps will be done through your mobile phone.
NBI Clearance Fee Payment Thru Your GCash App
Open your GCASH App in your smart phone to start the payment process of your NBI Clearance Fee.
Log in to your GCash app by entering the correct MPIN.
Once logged in, search for the “Pay Bills” icon and press it.
It will divert you to the Pay Bills section where you can see different categories of Billers. To make it convenient, we will just use the search functionality of the GCASH App and just type the keyword “NBI” in the search box.
When the logo of NBI appears, press it to select it.
It will divert you to the Pay Bills section where you need to enter the important information such as your NBI Reference Number, Contact Number, the NBI Clearance Fee (Amount) and your email address.
Note that the most important information that you need to enter here correctly is the NBI Reference number and the NBI Clearance Fee Amount.
To give you a better understanding, if you have incorrectly entered the NBI Reference Number, your scheduled NBI appointment in the NBI Clearance Website will not be tagged as Paid or Completed hence invalidating the entire transaction.
Please note that you should pay the appropriate amount. Over and under payment are considered invalid transactions.
After entering the required information correctly, press the “NEXT” text link located at the upper right section of your screen.
The next screen will show you the summary of the transaction. Make sure to review it correctly. Check the NBI Reference Number and the NBI Clearance Fees.
Press the “Confirm” text link if you have reviewed all the important information to proceed to the next steps.
IMPORTANT! When you press the CONFIRM link, this will proceed to the actual payment so make sure that the NBI Reference Number and the NBI Fee is correct. There’s no going back after this.
As mentioned, the next page will be the confirmation of the GCASH Payment to NBI Clearance. You can save this (sort of) receipt for your reference.
The GCASH payment of your NBI Clearance Fee is done! Congratulations! The next step that I want you to do is to check the status of your NBI Clearance Scheduled Appointment Status.
Check Status Of NBI Clearance Schedule Appointment
Do you still remember how to do it?
If not, then don’t worry. I will help you remember it.
Go to NBI Clearance website (clearance.nbi.gov.ph) and log in to your account. Enter your user name and password then press the sign in button.
In the menu, press “Transactions” to see your scheduled appointment.
Do you still remember this page? Remember earlier in this tutorial, I have shown you this? Notice the changes?
The most noticeable change from this page is the status. It changed from “Pending” to “Paid”. Also, the Payment Date has a value in it! It shows the date and time our payment is made. At the bottom, you can see the mode of payment which is GCASH and the validated time and date.
So what does it mean? It simply means that the payment is successful and you may now proceed with the next steps of the NBI Clearance application.
If you don’t know the next step after this, it’s simply waiting for your scheduled appointment date and time. Make sure to bring all the requirements such as two valid IDs and your NBI Clearance Reference Number.

I know that you are not a first time application but the steps to apply for an NBI Clearance for first timers also apply to you. Read those steps and you will successfully process your NBI Clearance.
If you already have the NBI Clearance before and want to apply again for a new one that you will use for the year 2022, but you don’t know how to apply again, what you need to do is to follow the instruction that i have written in NBI Clearance Online First Time Application.
You have an expired/unexpired NBI Clearance BUT can’t access your NBI Clearance Online Account.
If you currently possess an NBI Clearance, whether it is expired or not and want to renew it but you can’t access or log in to your NBI Online Account due to several reasons, my recommendation to you is follow the same steps I have illustrated in NBI Clearance Online First Time Application.
I asked you to do this because I assume that you can’t log in to your account because you can’t remember the email address you have used to register an account with NBI Clearance website. Or possibly, you don’t have access to your old email address restricting you to use the forget your password feature?
Now, if you can still remember what email address you have used in registration of your NBI Online Account but can’t remember the password, you can just use the “Forgot my password” feature of the website.
You have an NBI Clearance and can access your NBI Clearance Online account.
Now, if you belong to this group of applicants who wants to renew your NBI Clearance and can access your NBI Clearance Online Account but (for some reasons) you forgot how to do it, then I advice to start reading and follow my tutorial starting Log In to your NBI Clearance Online Account.
You will find the other steps to be unnecessary so feel free to skip it. But to give you a summary of steps you need to do, here it is:
Notice that your steps are shorter compared to the First time applicants? That’s because you don’t need to register a new NBI Clearance Online Account because you already have it.
You also don’t need to complete your Personal Information since you’ve done that before. You may need to update your personal information if you want to.
NBI Clearance Online Website
Go to the official website of NBI Clearance Online Application which is clearance.nbi.gov.ph.
The landing page of the NBI Clearance Online website has several functionalities the users can perform. These are the following:
Register an account – where applicants can register an account with NBI Clearance to be able set an NBI Online appointment to process their NBI Clearance Application. This feature is for the first time users of the websites who don’t have an account yet.
Sign In to NBI Clearance Online Account – Users can access their account and schedule another appointment for their NBI Clearance processing.
NBI Clearance Online Verification – a feature that enables anyone who wants to verify their own or another person’s NBI Clearance if authentic or not. Though, this service only captures those NBI Clearance issued 2018 (if I’m not mistaken) .
First Time Job Seekers – a registration page or section for the first time applicants. Most of the applicants here are fresh graduates from colleges or high school. This service is free of charge though additional requirements are needed to avail this free service.
We’ll have an in depth discussion of each item mentioned above but for now, I can only give you a brief explanation on what it does.
NBI Clearance Online Account Sign In
For applicants who already have their online NBI Clearance account, you may proceed logging in to your account by entering your user name and password in the Sign In section provided by the website.
Forgot your NBI Clearance Online Account Password? No Problem!
If you forgot your password, you may use the “Forgot Password” feature. Just click the text link below the Email Input box to be directed to the forgot password page of NBI Clearance.
When you click the forgot your password link, a small pop out window will appear asking to input your registered email address.
Open your email account and look for the mail entitled “NBI Online Services: Request for new password”.
Note: You may check your spam folder if you can’t find it in your inbox.
The email from NBI Clearance Online looks like this:
It contains a button or a reset link which you need to click so you will be redirected to another page to reset your password. Click on it to start resetting the password.
When you arrive at the destination page, two input boxes are displayed where you need to nominate a new and secure password.
In nominating a password, make sure to follow these rules:
Make it long – The most critical factor in creating a password. Choose nothing shorter than 15 characters, more if possible.
Make sure to use a mix of characters – combining uppercase and lower case letters, numbers and symbols are harder for the hackers to crack.
Avoid common substitutions – this is a common practice where letter O is replace by 0 (zero). So if your password is “door123”, you usually do this “d00r123”. Avoid this because password crackers are designed to use this pattern.
Never use memorable keyboard paths – i am sure you are a fan of qwerty123 password. Also, never use any of these methods. Sequential keyboard paths are also common in password cracking software.
After nominating a secure password, just click the “Reset” button to submit. Wait for a few seconds and a small (green) notification bar will appear confirming that the password reset is successful.
Note that no email will be sent as a confirmation of the password reset is successful so watch out for that notification.
Now that you have reset your password. You may now proceed logging in to your NBI Clearance Online Account.
Forgot your NBI Clearance Online Account (Registered) Email?
Okay, don’t panic. You said you forgot your email address registered in NBI Clearance Online?
To be straight forward, this is going to be a problem. But again, don’t panic. Let me explain this to you.
The thing with the new NBI Clearance Online website for 2022 is that it doesn’t have a feature to retrieve your registered email address.
Unlike the password which you can easily reset, the email address retrieval is next to impossible.
But don’t worry, we have a work around so you can still register for a new one. I want you to follow these steps so you can still avail the Online NBI appointment system of NBI Clearance.
Create a new email address
Since you forgot what email address you have registered on the NBI Clearance website, all I want you to do is to create a new one. I recommend creating a new GMAIL account.
I won’t go into detail on how to create a new email address since I assume you are already familiar with it.
Once you’re done, go back to the official NBI Clearance Online 2022 website and register for a new account.
“Question? Is it ok that I have two (2) accounts on the NBI Clearance website?”
Yes! Totally ok to have two or more NBI Clearance accounts. The official website of NBI Clearance is built to handle large data and information so a duplicate account from one person is tolerable.
When you are ready to register for a new account with NBI Clearance, you can follow the steps below (link for NBI Clearance Account Registration)
NBI Clearance Account Registration for 2022
To register an account with NBI Clearance, look for the Registration section of the page. It is usually located at the upper right side of the screen, if you are using a laptop or desktop. If you are using your mobile phone, you just need to scroll down a little bit to see the NBI Clearance Registration.
Notice in the NBI Clearance Online Registration, the personal information of the applicants are needed to be filled.
For now, ignore those items and I want you to focus on the text that says:
“DO YOU HAVE AN NBI CLEARANCE ISSUED FROM 2014 TO PRESENT?”
In the check box that represents your response if YES or NO, tick or click the check box for NO.
To explain why I asked you to answer NO is because, the response for YES are for those people who have NBI Clearance issued from 2014 to present and do not have an NBI Clearance ONLINE Account. Note the word I put emphasis on bold and underlined. This means that your name and other personal information is already encoded in NBI’s database.
But the problem with this type of registration is that the database of NBI Clearance is not 100% accurate. Not all people who had their NBI Clearance are already in the database, few other people’s personal information are not encoded there.
So to address this, I always recommend everyone to simply respond to the checkbox for a NO response.
Notice that the personal information requirements and input boxes will change.
Now is the time to input the following personal information of yours.
Gender
Civil Status
Birth Date (Month, Date and Year)
First Name
Middle Name
Surname
Mobile Number
Email Address
Password
“Question: What if I don’t have a Middle Name? What should I put in the Middle Name Input Field? What will appear in my NBI Clearance?”
We have tackled this before and have answered this question numerous times already. For those applicants who don’t have a Middle Name, simply input “MNU”.
MNU stands for Middle Name Unknown. It’s acceptable and recognized by the law.
After typing all the personal information needed, tick or click the checkbox for “READ and ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICES”.
The Terms of Service of the NBI Clearance website will appear. it is optional to read it. Press the “AGREE” button to proceed with the next steps.
Next is to press the captcha text box that says “I’m not a robot” and wait for it to turn into a check icon.
When all information is filled and tick boxes are ticked, you may now press the signup button at the bottom of the NBI Clearance Online Registration Form.
The NBI Clearance Online Application website will send you an OTP or One-Time Password. This will be sent to your registered email address and your registered mobile number.
A small pop out window will appear asking for the NBI Clearance Online OTP sent to your registered Mobile number or registered email address.
Note that the NBI Clearance Online OTP sent to your email address and mobile number is the same.
Here’s a sample SMS Message you will receive from NBI Clearance Online containing the OTP.
And here’s the email you will receive containing also the OTP.
Enter the NBI Clearance OTP correctly in the space provided in the website and press the “Submit” button.
If you entered the NBI Clearance Online Application OTP correctly, the small pop out window will be removed and a green notification will appearing stating:
“You have successfully registered in our portal”
This is the indication that you are already a registered user of NBI Clearance Online portal.
Note that the OTPs are required to be entered within 5 mins or it will expire. If the NBI Clearance OTP expires, you can easily request for a new one by simply clicking the button “Re-send One-Time Password (OTP)”.
This will send another OTP to your email address. Just enter the new OTP and it will proceed with the registration.
Successful Registration
The NBI Online website will confirm if the registration for your account is successful through a small green notification in the website.
You might miss it because it will be displayed for a few seconds but watch out for it.
Another indication that you are registered is it will redirect you back to the home page where you can see the log in section.
Note that there will be no SMS or Email Confirmation sent that will confirm your registration process is successful.
NBI Clearance Online Account Log In
Now that you have registered an account, you will now be able to login and start your NBI Online application.
At the upper right corner of your screen, enter your registered email address and nominated password correctly then press the “Sign in” button.
Completion of Applicant’s Information
During your first log in to your NBI Online Account, you will see the incomplete Application Information. Your main task here is to complete the missing information such as:
Middle Name (if available)
Gender
Nickname
AKA/Other Name
Birth Place
Citizenship
Complete Address
Mobile Number
Father’s Name and his Birth Place
Mother’s Name and her Birth Place
Educational Attainment
Occupation
Religion
Height
Weight
Complexion
And lastly, If you have Identifying marks (ex. Scar, Mole etc.)
Note that the First Name, Last Name, Date of Birth and the email address cannot be changed? This is because those information are account registration information which are used by the website in identifying each user.
Now, press the “Save Information” button to save your progress.
A small pop out window will appear displaying all your personal information. Review it to make sure you don’t have any typographical errors and to ensure that all the information you have typed are correct.
Press the “Submit” button.
A small notification banner will be shown that your profile was saved.
“Question: What if I have typographical errors in those Personal Information which I cannot change in the NBI Online Application Portal?”
After that, This will redirect you to a different page showing you all your personal information.
I recommend you review all the personal information you have entered before doing the next step.
If you found any typographical error or just want to change one or two personal information, just press the “Edit Button”.
We’ll discuss this topic separately since there are several topics to cover.
Editing NBI Application Information
If you find the need to edit any of your personal information written in your NBI Application, you can easily do it by just going through these steps we have written below.
I assume you already logged in to your NBI Online Account so we’ll skip that part.
In the upper right side of your screen, find the button that says “Edit Information” and press it.
You will now be directed to your NBI Application Information page where all the information you have entered can be modified or edited.
Feel free to make changes to any of the information.
Press the “Save Information” button to review your changes and click the “Submit” button to save your changes.
“Question: What if I want to change my First Name, Last Name, Email Address or Date of Birth because it’s incorrect? How can I do that?”
As mentioned before, you can’t edit those fields or personal information because these information are vital in your NBI Clearance and NBI Online Account.
But don’t worry, we have a work around for that.
In case that it’s clearly a typo error or incorrect information, all you can do is proceed with the processing of your NBI Clearance. That means schedule an appointment, pay for the NBI Clearance Fees, go to the scheduled appointment to your selected NBI Branch.
Now, here’s the trick. When you reach the steps of Personal Information Verification, this happens during or after your photo and biometrics is taken, mentioned to the NBI Clearance Staff that there’s a typographical error or erroneous information that you want to change.
Make sure to bring additional legal documents like NSO Birth certificate or a valid ID to support your claim as evidence that it is really incorrect.
The NBI Clearance Staff will change it for you.
NBI Clearance Appointment Scheduling
This is the step where you will schedule an appointment in processing your NBI Clearance.
To start this step, assuming you are still logged in to your NBI Clearance Online Account, click the “Apply For Clearance” button.
A small pop out window will appear. This window will ask you two things:
What type of ID are you bringing?
What is the ID Number of that Valid ID you have selected?
You can select the Valid ID from the drop down list. Please note that the list of Valid IDs are the only identification cards or documents acceptable by NBI Clearance Branches as the requirement in processing the NBI Clearance.
If you didn’t find your ID from the list, that means they don’t accept it and will not honor it as a requirement.
Although there is one missing from the list and that is the newly released Philippine National ID. I think the NBI Clearance Requirements List is not yet updated but I can vouch that it (the Philippine National ID) is valid and accepted.
For the ID Number, you can easily find it in your plastic or laminated physical ID card. Just copy and type it in the text box provided.
Another pop out window will appear, the information written is important and serves as a reminder to all NBI Clearance Online Applicants. It simply says:
“Your REGISTRATION CODE or REFERENCE NUMBER will be provided after you select your PAYMENT OPTION.
Your REFERENCE NUMBER shall serve as your GATE PASS when you enter the NBI Clearance Processing Area.
To avoid inconvenience and long lines, please pay your NBI CLEARANCE FEE using your REFERENCE NUMBER at the selected PAYMENT OPTION.
Thank you!”
There’s also a Tagalog version of the text if you prefer to translate the text above.
Press the “Close” button if you are done reading.
After the steps above, you will be redirected to the NBI Clearance Online Appointment System.
The page contains five (5) sections and these are:
NBI Branch selection list
Date picker that looks like a calendar where you want to schedule your appointment.
The NBI Clearance Fee
Appointment Schedule
And lastly, the mode of payment.
NBI Clearance Branch Selection
To start your appointment, select the NBI Branch you want to process your NBI Clearance Online Application.
Just click the arrow down and search for it.
In this example, I am selecting the NBI Clearance Center (Main Branch) which is located at UN Avenue, Manila.
You can see the list of NBI Branches available nationwide here in our separate post. We’ll post the updated list of NBI Clearance Branches later on.
Date and Time Appointment Setting for NBI Clearance Processing
Once the NBI Branch is selected, the available slots for the month will appear.
You can see two buttons per date which represent AM and PM. Blue button means available and the slots available are also displayed. While Red is Holiday and Gray is full slot.
Press the button inside the date you prefer.
Right after that, notice that the Appointment Schedule section will update according to your selected date and Time.
Also, notice that the NBI Clearance Fee will show you how much you should be paying.
The base fee of NBI Clearance is P130.00. There will be an additional fee of P25 if you pay using any e-payment service.
We will post a separate tutorial about the NBI Clearance Fee Payment Options
Mode of Payment for NBI Clearance Fee
To finalize your NBI Clearance Online Appointment, you need to select the payment option that is available on the website.
So to continue the tutorial above, I will select GCash as mode of payment.
If you don’t prefer using GCash as the payment option for your NBI Clearance Fee, you can use other methods such as 7-Eleven, Bayad Center and others. Here are some useful links you can read to guide you on how to pay your NBI Clearance Fees.
In the payment options, press the box that contains the GCash logo. Make sure that it turns to yellow.
A small window will appear that shows the instructions. Make sure that you read it.
Here’s the screenshot of NBI Clearance Fee Payment Reminder.
The instruction says three steps:
A REFERENCE NUMBER will be generated
Use your GCash App
Pay using your REFERENCE NUMBER or scan QR Code
It’s pretty straight forward. If you understand it correctly, you need the NBI Clearance Reference Number which is generated right after I press the “Proceed” button.
Then I need to pay using my GCash App to pay for it. The NBI Clearance Online Reference Number will be used to pay for my transaction while using the GCash App.
Going back, press the “Proceed” button to generate the NBI Online Reference Number.
A Transaction Summary will be displayed. Review it to make sure that your NBI Online Appointment is correct.
Now, press the “Proceed to Payment” button.
Another small window will be displayed but this time, you will see the NBI Clearance Online Payment Reference Number.
Notice that the Total amount to be paid has increased from (previous) P130 to P155. This is because we are using an e-payment which is subject to System Fee amounting to P25.
Take note of that by taking a screenshot or writing it down. Again, I cannot put more emphasis on this but this is important information in booking your NBI Clearance Online Appointment.
Press the “Accept” button once you have copied the NBI Clearance Reference Number.
You will now be redirected to the dashboard where you can see your Personal Information, the “Apply for Clearance” and “Edit Information” buttons and the sidebar menu which contains the Application, Transaction, Contact Us and Privacy Policy section.
That means you are almost done.
What’s left is the actual payment of your NBI Clearance in GCash.
But before we proceed, I want you to go to the “Transactions” section. You can find it at the sidebar menu, right under Application. Click it!
It will display all your transactions / scheduled appointments booked in the NBI Clearance Online portal.
IMPORTANT!PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST BRING THE NBI CLEARANCE REFERENCE NUMBER WHEN YOU PROCESS YOUR APPLICATION. THIS WILL BE USED TO FIND YOUR APPLICATION IN NBI CLEARANCE DATABASE TO START THE BIOMETRICS AND PHOTO CAPTURE. THE NBI STAFF WILL ASK FOR THIS SO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS READILY AVAILABLE.
We will now use our GCash application installed in our mobile phones to settle the NBI Clearance Fee.
In this section of the tutorial, we will discuss how we can pay our NBI Clearance Fee using GCash.
I assume you have a working GCash app installed in your mobile phones. So let’s get started.
First thing to do is log in to your GCash app.
Please note that I won’t go into detail such as teaching you how to download and install the app, registration and logging in, adding balance to your GCash Account.
Once logged in, check your balance if it’s enough to cover the NBI Clearance Fee. You should have at least P155.00 available balance to afford to pay for your NBI Clearance Fee.
Press the “Pay Bills” icon.
In the “Pay bills” page, press the search text box and type “NBI”. The NBI logo will appear, press it to select it.
After selecting the NBI logo, this page will be displayed. You need to fill out the required information to proceed with the payment of your NBI Clearance Fee.
We already have the NBI Clearance Reference Number which we got from the NBI Clearance Online Website.
Also, the amount that will be entered should be the amount shown in the NBI Clearance Fee Payment / Transaction Summary (which is P155.00).
Press the “Next” text link above to proceed.
Review the details you have entered before pressing the “Confirm” text link to proceed to payment.
At this point, you can still go back if you found any errors. Make sure to double or triple check the NBI Clearance Reference Number you have entered. Paying for the Incorrect NBI Clearance Reference Number will forfeit your payment and will not reflect on your status of your scheduled appointment in NBI Clearance.
When you press the “Confirm” text link, it will proceed to payment.
The image above shows the payment receipt issued by GCash. You will also receive an SMS message regarding the transaction.
There you have it! If you have done it correctly, your payment will be reflected in your “Transactions” section of the NBI Clearance website.
If we go back to the NBI Online Appointment website, go to the “Transactions” section, you will see the changes (see image below).
Notice the difference between the two images? The top image ihas a status of “Pending” and no Payment Date is reflected yet.
While the image at the bottom shows the status of “Paid” and has a Payment date timestamp on it. Also, it shows the mode of payment used which is GCash.
That means we are now ready to proceed to the next steps in processing our NBI Clearance.
Just continue reading for the next steps.
Processing your NBI Clearance Online Application at the NBI Branch
Now that you have scheduled an appointment with the official website of NBI Clearance Online and paid the appropriate NBI Clearance fees, the next steps you will undertake is to wait for your scheduled appointment date and time.
Yes, you’ve read it right. If you are scheduled the next day, the next week or month, you are required to wait for it. Any applicant is discouraged to just walk in whenever he or she wants to.
There’s a reason why you have to select the date and the time while doing an appointment in the NBI Clearance Online website and that is to avoid the overcrowding and organize the volume of applicants in NBI Branches.
Imagine if 10,000 NBI Clearance Applicants decided to go to NBI Main Building on the same day? It will be chaos!
Going back to our tutorial, when the day of your scheduled appointment arrives, make sure to arrive at the NBI Branch you have chosen on time. Meaning, if you booked an appointment in the morning (AM), don’t arrive at the place at around 11:45 PM. Please be considerate.
Bring your NBI Clearance Requirements
We have discussed the NBI Clearance requirements already. If you have forgotten it, here it is:
UMID (SSS ID and GSIS)
Philippine Passport
Philhealth ID
PAG IBIG ID
Voters ID or Certificate of Registration
TIN ID
PRC License
Driver’s License
Authenticated Birth Certificate
Driver’s License
Postal ID
Certification from the Local Civil Registrar
Certification from Malacanang in connection with Indegeniois groups, Tribal membership and Foundling
Solo Parent ID
Company ID (valid only for Government Employees only)
Police Clearance issued by the Police Station where Applicant is resident of the Station’s jurisdiction
Seaman’s Book and SIRV
School ID together with the current Registration Card
Senior Citizen ID
Marina
And lastly, Philippine National ID
Make sure to bring at least two (2) valid IDs found in the list above.
The above mentioned identification documents are the NBI requirements. Just a tip for all the applicants to avoid any hassle during the NBI application process, the valid IDs must be:
All Valid IDs must be unexpired (if expiration are applicable like for passport and driver’s license)
Must not be a photocopy of the valid ID card
Must be readable
Free from damage or tears.
Processing your NBI Clearance
In processing your NBI Clearance at the NBI Branch, expect the following activities or steps that you will undertake.
Presenting/Showing of NBI Clearance Online Reference Number
Biometrics (fingerprinting)
Photo capture
Personal Information Verification
Releasing of NBI Clearance
We will tackle each item thoroughly.
Proceed to the Biometrics and Fingerprinting section of the NBI Branch or better yet, ask the Officer of the day or the Guard for assistance where would be the first step but it’s usually the Biometrics and fingerprinting.
Presenting/Showing of NBI Clearance Online Reference Number
To start the process, you will be asked to present your
Biometrics
In this step, you will be asked to place your fingers to their biometrics reader where all your fingerprints will be scanned. There’s nothing difficult about this step.
Tip: Make sure that your fingers are dry and not sweaty. There are chances that your fingerprints will not be scanned by the device because it’s too wet.
Don’t put any powder on it! It will make your situation worse. If you put power on it, those powder will cover the lines in your finger that makes it more unreadable.
Photo Capture
Is there anything I need to discuss here?
Kidding aside, it’s just a photo capture session. The photo taken will be printed in your NBI Clearance.
Is smiling at the camera prohibited? No. But a few cases from other applicants mentioned that they are asked to have a serious face.
All are required to remove their eye (reading) glasses.
Personal Information Verification
Once the photo capture and biometrics are done, you will be asked by the NBI Clearance Staff to verify all the personal information you have written in your application.
There will be a monitor display showing all your personal information so you could easily cross check what you have written.
It is also the time when you have found out or already know that there is an error or you want something to be changed or to correct. You can ask the NBI Clearance Staff to modify it. We have discussed this topic earlier in Editing your NBI Clearance Online Information.
Once you are good to go and find any errors / modifications to be done, tell the NBI Clearance Staff that you are good to go.
Releasing of NBI Clearance
Now that you have confirmed your personal information is correct, the NBI Clearance Staff will now start to process this.
NBI Clearance Online Staff will submit your data and perform several checks and verifications. If everything is good, the NBI Clearance Online Staff will instruct you to go to the Releasing Section to wait for your printed NBI Clearance.
That means, in about (minimum) of 30 minutes, your NBI Clearance will be printed and will be handed to you. All you have to do is wait.
By this time, you are already finish in processing your NBI Clearance Application, Congratulations! You’ve made it!
Now, there are cases that you will be instructed to return at the same NBI Branch after seven (7) working days. This is because, the NBI Clearance Staff after doing his or her checks and verifications have found your name with a status of “HIT”.
That means the releasing of your NBI Clearance will be on hold for seven (7) days and further verification and data analysis must be done before releasing it to you.
“HIT” is the term used by NBI Clearance Outlets or Branches if the applicant has a namesake and requires the NBI Clearance to be verified further before released to its owner. There are 109 Million (and counting) breathing individuals in the Philippines. With that size of population, there’s a chance that you have a namesake who already applied for their NBI Clearance.
To learn more about this, you can read our article about NBI Clearance HIT.

You are entitled to the first time applicant republic act where the NBI Clearance fees are waived.

You can click the “Resend One-Time Password (OTP)” button if you do not receive the text message from the NBI Online Website to send you a new one.
NBI Online Registration Application Form
After completing the steps above, all you need to do is fill out the NBI Online Registration Application Form.
If you are successful in entering the NBI Online OTP, you will see a small pop up window saying you are successful in creating your account.
The next step is to log in to your account using your email address and password.
You will be taken to the Dashboard of your account where you will find the NBI Online Application form.
The NBI Online application form you will see is not yet finished. There are additional personal information you need to write down so you can start scheduling your NBI appointment.
Again, write down all the required personal information on the NBI Online Registration form.
These personal details needed are as follows:
Middle Name – if not available, please type MNU which means Middle Name Unknown
Nickname
AKA/Other Name
Civil Status (if you want to change it)
Birth Place
Citizenship
Your Address – following this format Street / Unit / Bldg / Village
Your Mobile Number
Father’s Name
Father’s Birth Place
Mother’s Name
Mother’s Birth Place
Educational Attainment
Occupation
Religion
Height in centimeters
Weight in Kilograms
Complexion
Identifying Marks
Please take note that all personal information that you’ve written on your NBI Online Registration Application Form will reflect your actual NBI Clearance so just make sure all of them are correct.
In case you made an error or mistake in writing your personal information, you can still edit it using the “EDIT” button after you have clicked the saved button.
The only ones that are not allowed to edit on the NBI Online Website are your Complete Name (First and Last name), your Birth Date and the email address you used.
All personal information that you have written may be edited or exchanged except as noted.
After finishing the NBI Online Application Form, click the Save Information button at the lowest part of the form.
After you save it, a pop up window will appear showing all the personal information you have entered on the NBI Online Registration Application Form.
Please double check all of them to avoid the wrong details.
Now you are done with the NBI Online Registration Application Form. You can go to the next step.
NBI Online Appointment
The NBI Online Appointment, as we mentioned in the previous paragraphs, is one way to make our NBI Clearance Online easier to apply.
To do this, simply click the button that says “APPLY FOR CLEARANCE” which you will see on the right if you’re using your desktop or laptop.
After pressing the said button, a confirmation window will appear asking you what type of ID and ID number you will present when applying NBI Online.
Just press the “I Agree” button to continue the NBI Online process.
A window will appear again mentioning some import reminders. You may read it or not. Click the “Close” button after reading.
From the long list of NBI Branches, select one using the drop down arrow. It is best to choose the closest and most convenient NBI Online Branch from where you currently live.
After choosing the NBI Branch, its time for you to choose the day and what time you should go to the NBI Branch.
In the calendar displayed on the NBI Online website, you can choose your preferred day. All dates highlighted or colored in blue are available. In one day, there are two slots to choose from. This is the AM or PM. Just choose the time you have the ability to go to the branch.
Payment of NBI Online Registration
After you have set the schedule for your NBI Online Application, you can choose which payment method you want.
You have six payment method options to choose from, these are the following.
Bank over the Counter
Online Bank
Payment Center Outlets
Pay Center Mobile App
ECPay
7-Eleven
From the above options, just choose the payment option that you know will be easy and convenient for you.
But you can also choose Bayad Center because of its many branches spread throughout the country.
If your bank has the capability to pay NBI Clearance Online through their website or mobile app, it’s a good idea to use it. Since you don’t have to leave your home. Just make sure to check with your bank if they allow NBI Online payments using their facility.
You can also use the Bayad Center App if you have one.
Lastly and my least favorite, is to pay your NBI Clearance Fee by going to the bank. I do not recommend this because first and foremost, there are many people in the bank trying to do their own transactions. There are usually long queue lines.
Unlike Bayad center and 7-Eleven where customers or clients’ payment are processed quickly.
Going back to our tutorial, just choose one of the six options mentioned.
Click the boxes containing the payment method selected. For this tutorial, our choice is 7-Eleven.
A small window will appear, just press “Proceed” button.
Another window will appear where it will show you your transaction summary and how much NBI Online Fee is.
Please note that this is not the final amount of the NBI Clearance Fee. This will change due to other charges.
Now, press the “Proceed to Payment” button to continue.
After the last button is pressed, another small window will appear showing your NBI Reference Number.
Please write it down or take a picture or screenshot.
This NBI Reference number will be used or will be presented when you pay at 7-Eleven or Payment Center. Please provide your NBI Reference Number to the cashier so that it can be encoded and processed.
This is the final step in NBI Clearance Online after you pay your NBI Online Fee.
The next is the actual process of your NBI Clearance where you are required to go to the NBI Clearance Branch on the day and time of your choice.
Processing your NBI Online Application
This section is designed to discuss the most important part of the NBI Clearance Online Application.
Before you go to the NBI Clearance Branch of your choice, make sure you have two valid IDs and your NBI Reference Number.
If you do not have a Valid ID, you will not be allowed to the enter the gates of NBI. All applicants who doesn’t have an NBI Reference Number are also not entertained because Walk In for NBI Clearance Application is prohibited.
In this step, here we will experience the following activities:
Photo capture
Biometrics
Final Verification and Quality Control
and Releasing of NBI Clearance
For Photo Capture, just like any other normal Valid ID. You, as an applicant will stand in front of the camera to take your photo. This photo will be printed on your actual NBI Clearance. You have nothing to do here but to listen to the NBI Clearance Staff’s instructions. Don’t forget to at the camera!
For Biometrics, you will be guided by the NBI Clearance Staff to get your finger prints. Your fingers will be placed on their finger print scanner and will be digitally mapped to be placed in their database.
For Final Verification, all of your written personal information on the NBI Online Website will be displayed on the NBI Clearance Staff’s computer screen. Please double check every personal information.
If you find something wrong or want to change it, here’s your chance. Just tell the NBI Clearance Staff what details you would like to change or correct and they will help you gladly.
Confirm that all the personal information encoded are correct so that it can be submitted and processed.
In this step, you will also know if you have HIT or None.
If you have HIT, the NBI Clearance Staff will tell you immediately and advise you to return someday to claim your NBI Clearance.
If you do not have HIT, you will be advised to go to the Releasing Section to claim the NBI Clearance printed.
Can I walk in for NBI CLEARANCE Renewal Application?
This is a popular and commonly asked question by our fellow NBI Clearance Online Applicants.
The thing is, despite the fact that several years ago, NBI Clearance Branches already implemented the NBI Clearance Online Registration. Many people are still not aware of the new step by step process in applying NBI Clearance.
Also, if you’ve been reading our previous articles, the instruction is clear that an NBI Online Appointment is required.
Before we begin to dive in to this topic, it is much needed to provide you a clear view of what really is the purpose of the NBI Clearance Online Appointment and how it works.
NBI Clearance Online Appointment
If we’re going to go back in time, maybe 20 to 30 years ago, the issuance of NBI Clearance is really chaotic. The old process would be the following:
Fall in line to get application form which takes too much of your time because people tend to apply for their NBI Clearance at the same time.
Getting the NBI Clearance Application form by falling in line.
Falling in line to have your Photo taken.
Falling in line for process your NBI Clearance by manually imprinting your thumb marks using inks.
Again, falling in line for releasing.
If you noticed, the “falling in line” step is always included in every course of action in processing. This was noticed by the NBI Agency which needed to be addressed because people are getting angry with long queue lines.
Since the NBI Clearance Application and NBI Renewal process is showing signs that it needs improvements, the said Agency decided to overhaul the entire process and totally eliminate the walk in for NBI Clearance application.
As the population of the Philippines continues to grow, so too does the need for NBI Clearance. Every year, there are significant increase in applications processed by the NBI.
This, in turn, will result in a swell in the number of NBI Applicants seeking for Clearances from NBI.
The purpose of an online booking system is to help your applicants to simplify and make the NBI Online Appointment procedure more efficient and effective through automation to keep the entire process flowing smoothly, efficiently and productively. But before implementing this system, let’s focus on the important advantages of the NBI Clearance Online Appointment System.
As the NBI Online appointment booking system works 24/7, this gives us the freedom to schedule an appointment anytime we want.
It is worth mentioning that the DFA who issues Philippine Passports had a great success in implementing the online appointment system just like prohibiting Walk In for NBI Clearance applicants to enter the premises.
However, it’s a major disadvantage is for the people who doesn’t know how to do an online appointment online.
On the other hand, appointment thru NBI Clearance website is great for people with knowledge how to operate easily the website. This means that applicants can do it any time of the day, on weekends or whenever works for them.
Scheduling an NBI Online Appointment shows the applicants patients what dates are still available.
It is time-efficient, provides transparency and helps the applicant feel more informed and in control.
Time savings.
NBI Clearance Staffs spends less time accommodating the long queue lines of applicants, thereby unloading and eliminating massive amount of their working hours due to the number of applicants daily.
The applicants also saves their time, as they no longer have to fall in a very long queue lines because applicants with online appointments are accommodated. Those walk in applicants won’t be able to process their
Convenience.
Walk in Application for NBI Clearance can be a tiring activity. Imagine, going to the NBI Clearance Branch just to be greeted with a long queue line just to get the application form? Then there’s another line for payment, thumb printing, photo capture and release.
If you’re unlucky, you’ll not be accommodated because its already cut off.
This is an inconvenience for most applicants that they usually encounter.
But due to the appointment system implemented, all applicants can process their application without any inconvenience encountered.
Those long queue lines are now significantly decrease. To be honest, the queue lines are still there but it was improved. It’s fast moving and it’s really shorter compared before.
NBI Appointment: Optional or required?
One question applicants is keep on asking if it is really required.
The short answer is YES.
Every applicant must secure an online appointment from NBI Website to be able to process their application.
Once you have secured an appointment, you will receive from the website the Reference Number. This NBI Reference number serves as your transaction number and appointment for your application.
The reference number is also important because it reference to your application. Once the NBI Staff types your NBI Reference number in his or her computer, your filled up application form will appear and will be verified.
Walk in for NBI Clearance Application? Is it allowed?
TECHNICALLY, NO.
Walk in for NBI Clearance is highly discouraged.
But due to the number of people who don’t have an access to the internet due to lack of internet subscription, no available desktop/laptop computer, no mobile device capable of internet browsing. The NBI Clearance Branches provided a section where you can book your appointment to get yourself an NBI Clearance Reference number.
Now here lies the problem, due to the number of people who met the criteria that I’ve mentioned in the previous paragraph. A build up of number of applicants without NBI Online Appointment is growing.
This results to another queue line created due to the people trying to schedule their application on the day itself and on the spot.
There’s also a build up in the payment section because of the people who just scheduled their appointment are required to pay the fees for application.
Conclusion
If you’re wise enough to realize the time and effort consumed by not complying with the implemented rules, you’ll choose the short and convenient way.
The benefits of implementing this process is to touch everyone involved in the NBI Online processing, as the NBI Staff can do their tasks more efficiently and accurately, while applicants have the ability to schedule their appointments quickly and more conveniently.
Did you know that if you have an account with NBI, you can easily schedule an appointment by easily using the NBI Online Login.
NBI Renewal — The NBI Renewal is an NBI Clearance application process whereby the applicant will apply for another NBI Clearance for the second or several times. This means that the applicant have a previous NBI Clearance record or has been issued an NBI Clearance previously.
This process is exclusively provided to applicants with NBI Clearance. First time applicants of NBI Clearance are not allowed to go through this process because they have nothing to renew (obviously).
An applicant wishing to undergo the NBI Renewal Online process will only be allowed if he or she meets criteria below:
There is an old and expired NBI Clearance naissue from the year 2014 onwards
There is an old but unreported NBI Clearance that was canceled from the year 2014 onwards.
The only difference between the two criteria is the word “EXPIRED” but when it comes to NBI Renewal processing is just the same.
One of the most important detail when applying for an NBI Renewal is that the applicant should know his or her NBI Clearance ID Number.
This number can be found in the actual printed NBI Clearance. If the NBI Renewal applicant is unable to obtain or locate his or her NBI ID Number, the NBI Renewal process is no longer applicable to his application.
All he has to do is apply for a new NBI Clearance. We will discuss this later in our tutorial.
Where to Apply NBI Renewal
All NBI Renewals are processed at all NBI Clearance Branches in your city. But before you head to the nearest branch, first make sure you have a confirmed NBI Online Appointment so you can enter the gate and be supervised by the NBI Clearance Staff.
To help, I split each topic of the app. A Table of Content regarding NBI Renewal has been created to facilitate your reading. You can click the link that suits you.
For your information, the NBI Online website is designed to handle all the NBI online applications of each applicant wishing to obtain their NBI Clearance.
If this is your first time seeing the NBI Online website, I’m sure you don’t have an NBI Online account yet. Don’t worry about it, we’ll be teaching you how to use it later on.
If you have already registered and have an NBI Online Account, your process will be easier.
Let’s first explain how to register your NBI Online Account. If you already have it, you can jump to the next step (Step 3. NBI Online Login).
Step 2. Registration for NBI Renewal
This step is exclusive only for all applicants who want the NBI Renewal service or those who have obtained NBI Clearance issued in the year 2014 to present.
People who want to get an NBI Renewal can also follow it BUT they can’t remember their user names and passwords of their NBI Online Account.
If you already have an NBI Clearance Online Account and have the ability to have NBI Online Login in your account, this tutorial is not for you. I advise you to go to this section (NBI Online Login for Renewal) by clicking the link.
All applicants wishing to avail of the NBI Renewal are required to utilize the NBI Online Website for securing an NBI Online Appointment.
NBI Online Registration Form
Let’s start the tutorial on how to use the website for NBI Renewal.
Before we proceed, this step is only for NBI Renewal Applicants who have their actual NBI Clearance. This is the exact print or hard copy of NBI Clearance as you will need it later on NBI Renewal Online.
Don’t worry if the hard copy or printed NBI Clearance is gone, we’ll have a separate tutorial for it which you will see/read later on.
Let’s go back to the tutorial, locate the NBI Renewal Registration Form on the NBI Clearance Online website. It’s usually located at the right side of your screen if you’re using your laptops or desktop and bottom portion of the screen if you are using your mobile devices.
This NBI Renewal Registration Form looks like the image we show below.
At the top of the NBI Online Registration form you will find the words “DO YOU HAVE A NBI CLEARANCE ISSUED FROM 2014 TO PRESENT?“, Just tick the checkbox that says “YES”.
Next is Just fill in all the required personal information. These are the following.
• First Name • Last Name • Mobile Number • Birth Date • And most important of all, is your NBI ID Number
Your NBI ID Number can be seen on your printed or hard copy NBI Clearance.
See image below:
NBI ID Number – Successfully Retrieve Data
If your NBI ID Number is stored in the NBI Website database, you will receive a successful notification (see image below).
You can move on to the next step.
If the NBI Renewal website can’t find your NBI ID Number, you will receive the following message.
If you receive an error saying “The system cannot find the given NBI ID” do not worry. This simply means that your NBI ID Number is not in the NBI Online Website database. We have an alternative method for that.
Let’s go back to our NBI Renewal tutorial. And since you received a notification that your data was successfully retrieved, the NBI Renewal registration form will change.
If you notice, it will automatically fill out (auto populate) the other personal information in the NBI Online Registration form. All you need to do is enter your mobile number, email address and your new password.
Fill in the required personal information and check the “Read and Accept Terms of Services” check box as well as the “I’m not a robot” button.
After doing the above just press the “SIGN UP” Button.
NBI OTP (One-Time Password)
NBI OTP or NBI One-Time Password is a security feature installed on the NBI Online Website to protect such websites against spam. This will prevent spammers from creating NBI Clearance Online fake accounts.
For your information, the NBI OTP or NBI One-Time Password is a six-digit number sent by the NBI Renewal website to the mobile phone number that you have entered in the NBI Renewal Registration form.
You will receive a text message containing these six digit numbers (NBI OTP) right after you pressed the “SIGN UP” button on your mobile phone.
A small window appears on the NBI Clearance Online website asking for the NBI OTP. You have 5 minutes to fill in the blank field with your unique NBI OTP in this window.
For the exact look of the NBI OTP window and the specific text message you receive, you can view the images below.
NBI One-Time Password (OTP) Window
NBI One-Time Password (OTP) Text Message
In case you did not receive your NBI OTP, you can use the “RE-SEND ONE-TIME PASSWORD (OTP)” button to send another message again. Just make sure five minutes have passed before doing so.
NBI Online Account Created
After correctly typing the six numbers mentioned in the NBI OTP Text message, you will notice that your NBI Online Account has been successfully created.
You can see a small notification window that your NBI Account was successfully created.
You can now proceed to to the next step where you can now log in to your account (NBI Online Login for Renewal).
You can skip the next step below because it is for the people who failed to use or NBI Renewal feature of the website. You can directly go to the NBI Online Login for Renewal
Registration of NEW NBI Clearance Online Account
This part of this tutorial is for the following NBI Renewal Applicants:
Applicants who have never had an NBI Clearance Online Account
Applicants who want an NBI Renewal but no longer have their hard copy or printed copy of NBI Clearance.
Applicants who still have their NBI Clearances but their NBI ID Number is not in the database (encountered an error “The system cannot find the given NBI ID“).
Applicants who still have their NBI Clearance but were issued before 2014.
If you are an NBI Renewal applicant who met the criteria above, this part of the tutorial is for you. This is the only way you can apply for a new NBI Clearance.
Note that this step is the registration of the NEW NBI ONLINE ACCOUNT even if you have an existing one already. I just want to inform you that if this is your process, your NBI Online Application is now NEW APPLICATION and not NBI Renewal.
The reason is that you are probably one those NBI Renewal Applicant who I have mentioned above which is no longer eligible for the NBI Renewal. New NBI Clearance Application is exactly what you need to do.
If you are one of the aforementioned applicants, this is what you need to do to register your NBI Online Account.
As I mentioned earlier, you should go to the official NBI Website (clearance.nbi.gov.ph).
Find the NBI Online Registration Form and fill in all the necessary details.
After filling in all the personal information required, click the “Read and Accept Terms of Services” check box and the “I’m not a robot”.
Click the “Sign up” button and wait for the small window that asks for NBI OTP.
A message will be sent containing six numbers, this is the NBI OTP where you will need to submit it to the NBI Website.
After that you will have your own NBI Clearance Online Account.
NBI Online Login for Renewal
If you follow the steps discussed above, you can now perform the NBI Online Login using your account credentials (email and password).
At the log in fields which can be found at the top, enter only your registered email address and your chosen password.
Click the sign in button, so you can access the NBI Clearance website itself.
If you successfully logged in to your NBI Renewal Account, you will see the already filled out NBI Online Registration Form. If you notice, your NBI Clearance Registration form is automatically filled with all your personal information.
The only reason for this is that your preferred method of applying for NBI Online is NBI RENEWAL and not NEW Application.
Whereas if your application is a Registration of NEW NBI Clearance Online Account (see the Registration of NEW NBI Clearance Online Account), your NBI Clearance registration form is blank and needs to be filled in your personal information.
We will not elaborate on the steps involved in filling out the personal information regarding the NBI Clearance NEW Application as we will focus on the NBI Renewal.
But if you still want to know how the NBI Clearance New application process works, I suggest you read our article on it. the link is below.
And since you have nothing to do after you have performed the NBI Online Login, your next step is to click the “APPLY FOR CLEARANCE” button so that you can start scheduling NBI Online Application.
If you still want to make changes to your personal information, you can do so through the “EDIT INFORMATION” button.
Step 3. NBI Renewal Requirements
After pressing the “APPLY FOR CLEARANCE” button, a small window will appear. All you have to do here is just choose from the list of NBI Clearance Requirements.
For everyone’s knowledge, valid IDs that can be used as NBI Clearance Requirement are as follows:
Expired NBI Clearance
SSS ID (UMID)
GSIS ID (ID)
Philippine Passport
Philhealth ID
Voter’s ID or Certificate of Registration
TIN ID
PRC License
Driver’s License
Pag-IBIG ID
NSO / PSA Authenticated Birth Certificate
Postal ID
Police Clearance Issued by the Police Station within the jurisdiction of the application’s residence
Certification from Local Civil Registrar
Certification from Malacanang for Indigenous Groups, Tribal membership and foundling
Solo Parent ID
Seaman’s Book
Senior Citizen ID
MARINA ID
Security License ID issued by PNP for Security Guards
You will also need to provide the ID Number of your selected Valid ID. This can be seen in the second blank space in the small window that is currently displayed on your screen.
Please note that the NBI Renewal Requirements and NBI Clearance Requirements for New application are the same.
All NBI Renewal Applicants are advised to bring two (2) valid IDs to present to the NBI Staff as proof of identity.
Press the “I AGREE” button to continue the process.
Step 4. Scheduling an Appointment for your NBI Renewal
After the steps above, another small window will appear. It simply states that your Registration Code or NBI Reference Number will be issued after you select the payment option.
The Reference number will serve as a gate pass to enter your selected NBI Clearance Processing Area.
Just click the “CLOSE” button to continue scheduling your appointment for the NBI Renewal.
On your screen will you see a calendar where each NBI Branches is open and closed for the next days and months.
But before all that, you need to choose the NBI Branch. Using your mouse, simply select the NBI Branch where you want to process your NBI Renewal by clicking the down arrow to show or display the long list of NBI Branches.
For our example, I will choose the NBI Clearance Center Main Branch located on UN Avenue.
You will see a blue box that says “PM” and “7 slots” on June 30, 2020. This simply means that the remaining and available schedule is on by June 30, 2020 in the afternoon (PM) and it has only 7 slots or 7 NBI Clearance applicants available can be catered / accomodated.
If there is no blue box on the day selected, it simply means that there are no slot. You need to select a different date for availability.
This time around, I chose the June 30, 2020 and PM schedule.
I would like to mention and put emphasis that all NBI Renewal Applicants who doesn’t have a confirmed NBI Online Appointment are not allowed. We already discussed this in our recent article about the Walk in for NBI Clearance.
Step 5. NBI Renewal Fee
The summary of your NBI Renewal can be seen on the right side of your screen if you’re using a desktop or laptop and on the bottom if you’re using a mobile phone.
The summary shows how much the initial NBI Clearance Fee is. It only costs P130.00, BUT this amount will increase by P25 due to the e-payment service fee.
Please note that what you see on the summary for the NBI Clearance Fee is not the final amount yet.
NBI Renewal Payment Option
From the NBI Renewal Summary, you’ll find six (6) Payment options that you can choose from. These are the following:
Just choose any of the payment options by clicking the box that contains your payment option.
I recommend choosing Bayad Center Outlets or 7-Eleven because of the number of branches scattered across the Philippines to make it easier.
A REMINDER
Once you click PROCEED TO PAYMENT here are the next steps:
A PAYMENT PAGE will open with your REFERENCE NUMBER.
Go to the nearest PAYMENT CENTER or LBC and pay using your REFERENCE NUMBER.
Another additional fee to add is the P15 convenience fee. The convenience fee may change depending on the Payment Option you choose.
The total amount of your NBI Clearance Fee is now P130 + P25 + P15 = P170.00.
Just click the “Proceed to Payment” button to continue.
A small window will appear again and it will display your NBI Reference Number As well as your NBI Clearance amount.
You may be confused as it says it only costs P155. But as I mentioned before, you still have to pay an extra P15 which goes directly to the Bayad Center or 7-Eleven or any Payment Option you choose.
Write your NBI Reference number on a piece of paper or take a screenshot to make sure you don’t forget it. Note that your NBI Reference Number will be used to pay your NBI Clearance fee and this will also be your gate pass once you have gone to your NBI Branch.
Just press the “Accept” button. When you reached this point of the tutorial, this is the time where you job is done using the NBI Clearance Online Website. You may now close the NBI Renewal website and proceed to the Step 6. NBI Renewal Fee.
Step 6. NBI Renewal Fee Payment
The next step is to actually pay your NBI Clearance Fee on your selected Payment Option from Step 5 (NBI Renewal Payment Option).
We will not explain this in detail because each process of the Payment Options varies. But they all agree on two things. These are the amounts of the NBI Clearance Fee and the NBI Reference Number.
Just go to your selected Payment Option (for example Bayad Center or 7-Eleven). The NBI Reference number must be provided to Cashier so that it can be encoded. Your name and other details will appear on his or her computer.
Pay the NBI Renewal Fee of P170. Please note that your payment may be cheaper or more expensive than what I have mentioned (P170) as the “Convenience Fee” imposed by each Payment Center is also different.
Keep the receipt as evidence that you have already paid the NBI Online Fee.
Question: Can I pay my NBI Clearance Fee on another Payment Option? Suppose I chose Bank (Over the Counter) but I would like to pay it in 7-Eleven or at the Bayad Center because it’s much closer from where I am now.
Answer: NO. The NBI Reference Number is specific and exclusive to your Payment Option. The issued and generated NBI Reference Number payable to 7-Eleven is different from the issued and generated payable to the Bank (Over the counter).
If you insist on it, your NBI Clearance Reference number cannot be retrieved in 7-Eleven or Bayad Center’s computer because that NBI Reference Number is exclusively for the Bank (Over the Counter).
I wish we were clear on that. If you still have any questions, just leave a comment so I can help you.
Step 7. Processing of NBI Renewal
This is the final process of applying an NBI Clearance. This is the step where you can find and process the document you submitted to NBI Online.
If you remember, you scheduled an appointment with the NBI Branch, right? All you have to do is go on the day of your NBI Online appointment. Arrive at the time of your choice (be it morning or afternoon). Your NBI Online Appointment doesn’t have a specific time but you should still be following in the morning or afternoon schedule.
Just a reminder, just follow the rules of proper dress code. Make sure you wear shoes and trousers (for men) because there are other NBI Branches that are strictly in dress codes.
What should I expect when I get to the NBI Clearance Branch?
The following are the activities that will take place while you are processing your NBI Clearance.
Photo Capture
This is the step where you just take the latest picture. There is nothing you can do here but just stand and look in front of the camera. The photo taken will appear on your NBI Clearance.
Biometrics
Biometrics is the step where your finger prints will be scanned using the NBI Online Branch scanner. Don’t worry about this step because you will be assisted by the NBI Clearance Staff on what to do.
All you have to do is relax your fingers and let the NBI Clearance Staff scan them.
Data Verification
After Photo Capture and Biometrics, NBI Clearance Staff will be verify all the personal information you have written on the NBI Online Application Form. You will be asked by the NBI Clearance Staff if they are correct.
You may correct other personal details that you believe are incorrect or not updated. Here you can also change the fields that you cannot edit such as First Name, Middle Name, Last name or your Maiden Name for Married Women.
You can also change your civil status here.
After you verify all personal information on your NBI Clearance is correct, the NBI Clearance staff will submit it for additional verification.
HIT or No Hit
From Data Verification, there will be additional verification where your name will be searched from the list of people who have applied for NBI Clearance previously, people with pending cases, criminal record or outstanding warrant of arrest.
NBI Renewal Online Releasing
If you have a namesake, your NBI Clearance will be hold for 10 working days before it is released. You will be asked to return on the specified date the NBI Clearance Staff asked you to claim your NBI Clearance (whether its an NBI Renewal or New Application).
If you do not have namesake, your NBI Clearance will be released immediately. You need to go to the NBI Online Releasing Area and wait 15 to 45 mins depending on the number of applicants waiting.
This is where our tutorial on how to apply for NBI Renewal ends.
Conclusion on NBI Renewal
In my opinion, the NBI Renewal process is easier than the New Application because you do not have to write all your personal information in the NBI Online Application Form because they will already extract from their database.
You will achieve this if you do the the NBI Renewal process, which is what we have suggested that you follow by typing in your NBI ID Number so the Renewal Website can retrieve it.
It’s unfortunate if you have typed your NBI ID Number and the NBI Renewal website can’t retrieve it for some reasons such as your NBI ID Number cannot be found on their database. What’s left to do is just register a new NBI Clearance Online Account.
Please note that the NBI Clearance Quick Renewal are already discontinued as confirmed by the NBI. You cannot use this convenient NBI Application Process due to unknown reasons.
I am giving all the readers a chance to ask questions or leave anything they can say about our NBI Renewal tutorial.
Just write your questions in the comment section below and we’ll answer them as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!
NBI Clearance Requirement — We already published a handful of articles about the NBI Clearance Requirements but we never get tired of writing about it.

The good thing about this is we never get tired to answer those simple questions we frequently receive.
The thing is, If you just read our articles or even open the links we have provided, you can easily know what are the requirements in NBI Renewal.

NBI Clearance Online Appointment
Can I Get NBI Clearance Without Appointment?
Obviously, NOPE! We will publish a separate article about this topic to explain to you why an NBI Online Appointment is required and helps us all applicant with the application.
Anyway, An NBI Clearance Online Appointment is required for you to present before you can enter the premises of the NBI Clearance Centers. It is important to follow this rule. Don’t argue with the guards or NBI Personnel that you don’t have an NBI appointment because this rule have been implemented several years ago. You must comply with the rules.
Though there are a few exceptions to this rule where a person can or allowed do a “walk in application for NBI Clearance” but this topic will be discussed separately.
Note: This article is in reference with the NBI Clearance Requirements and NBI Clearance Renewal article that we have published. We decided to write this to assist all applicants asking what are the NBI Clearance Requirements.
NBI Clearance Renewal Requirements
As mentioned earlier, we will be providing you a list of all the accepted valid IDs in NBI Clearance application. Again, you must present at least two (2) of these. Select the Valid IDs that you have.
Issued by SSS, this ID is a plastic laminated card proving the NBI Clearance Applicant is a member of Social Security System. If you don’t have one yet, I suggest that you secure your SSS ID from the nearest SSS Branch.
GSIS ID (UMID)
The GSIS ID, is issued exclusively to all employees currently employed by the Government. Much like the SSS ID, this card proves the membership of the owner to the GSIS Agency. Not most people have this unlike the previous SSS ID due to the exclusivity of membership.
Philippine Passport
A Philippine Passport is an official document issued by the Philippine Government through the efforts of our Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) certifying the owner’s identity and citizenship which entitles them to travel under its protection to and from foreign countries.
Most of the time, the Philippine Passport is used when traveling abroad whether from leisure or work. It is a small booklet that typically contain’s the personal information of the owner such as the complete name, photo, signature date and place of birth, passport issue date and expiry date and lastly the passport number and QR code.
PhilHealth ID
PhilHealth or Philippine Health Insurance Corporation is a government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC) to ensure the health of every Filipino members through social health insurance. PhilHealth issues an ID to all its member for free as long as the member qualifies. This ID also is accepted in applying NBI Clearance.
PAG-IBIG ID
The PAG-IBIG ID, just like the previously mentioned items above qualifies as an NBI Clearance Renewal Requirements.
PAG-IBIG Fund also known as HDMF (Home Development Mutual Fund) is also a Philippine GOCC which is responsible for the administration of our national savings program. A benefit offered by this agency is to provide affordable shelter financing to its active members. PAG-IBIG also issues an identification card which deemed valid as an NBI Renewal Requirement.
Voter’s ID or Certificate of Registration
Any citizen of the Philippines can easily get a Voter’s ID or Certificate of Registration. All you have to do is is undergo the process of registration organized by the Commission of Election (COMELEC).
A Certificate of Registration and a Voter’s ID will be issued to the person who registered. This can be used as a requirement for NBI Clearance.
TIN ID
A Tax Identification Number ID is a document that Bureau of Internal Revenues issues to all tax payers. If you are employed, we’re sure that you have come accross this document.
This one is also a valid when your doing an NBI Online Application.
PRC License
Any Filipino citizen who are at least 18 to 21 years old and a graduate or holder of a degree from any University who passed the Professional Regulatory Commission Licensure Examination will be issued a PRC License valid to be used on their chosen field of industry.
Driver’s License for NBI Clearance Renewal Requirements
“Having a driver’s license is not a right, its a priviledge.”
Heck, I can still remember this question from my Driver’s License Exam. I won’t forget this phrase. As I have said, this is only available to those who are authorized by the Land Transportation Office to handle a moving vehicle. The government requires people to pass the LTO driving examination, both written and practical before this ID will be issued.
NSO/PSA Authenticated Birth Certificate
An NSO or PSA Authenticated Birth Certificate is a vital and important record that establises the birth of a child. It is an official document where it gives the details on the date, time and place of a person’s birth. It also shows personal information such as the complete name, mother’s and father’s name, location (city, municipality and province) where the person was born.
NSO or PSA Authenticated Birth Certificate is frequently confused as an invalid NBI Clearance Online Renewal Requirements. But the truth is, it is acceptable. As long as the birth certificate is authenticated by PSA or NSO, and accompanieb by another government issued ID listed here, you’ll encounter any problem.
Postal ID Card
The postal ID is a primary form of identification for many Filipinos and is most widely accepted means of identification in postal transaction. It is also use as proof of identity in terms of transaction between banks and other financial institutions.
The best thing about Postal ID is that anyone can apply for it by providing one proof of identity.
Police Clearance Issued by the Police Station within the jurisdiction of the applicant’s residence
Another Valid NBI Clearance Renewal Requirements is the Police Clearance which anyone can obtain by just applying for one in any police station situated in the jurisdiction of the applicant’s residence.
If the applicant is currently residing in Taguig, the applicant can only apply for the Police Clearance in Taguig’s Police Station. Any Police Station within the Philippines are not authorized to issue any clearance to the said applicant unless he or she can prove his residence to its jurisdiction.
Senior Citizen ID
Senior Citizens also enjoys the benefit of a “walk in NBI Clearance Application” where they are not required to secure an NBI Clearance Appointment as long as they can provide their Senior Citizen ID. The said ID can be obtained by a senior citizen through the Municipal’s Office of the Senior Citizen Affair Office. The said office is usually located at the City Municipal Hall.
Security License ID issued by PNP for Security Guards
Even our fellow Security Guard who are employed to protect an establishment or a person against physical damage or any unlawful acts has their own exclusive valid ID which is also adequate for applying NBI Clearance.
The aforementioned valid ID is issued by Security Licensing Division to all the private security personnels.
MARINA ID
Maritime Industry Authority or MARINA has been issuing the MARINA ID to all Merchant Marine Officers as proof of Professional Identifation. All MARINA IDs are valid to be used for financial transactions with different financial institutions and any Government Agencies.
Certification from Malacanang for Indigenous Groups, Tribal membership and foundling
A certification from Malacanang for specific purpose such as recognition of membership of a certain Tribal or Indigenous Groups can also be used as an NBI Clearance Renewal Requirement.
As for the details of this document, you may contact first your City Town Hall.
Solo Parent ID
A Solo Parent ID is a government issued valid ID for all Filipino solo or single parents in the Philippines.Any Solo parents who have this ID can take advantage of specific discounts and benefits mandated by law.
Another usage of this valid ID is it can be presented as a requirement in your NBI Clearance renewal application.
Seaman’s Book
Exclusively issued to our fellow Seafarers, this valid ID is a document of record of a seaman’s service issued by the Philippine Government. This certifies that the owner is a seaman set by theInternational Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for Seafarers(STCW), 1978.
The Seaman’s Book is also required document for applying crew transit visas.
The record of employment on board of a merchant ship (sea service) is recorded in a Seaman Service Book.
Certification from Local Civil Registrar
The Local Civil Registrar may provide a certification as a temporary substitute who doesn’t have any available Birth Certificate yet. This document is valid when presented in applying for your NBI Clearance.
Conclusion on NBI Clearance Renewal Requirements
Having discussed all the valid IDs we have went through one by one above, please note (this is important), that all the mentioned valid IDs must be:
In good condition, meaning no tear, stains or bear bite marks or gone through water or flood.
Still valid, meaning not yet expired. Well, except for your old NBI Clearance.

Common Questions about NBI Clearance Appointment
QUESTION: What if I missed my schedule in NBI Clearance?
You can still go the next day and process your application. Your Reference Number for the application have an expiration of fifteen (15) days including the weekends.
QUESTION: I have set an appointment and paid it, can I go one or several days earlier?
Let me just expand this question for better explanation. Say for example, I set an appointment on January 15, 2020. The question is can I go earlier, let’s say January 5, 2020 or January 14, 2020?
The straight forward answer is NO.
The reason behind this is the National Bureau of Investigation implemented the automation and appointment system of NBI Application due minimize and manage the volume of applicants. Everyday, an NBI Branch has a quota or maximum number of applicants that it can cater to avoid the long queue lines and backlogs.
Plus, an appointment is a formal arrangement between you (as an applicant) and the NBI to meet or visit at a particular time and place.
QUESTION: Can I go to an NBI Branch different from my scheduled NBI Clearance Appointment?
I’m expanding this question for better explanation. So for example, I have set an appointment in NBI Main Building located at Taft Avenue. My appointment is confirmed meaning I already paid it. But then I decided that I want to process this in Quezon City Hall, is this practice allowed?
The straight forward answer is NO.
Again, you may read my answer explanation to the above question.

Have your signature! It’s like the normal way but this time its not in paper. They have the device where your signature will be captured!

The NBI Clearance Personnel will ask you to proceed to the Printing Section or return some other day. If you are asked to go to the Printing Section, then you’re in luck! You will receive your NBI Clearance immediately.
If you are asked to return on a specified date, that means you have a HIT and further verification will be done. Don’t worry, its fine. They just need to do a verification because its either you have a namesake.
CONCLUSION on NBI Clearance Renewal
As you have noticed, NBI Renewal Online is easy since (I’ve been mentioning this several times) you or the applicant has an NBI Clearance Online account already. All He or She have to do is log in to their account, schedule an appointment, pay the fees and process the NBI Clearance on site. That’s it!
The process takes at least 15 to 30 minutes of our time if we’re going to do the process from the start up to the payment of the fees.
If you’re going to ask us, is this faster? I would probably say YES. That’s because a step from the entire process was eliminated. The step of signing up for a new account and filling all the personal details are is completely removed.
NBI Online Registration — Welcome to NBI CLEARANCE ONLINE. A page dedicated to help fellow Filipinos to apply for their NBI Clearance conveniently and avoid any hassle as much as possible.
Today, we’ll be discussing the NBI Online Registration which all NBI Clearance Online Applicant must do.

He or She must submit an NBI Online Application form by completing all the required personal information such as Gender, Civil Status, Birth Date (Month, Date and Year), First Name, Middle Name, Surname, Mobile Number, his or her email address and their preferred and secured password.

But before the NBI Clearance Registration approves your application, it needs to be verified using a one time password.

NBI Online Registration
How to do an NBI Online Registration — in this section, we will discuss how you can easily do an NBI Clearance Online Registration. Through this tutorial, we guarantee each and every one that they will be familiar at the NBI Online Registration procedures after reading our guide.
We will be providing text based instructions as well as images for everyone’s reference so our discussion will be crystal clear. Right at this time, without hesitation or delay. Let’s start the tutorial on NBI Clearance Registration.
To get started, open your favorite browser and navigate to the NBI Clearance website, which is https://clearance.nbi.gov.ph/.
This is the official website of NBI Clearance Online Registration. When you arrive at the page, there are several pop out window that will greet you. All you have to do is just close it by clicking the “I AGREE” and “CLOSE” button respectively.
NBI ONLINE REGISTRATION
This is the start of your account registration. In the web page, at the right portion of your screen (if you are using a desktop), find the box that says “REGISTER“.
The Registration process has methods of submitting your application, these are the following:
The first method, the users has an existing copy of NBI Clearance that the user or applicant is required to enter his or her NBI ID Number in the Registration form.
This option is for the applicants who don’t have an NBI Clearance Online Account yet but have an NBI Clearance or forgotten their log in details to their NBI Clearance Online Account but have an NBI Clearance.
Though there are various incidents as told by our readers here that when they do enter their NBI Clearance, an error occurs that prevents them to register.
As we have experienced also, the website says that the NBI Clearance ID Number was invalid even though its correct. Our scientific hunch to this error is that the NBI Clearance ID Number was not found on their Database. There is no official statement for this from the Official NBI Website though as we mention, this is only our guess.
The second method is for the users or applicants who do not have an Existing NBI Clearance and do not have an NBI Clearance Online Account yet. For this procedure, the applicant doesn’t need to provide any NBI ID Number. He or she just need to fill up the form with the personal information requested.
This is also the procedure for all first time applicant which we usually recommends to do.
So which one should you choose?
To be honest, it depends upon your situation. If you have an existing NBI Clearance with you, tick the check box that says “YES”. If you already registered before but forgotten you log in details (ex. email address or password) and you have your NBI Clearance with you then you should choose “YES”. If you don’t have an NBI Clearance yet, tick the check box that says “NO”.
Moving on… For this tutorial, we will tick the “NO” because we’re assuming that you don’t have an existing NBI Clearance yet.
Now, in the NBI Clearance Online Registration Form, enter the following details:
Gender
Civil Status
Birth Date (Month, Date and Year)
First Name
Middle Name
Surname
Mobile Number
Email Address
and your Preferred and Secured Password
Lastly, tick the check box next to the text that says “READ and ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICES“.
The website will present you the Terms of Service of the website.
You have the freedom to read it. Once finished, press the button “AGREE” to continue.
It will return to your previous registration form, click the “SIGN UP” button found at the bottom to submit your NBI Online Application.
A One-Time Password (OTP) will be sent to your mobile phone. Its usually a six (6) digit number which you need to enter in the space provided by the NBI website. See example below.
An exact example of the One-Time Password is the one shown in the screenshot below. This is the exact text message we received when we registered for NBI Clearance.
Now, the next step is enter correctly the OTP in the website. If, for any reason, you didn’t received this OTP text message from NBI Clearance. You need to click the “RE-SEND ONE-TIME PASSWORD (OTP)” button so the NBI Website will send new a new one.
If you still didn’t receive any texts, you should go back to your registration form and check the mobile number you entered for correctness. You should also consider your mobile phone signal or reception. Sometimes, text are delayed due to poor signals.
CONFIRMATION OF SUCCESSFUL NBI ONLINE REGISTRATION
Once you have entered the One-Time Pin, a small green box will appear located at the top right side of your screen. The message says that you have successfully registered an NBI Account.

This NBI Online Registration tutorial is now complete! Our goal to discuss the NBI Clearance Registration was achieved and we’re glad you finished reading it up to here.
Yep! You’ve heard it right! What we’ve discussed above is only for the NBI Clearance Registration only. This is only a portion or part of the entire process of applying for NBI Clearance Online.
This is the first step for you. You still have to do the other three (3) steps.
This post is updated as of January 1, 2021. This NBI Clearance 2021 Tutorial guide will cover the entire process on how an applicant will be be able to apply for a new NBI Clearance for the year 2021.
NBI Clearance Online as the name suggest is a type of a Government issued clearance provided by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) that verifies the person’s identity and criminal historical background which can be obtained thru NBI Clearance Online Website.
Having an NBI Clearance plays a vital role in job employment in the Philippines. Majority of the employers requires its new employee to submit their latest copy of this document.
NBI Clearance also serves as a valid Identification Document which most establishments asks to its customers. From Banks, airports, credit card companies and others. The said document is accepted.
The actual and printed NBI Clearance displays or shows the owner’s personal information such as their complete full name, current address, date and place of birth. this way, any person who holds this aforementioned document can prove his or her identity and also serves as a quick background check of the owner’s criminal history.
Before we dive in to our topic, I just want to let you know that we have written a guide about the NBI Renewal in 7 Easy Steps. You might find it helpful in renewing your NBI Clearance.
NBI Clearance Purposes
NBI Clearance can be use in different transactions. It doesn’t focus only as an employment requirement, in fact, it serves several purposes and these are the following:
A. Proof of Identity
Where as we mentioned before, the said document will serve as a valid identification document of the owner which is recognized by various establishments and Government Agencies.
It can also be use as a valid ID requirement when getting or applying for SSS Membership, Driver’s License, Professional Licenses and other government document any Filipino wants to apply.
B. Local Employment
As we are saying previously, most of all the companies located in the Philippines requires their new employees to apply for a new NBI Clearance so the employer can easily verify the identity of the applicant as well as its criminal history.
This way, the employers are confident that they will hire a person with no outstanding or existing criminal case which prevents the employers future troubles.
C. Modification of Legal Documents
For some unknown reasons, our legal documents such as Birth Certificate or Marriage Certificates contains erroneous entries such as incorrect name, gender, birth place or any personal information found in those documents. But through the use of NBI Clearance, the applicant can now request for the correction of it by presenting his or her NBI Clearance as an additional documentary requirement requested by any Government Office who facilitate these kinds of correction.
Travel Purposes
When planning to travel abroad either for vacation or for work, Embassies of other countries requires you to submit a latest NBI Clearance before they issue you a travel or working visa.
Embassy such as USA, Japan and other European countries are very strict as to who they allow to enter their country in terms of criminal history. If you have an existing or outstanding criminal case and it reflects in your NBI Clearance, chances are you won’t get to enter their country. Your VISA application will be instantly be denied.
Again, the sole purpose of this is just to provide the Embassy a background check of the visa applicant who wants to enter their country. But sometimes, Embassy ignores the NBI Clearance and allow people to have their entry visa.

If your NBI Clearance ID Number was not found, it will show you this image stating that “The system cannot find the given NBI ID”.
This means that you can’t proceed with your NBI Clearance Renewal and must register as a NEW Application.
If your NBI Clearance ID No. can’t be found in the database for whatever reasons, that means you won’t be able to renew your NBI Clearance and all you have to do apply as a NEW NBI Online Application.
Going back to the tutorial, assuming that you have successfully retrieved your NBI Clearance ID no. It will display this “REGISTER” window where it will be automatically filled up with your details such as your Gender, Marital Status, Date of Birth and your Complete Name.
The last three field boxes are for you to fill up. Enter your email address and your nominated password.

Just to make sure, ask the cashier how much is the final amount that you should be paying as the Convenience Fee varies depending on the Payment Center.
Keep the receipt as proof of your payment. Now, Log in back to your NBI Clearance Account and check if your payment is already reflected
You can do this by clicking the TRANSACTIONS Menu. You will see the status of your application.
If its PENDING, just wait for it to change status to PAID.
If you see that its PAID, you can click the DETAILS button to print your NBI Clearance Online Application.
Note that printing the application form is not mandatory. All you need to do is just take note or take a picture of the NBI Clearance Reference Number.
This tutorial is almost done. But before we go, we’ll discuss the final steps.
After the payment, the applicant needs to wait for his or her scheduled appointment to arrive.
Make sure to bring two (2) valid ID that will be presented as a requirement in applying for NBI Renewal.
You can also bring your own Philippine National ID or PhilSys ID or SSS ID. If you don’t have one yet, here’s the guide on how to apply.
When the day of the appointment arrives, make sure to be there on time. If you scheduled AM, arrive at the NBI branch 8AM to 12PM. While if you scheduled PM, be there 1PM to 4PM.
Photo capture and Biometrics will be done at the NBI Branch. It will usually take 5 to 10 minutes depending on the volume of the applicants.
The applicant will also have a chance to review all the personal information written on his or her NBI Online Clearance before it gets printed. Here’s the chance where you can correct or modify all the information written if you want it to be changed.
NBI Clearance Quick Renewal — Today, we’re going to discuss the NBI Clearance Quick Renewal. A new feature added in NBI Clearance website where the applicant of NBI Clearance can just request it online and wait for it to be delivered at the specified home address.
Announcement! The NBI Clearance Quick Renewal feature of the website is TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE for unknown reasons. You may continue using the website and have your NBI Online Registration.
To all applicants, you may try the NBI Renewal process.
www.nbiclearance.org/nbi-clearance-online-updated
You’ve heard it right. The NBI Clearance will be delivered to your doorsteps. No more personal appearance. No more queue lines. No more PhotoCapture and Biometrics. Nadah! All you have to do is wait!
The drawback about this thing NBI Clearance Quick Renewal is its not available to all. That means, NEW Applicants of NBI Clearance are not allowed to avail this service.
The Quick Renewal of NBI Clearance Online is only available to all applicants who have their own NBI Clearance issued between 2014 to present AND to those NBI Clearance ID Numbers can be found in the website.
Unfortunately, missing NBI Clearance ID numbers can’t avail this service.
Another disadvantage of this service is its much more expensive because it includes delivery fee. Unlike the conventional method of NBI Clearance Renewal which only costs you P170.
Before we start our tutorial, I need to inform everyone that the process of NBI Clearance Quick Renewal won’t work if you don’t have your NBI ID No.
The NBI ID No. is vital to NBI Clearance Quick Renewal because it will be used to pull your NBI Clearance from the Database of NBI to facilitate your application. There’s no way you can’t proceed with the steps in NBI Clearance Quick Renewal if you don’t have your NBI ID No.
Below is the sample of an NBI Clearance showing where to find the NBI ID No. that you can use when applying for NBI Clearance Quick Renewal
How to apply for NBI Clearance Quick Renewal
Visit the official website of NBI Clearance (https://clearance.nbi.gov.ph) and locate the button for NBI Clearance Quick Renewal feature.
Click the button that says “NBI Clearance Quick Renewal” to start your NBI Clearance renewal process.
After that, it will open a small pop up window where it will ask you to enter your NBI ID Number.
As mentioned earlier, this only works to all NBI Clearance issued 2014 to 2018.
You can refer to your old or expired NBI Clearance for your NBI ID number.
Click the “VERIFY” button to continue.
Note: If after entering your NBI ID Number, you encountered an error saying “The system cannot find the given NBI ID Number”, this means that you can’t use with the NBI Clearance Quick Renewal.
For some unknown reasons, there are NBI Clearances that are missing or not saved in the database of the NBI. If you’re one of the few who encountered this, then you can’t proceed with the process.
My advice to you is to apply for an NBI Clearance as a NEW Application and not as a Renewal.
Take note of the NBI Clearance Fee that you will be paying. If you’re just located within Metro Manila, its P355. It may change if you’re outside of Metro Manila.
The amount you’re seeing (P330) is not final yet. Ignore this for the meantime.
If you’re going to pay this in Bayad Center, Multipay or ECPay, expect that there’s additional charges.
Press the NEXT button to proceed to the next step.
Enter your Date of Birth (Month, Day and Year). Now select from the three Payment options provided. There’s Bayad Center, Multipay and ECPay.
For the sake of this tutorial, we’ll select Bayad Center to pay for our NBI Clearance.
Click the icon/logo of Bayad center shown from the screeshot above.
You will be directed to another small pop up window. It contains a reminder, please read it carefully.
Press the “NEXT” button to proceed with your NBI Clearance Quick Renewal.
The next window will show you again the amount you’ll be paying.
Noticed that it shows you P330 but if you look at the bottom, there’s a note stating that an additional fee amounting to P25 will be charged.
As of this moment, your NBI Clearance Fee is now P355.
Press the “PROCEED” button.
Once you pressed the proceed button, the NBI Clearance Reference Number will be shown.
The NBI Clearance Reference Number will be used when you pay your NBI Clearance Fee in Bayad Center.
Show this to the cashier and pay the appropriate amount.
Again, there’s additional fee charged to the original NBI Clearance Fee (P355) by Bayad Center.
NBI Clearance Fee Payment Online
Bonus Tip! You can now pay Your NBI Clearance Fee Online!
That’s right, you can now pay your NBI Clearance Fees Online without leaving your home!
But (yes, there’s a but), this feature is not available for all. The requirement to avail this NBI Clearance Fee Online Payment is that the user must have a Bayad Center Account and (the most important) a Verified Paypal Account.
To be able to have a Bayad Center account, you just have to register an account through their website. Just go to https://domestic.bayadcenteronline.com/account and start your account registration.
The next requirement for this process to succeed is to have a verified Paypal account. To have a Verified Paypal Account requires a credit card. If you have a credit card then you can easily create a paypal account.
Anyway, we will not discuss how to register an account with paypal more deeper.
To continue the tutorial, go to the Bayad Center website (https://domestic.bayadcenteronline.com).
Browse or scroll the page down and find the “GOVERNMENT” icon. Click the “View Items” button.
This opens a new page showing all the Government agencies accepted by Bayad Center to process various payments.
Look for the logo of NBI. It’s usually the second from the list.
Click the “View Details” button.
It will direct you to the NBI Payment Reference Details page where you have to input the Reference Number (usually 10 characters), the amount due (P355) and your contact number.
Note: You have to enter the Amount Due twice. That is the two blank spaces located at the left (under Reference Number) and the Amount to Pay (under National Bureau of Investigation – NBI).
In the “Additional Instructions” field, you don’t have to input anything in it. You may leave it blank.
Press the “Add to Cart” button.
It will bring you to the “Checkout” page where there’s the final summary of your payment.
One button exist and that is the “PAY NOW” button. Click it to finalise your payment.
NBI Clearance Fee Payment Using Paypal
The “Pay Now” button will redirect the page to a Paypal login. Log in your email address and password.
When you successfully logged in, it will show you the same page where it contains how much you’ll be paying using your Paypal Account.
Press “Pay Now”.
A confirmation page will show up after the previous step.
If you’re seeing the the same screenshot below, that means, you’ve successfully paid your NBI Clearance Fee using your Paypal.
Hoooray!
If you click the “Return to Merchant”, it will bring you back to Bayad Center Website showing your Order.
Your order will show you that your payment is still pending for the mean time. All you have to do is to wait at least five (5) to thirty (30) minutes.
After a few minutes, the status of your payment will change from PENDING to COMPLETE.
Check your email address. Bayad Center Online will be sending you an email stating the confirmation of the completion of your Order.
This concludes our tutorial on how to apply an NBI Clearance Quick Renewal feature of the NBI Clearance Website.
All you have to do now is to wait for your NBI Clearance Quick Renewal to be delivered at your door steps. It usually takes five (5) to ten (10) working days before it gets delivered so be patient.
Before we go, the only thing missing in this process which the NBI Clearance Agency forgot to include is the ability of the applicant to verify or track the status of the delivery of his or her NBI Clearance.
Three (3) working days have past and I was surprise that there’s a knock on my door. It was the delivery man from LBC and handing me this small brown envelop!
It seems that LBC is handling the delivery of all NBI Clearance Quick Renewal Applications.
When I opened it, it was my NBI Clearance! Hoooray! I got my NBI Clearance Renewal hassle free! That was easy right? I didn’t have to schedule an NBI Online Appointment and leave the house.

To be honest there’s no major changes from the previous process. Just minor modifications from our previous articles plus an Frequently Asked Questions where we have gathered from the comments section of our website.
The thing is, NBI Clearance Online registration is much more easier now because (First) you can fill up the application form online. That means you can do it in the comforts of your home using your desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphones.
Third, payment can also be done online. That means using your Paypal account. But that’s different article and discussion. We won’t mention it in this article.
Unfortunately, the NBI Clearance Online Applicant still needs to go to his or her chosen NBI Clearance Branch to process the application.
Though based on our recent experience, NBI Clearance in Main Office are now much faster.
Before we start discussing the step by step guide on how to get an NBI Clearance, we’ll give you first a quick overview on the steps to follow.
A more detailed discussion can be seen right down below.
How to Apply NBI Clearance
Below are the steps on how to apply for an NBI Clearance. You can click the link so you will be directed to the specific step you want to read.
First thing to do is to go to the official website of NBI Clearance (https://clearance.nbi.gov.ph). Type in to your browser the web address which I highlighted in the previous sentence.
For this tutorial, we will focus on discussing the process on how to apply for NBI Clearance from scratch. That means, the user or the applicant of NBI Clearance don’t have an NBI Clearance Online Account yet.
If you’re here looking for the guide on NBI Clearance RENEWAL, I suggest you read our article which focuses on NBI Clearance Renewal.
New application and NBI Renewal of NBI Clearance have two different process. New application of NBI Clearance requires account registration through the website while renewal of NBI Clearance skips the registration and only asks for your Old NBI Clearance Number. There’s also an option for Quick Renewal which will tackle on a different post.
Going back to the tutorial on how to apply NBI Clearance Online, when you arrive at the website, on the right side of your screen, you’ll see a small box saying “REGISTER”.
Note that if you’re using your mobile phone to apply for NBI Clearance Online, the “REGISTER” box can be seen at the middle of your screen and NOT on the right side. You just have to scroll to see it.
Find the text “DO YOU HAVE AN OLD NBI CLEARANCE?” and tick the checkbox next to “NO”. We selected this answer because as we mentioned earlier, we are only discussing the NBI Clearance NEW Application and NOT the renewal.
Once you have provided the answer to the first question, the registration box will change and a more detailed registration form will be displayed.
Enter your Gender, Civil Status, Birth Date, your complete name (First, Middle and Last name), your email address and nominate a secure password.
After filling up the required personal information, click the check box next to the “I ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICE” and press the “SIGN UP” button.
QUESTION: I just recently got married and I want to use my Husband’s last name, what should I do?
If you’ve just got married and trying to obtain an NBI Clearance using your husband’s last name, there’s a more detailed tutorial on doing this. We’ll provide the link to the article on the next few days.
The website will confirm if your registration is successful. Now, using your email address and your nominated password, sign in to your account.
When you have successfully logged in to your NBI Clearance Online Account, you’ll be directed at NBI Clearance Online Application Form. This requires you to complete the form by filling up the other personal information.
Complete the NBI Clearance Application Form by entering the following personal information:
Name
Address
Birth Date and Birth Place
Citizenship
Educational Attainment
Occupation
Your Parents Name and Birth place
Weight
Height
Make sure to enter those information correctly to avoid errors in your printed NBI Clearance. Though if you have entered an incorrect info, you can still make modification and correct it.
Once done, press the button “SAVE INFORMATION” button located at the bottom of the page.
QUESTION: I noticed that I made a mistake in one of my personal information. How can I correct this?
As I’ve mentioned earlier, the incorrect information you have entered can be corrected. All you need to do is click the “EDIT INFORMATION” button.
The EDIT button will take you back to your NBI Clearance Application Form where you can correct the information you’re trying to modify.
Press the SAVE INFORMATION button once changes has been made.
Note that the changes that you’ve made will reflect on your printed NBI Clearance IF AND ONLY IF you made the changes before you paid your NBI Clearance Online Fee.
If you paid your NBI Clearance Fee then modified your NBI Clearance Application form, the changes will not be reflected on the printed NBI Clearance.
The solution to this is to ask the NBI Clearance Personnel to manually overwrite what’s written on your NBI Clearance Form and correct it.
Click the “APPLY FOR CLEARANCE” button to proceed with the application.
After clicking the button, a small pop up box will appear asking for your confirmation and the Valid ID that you will present.
In the example above, I have written Passport as my valid ID that I will present but make sure to bring two (2) Valid IDs as this is required when applying for an NBI Clearance.
On this part, you are now required to schedule an NBI Online Appointment. This is the time you have to select the Branch where you want to process your NBI Clearance and select the time when you want to process it.
Select the NBI Branch where you want to process your NBI Clearance. This is the place where you will submit your application and will be printed.

In terms of time, there are only two options which are AM (Morning) and PM (Afternoon).
The image below is the exact screenshot of the page where you will schedule your appointment in NBI Clearance.
The next thing to do is the selection of your preferred Date and Time. NBI Clearance Office Hours are as follows: Monday to Friday, 9AM to 5PM. Please note that NBI Clearance Branches also depends on National and Local Holidays.
3. NBI Clearance Fee Payment
After selecting the NBI Clearance Branch, Date and Time of your application, at the right side of your computer screen, choose the payment option that is convenient for you.
The screenshot below shows the same exact thing you’ll see in your screen.
From the six (6) option, choose the best payment method that is best for you. In my case, I prefer payment of my NBI Clearance in 7-Eleven or Bayad Center because these payment centers can be easily located near my house.
Click any icon of the NBI Clearance Payment Option. For the sake of this tutorial, I will pay my NBI Clearance in Bayad Center.
A small pop up window will show up. Just press the “PROCEED” button.
After clicking the button, a summary of payment will be shown. Again, press the “PROCEED TO PAYMENT”.
The next pop up window will display your NBI Online Payment Reference Number.
It is important to take note of this Reference Number. Write it down or take a screenshot or photo of this because this will be used when paying your NBI Clearance in Bayad Center.
It will also show you the (expected) amount to be paid. The total amount and breakdown of the amount to be paid is also shown which is composed of the NBI Clearance Fee and the System Fee.
Note that any charges from Bayad center is not yet included here. This means that Bayad Center have the authority to include a certain amount to be paid when you availed their services.
Press the “ACCEPT” button once you’re done taking note of the NBI Payment reference number.
You will be directed back to the home page of the NBI Clearance website.
To make sure that your NBI Clearance Online Application is successful, at the left side of your screen, look for the “TRANSACTIONS” from the menu.
Click the Transactions link
It will open a new page where you can see your recent NBI Clearance Application. Under the Details column, you can see that there’s the status of your application.
In our case, since we haven’t paid our NBI Clearance Fee, the status is still “PENDING”.
But once we are done with the payment, the status of our NBI Clearance Online Application will change from “PENDING” to “PAID”.
You may refer to the screenshot below for your reference.
Compare the two screenshot above. The status from “PENDING” was changed to “PAID”, right? Have you noticed the changes under “ACTIONS” column? the button changed from “CANCEL” to “DETAILS”.
Well, the “DETAILS” button’s purpose is to show you the details of your NBI Clearance Online application.
If you click the “Details” button, it will open a small pop up window which is the same with the screenshot below.
As you can see, the small window has two (2) buttons. The “Print Application Form” button and “Close”.
Obviously, the close button closes the window while the “Print Application Button” opens a new browser tab or window displaying your NBI Clearance Application Form.
Please note that printing of your NBI Clearance Application form is NOT REQUIRED. You don’t have to do this.
You can just save this in your smart phone as a PDF or you can even just take a screenshot of the upper portion of the NBI Clearance Application Form where the NBI Clearance Reference Number is visible.
You’re almost done with your NBI Clearance Application. The next thing to do is wait for your appointment date and time to process your NBI Clearance.
Important! Bring TWO (2) Valid IDs as a requirements for your application. If you fail to bring at least two valid IDs, your NBI Clearance Application will not be accepted. Also, don’t forget your receipt from your NBI Clearance Fee payment.
Important! You also need to bring your NBI Clearance Reference Number. Print out of your NBI Clearance Application Form is not required as mentioned earlier. The NBI Clearance Reference Number will suffice.
4. NBI Clearance Image Capturing and Biometrics
When you arrive at the NBI Clearance Branch you have chosen, go directly to Image Capturing Section and Biometrics and show your NBI Clearance Application Form OR NBI Clearance Reference Number.
NBI Clearance Personnel will type in your Reference Number in his/her computer to find your NBI Clearance Online Application. Once its application is found and displayed, your photo will be taken as well as your Biometrics (fingerprints).
5. NBI Clearance Issuance
After the Photo Capture and Biometrics, the NBI Clearance Personnel will ask you to review all the information from his/her computer screen.
Make sure to check everything for incorrect personal information and misspellings.
After reviewing your NBI Clearance, you will be asked to proceed to the Printing Section where NBI Clearance are printed and handed over to its respective owners.
If you don’t have NBI Clearance HIT, you will receive your NBI Clearance in just a few minutes.
But if the NBI Clearance Personnel from Photo Capture and Biometrics asked you to return on a specific date, that means you have a HIT. He/She may also mention this to you.
What is an NBI Clearance HIT?
An “NBI CLEARANCE HIT” occurs when a search from NBI’s Database returns a specific result that flags the NBI Clearance Personnel.
Its possible that when the NBI Clearance Personnel searched your name from their database and it shows them that your name have a criminal case or name sake.
This result requires additional steps of verification from NBI Clearance Personnel before they issue you your NBI Clearance.

No, there’s no “RUSH” processing of NBI Clearance. If you don’t have a HIT, you can get your NBI Clearance immediately. But if you have a HIT, you will be asked to come back and claim it. You can’t pay for a special service such as “rush” processing so you can get it immediately.
Can I ask for a refund for the payment of NBI Clearance Fee?
It’s possible. But I didn’t hear any success story that someone was granted a refund by NBI Clearance. The process is very complicated.
But you can still try. The process is you have to go to the NBI Clearance Main Office and go to their Cashier. You can ask the help of the Customer Service there and ask how can you claim your refund.
I have an existing credit card debt which I didn’t pay. Will it reflect on my NBI Clearance?
No, only criminal cases are reflected in the NBI Clearance. Non payment of debt is not considered as criminal case.

After checking your personal information, you may click the “YES” button to finalize your NBI Clearance Online Account Registration.
You will be directed to the main dashboard or main page of your NBI Clearance Online Account. This means that your account registration is successful.
It says that the email I’m using is already taken, what does this mean?
Maybe you already have an account registered? You just forget it.
There’s also a possibility that someone used your email address. Try to use the Forgot Password feature of the website to reset your password. An email will be sent to your email address to reset it.
Can I register a second account with NBI Clearance Online?
Yes. A second account is fine. Just make sure to use a different email address.
I already have an account with NBI Clearance Online but I can’t remember the password. What should I do?
You can use the Forgot Password. Just what I’ve said in the previous question.
If you don’t have an access to your email address, you can just register a second account.
I don’t have a second email address, what should I do?
You can create a new one. I recommend GMAIL. But other email service is fine. There’s no problem with that.
Is the email address really important in the NBI Clearance Online Registration?
Well, sort of. Actually, the website only need your email address as your USER NAME but aside from that there’s no other use.
The NBI Clearance website won’t be sending any emails to you unless you use the Forgot Password feature.
We tried to register an account using a fake email address and it went through. But we don’t want you to use a fake email. Because If you forgot your password, you can reset your password using the “Forgot Password” feature and the website will send a RESET link to reset your account password.
FILL UP THE NBI CLEARANCE APPLICATION FORM.
The next steps discusses the NBI Clearance Online Application Form.
Right after the account registration, all applicants are required to fill up the application form.
Enter your personal information such as:
Name
Address
Birth Date and Birth Place
Citizenship
Educational Attainment
Occupation
Your Parents Name and birth place
Weight
Height
Press the SAVE INFORMATION button bellow.
What if I don’t have a Middle Name?
The website requires middle name to be entered but for some cases, the applicant don’t known his or her Middle Name.
If this happens, you may write “Middle Name Unknown”.
I noticed that I have an incorrect personal information written in my application form. What should I do?
You can still correct this mistake by click the “EDIT INFORMATION” button and it will lead you the application form again to edit your mistake.
Schedule an appointment.
Now your next step would be Scheduling your Appointment for your NBI Clearance Online Processing.
In the right side of your screen, right beside the your Application Form you’ll see “APPLY FOR CLEARANCE” button. Click it to start scheduling your appointment.
A small window will show up asking you what Valid ID you have that you will present when applying for an NBI Clearance.
It will direct you the scheduling system of the website. First thing to do is select the NBI Clearance Branch where you want to appear and process your NBI Clearance.
Select any NBI branch that you prefer. I advise you to choose a branch that is near and convenient for you.
Remember that this is the place where you’re going to process you NBI Clearance and have your Photo taken as well as biometrics (finger print scan).
Next is the Date and Time. Select your preferred date and time. NBI Clearance Branches are open Monday to Friday, 9AM to 5PM. Though the Office hours differ from every branch.
Another thing, the availability of the NBI Branch also depend on Philippine Holiday and Local Municipality Holiday. This means, NBI Branch are not open during holidays. There are times that the City where the NBI Branch is located held its own holiday such as Manila Day, Quezon City Day and others. When this happens, NBI Branch on that area is close.
So make sure to check the holiday calendar before you set an appointment.
Select the date you want to process your NBI Clearance. Obviously, select the date when you are available.
There are only two option for the Time Slot, AM (morning) and PM (afternoon / after lunch). There’s no specific time.
What time do I exactly come to the NBI Clearance Branch?
It’s up to you. If you chose AM, then go there when the branch opens. I recommend going there early.
If you chose PM, after lunch to closing is the time.
Note that it will also show you how much NBI Clearance application fees. It will cost you P130 for NBI Clearance, P25 for E-Payment Services and additional P15 for convenience fee if you use 7-Eleven as payment method.
Also note that all payment options has different amount of Convenience fees.
Click the 7-Eleven icon to proceed. It will display your NBI Clearance Reference Number. Take note of it or take a photo using your smart phone.
The NBI Clearance Reference Number will be use when paying your NBI Clearance Online Application Fee.
What If I lost the NBI Clearance Online Reference Number?
Don’t worry, you still have a copy of it saved in your NBI Clearance account. Just log in back to your account and go to “TRANSACTIONS” page. You can find it at the left portion of the screen (if you’re using a desktop).
I already made a schedule of my NBI Clearance appointment, can I still reschedule it?
Unfortunately, no. You can’t reschedule it. But if you didn’t pay it yet, you can schedule another appointment on the day you really want and ignore the previous appointment and previously issued NBI Clearance Reference number. As long as you didn’t pay the old or previous appointment you made.
Does the NBI Clearance Reference Number has an expiration?
Yes, the NBI Clearance Reference Number must be paid within 24 hours or it gets expired. You won’t be able to pay it in your chosen payment option.
Also, the cashier from the payment center will not accept your payment because your reference number is expired.
The cashier didn’t accept my NBI Clearance Reference number, what should I do?
Easy, you just need to log in back to your account and repeat Steps 3 to 6. That way, you’ll be able to schedule another appointment with NBI Clearance website.
Can I refund the payment that I made for NBI Clearance Application Fee?
Ideally, there should be a refund. But you have to coordinate with the NBI Clearance Office. Which will be a hassle on your part (believe me).
You can call 09179999421 or 09204129999.
I want to apply for an NBI Clearance for Travel Abroad or any other purpose. I realized that I didn’t select the purpose of my NBI Clearance. Why is that?
Its because all the issued NBI Clearance are “Multi Purpose”. This means that the Multi Purpose NBI Clearance can be accepted to any transaction you use it. Please read, Multi Purpose NBI Clearance.
Pay the NBI Clearance Online Fees
This section gives you an overview on how to pay your NBI Clearance Online Application in 7-Eleven.
But we have written a more detailed tutorial on how to pay your NBI Clearance Online Application Fee in any 7-Eleven.
Anyway, head down to the nearest 7-Elven Branch with a working Cliqq booth.
A Cliqq booth serves as a self service bills payment machine where customers can use to transact their bills payment.
Use the machine correctly to pay your NBI Clearance Application fee.
Once you’re done with the payment, you can now keep your receipt.
If you logged in to your NBI Clearance Online account and head to Transactions page, you’ll see that the status of your application will be “Paid”.
This means that the payment from 7-Eleven was already accepted by the system of NBI Clearance.
I already paid but it says in the website that its still “UNPAID”, what should I do?
Nothing, you can do anything about it actually. But as long as you keep your payment receipt and the NBI Clearance Reference Number, you’re good to go.
You can head down to the NBI Clearance branch on the day of your scheduled appointment. You can totally forget the “unpaid” status of your application from the NBI Clearance website.
I lost the payment receipt, what should I do?
The answer to this is a little bit tricky.
First thing to do is go back to the NBI Clearance Online website and log in to your account. Go to Transaction Page and find the reference number you’ve used when you pay your application fee. Check the status if it change from “Unpaid” to “PAID”.
If it’s already Paid, then you don’t have a problem. Just take note of the reference number or take a screenshot or photo of it. You can just bring this to show the NBI Clearance Personnel when processing your NBI Clearance.
You can just forget the receipt because it is already recognized by the system that you already paid.
If its Unpaid, wait for at least six (6) hours, it should change the status to paid.
Do I need to print the NBI Clearance Application Form?
You don’t have to print the NBI Clearance application form. It’s optional. You have the freedom to print or not to print the said application form.
But as long as you have the NBI Clearance Reference Number, you’re good to go.
I lost my Receipt, NBI Clearance Reference Number and I can’t log in to my NBI Clearance Online Account. What should I do?
Whoa. This is a huge problem. You lost all the those important things? The thing is, the most important item from that is the NBI Clearance Reference Number.
If you don’t have it, you can just retrieve it from your online account but if you can’t open your account. Then you can just use the “FORGOT PASSWORD” feature of the website.
The website will send an email to the registered
Process your NBI Clearance Online Application
The day you schedule your appointment is the day you should go to the NBI Clearance Branch where you set the appointment. Also, keep in mind of the time slot you have scheduled (either AM or PM)
As previously mentioned above, you don’t have to print the application form. As long as you have your NBI Clearance Reference Number.
Make sure to bring two (2) Valid IDs as part of the NBI Clearance Requirements.
Note that guards assigned at the entrance of the NBI Clearance Branch can deny you the entry if you’re not wearing appropriate clothes.
When you arrive at the branch, expect that your photo and biometrics (finger prints) will be taken.
Usually, there’s a queue line on these due to volume of applicants. There’s nothing special with the Photo Capture and Finger Print.
What you need to watch out is the incorrect personal information written in your application form. This is the chance to correct it.
The NBI Clearance Personnel will let you verify for incorrect information in NBI Clearance Online. Check each lines just to be sure.
Releasing of your NBI Clearance.
Once you’re done with Photo Capture and finger prints, you will be asked to proceed the releasing area.
A separate waiting room or area is designated for releasing the NBI Clearance issued for the day.
The release of your NBI Clearance fully depend on your name if you have a HIT or not.
According to our previous article:
“HIT” is the term used by NBI Clearance Outlets if the applicant has a namesake and requires the NBI Clearance to be verified further before released to its owner. There are 104 Million (and counting) breathing individuals in the Philippines. With that size of population, there’s a chance that you have a namesake who already applied for their NBI Clearance.
If you don’t have a hit, they will be release your NBI Clearance in a few minutes.
If you have an NBI Clearance HIT, they will ask you to go home and come back on their assigned date. Its usually eight (8) working days but sometimes, it extends to fifteen (15) working days due to huge volume of applicants.
In short, you have to wait for the pick up date the NBI Clearance assigned before you get your hands on your precious NBI Clearance.
I failed to claim my NBI Clearance, can I still claim it?
It depends. If we’re just talking about 2 to 3 weeks, maybe you can still claim it. But if we’re talking about a month or several months, there’s a possibility that they won’t give it to you since its been there already for so long and have to destroy it.
I won’t be able to claim my NBI Clearance on the specified date, can I ask someone to claim it?
Yes, you can do that. But you should issue an Authorization Letter stating that you authorized your representative to claim your NBI Clearance. You may read more about this in our article (Ask Someone To Claim Your NBI Clearance).
There’s also a chance that when you claim your NBI Clearance after waiting eight (8) working days, the NBI Personnel asks you to go to the NBI Clearance Taft Main Building for Quality Control Interview.
In my own understanding, NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview is a process by which an NBI Personnel reviews or verify the true identity of the NBI Clearance applicant.
This usually happens if you have the following:
You have a pending or ongoing case.
You are under for arrest (outstanding warrant of arrest) and needs to be identified in relation to a crime by the Police Authorities
Or its mostly possible that you have:
You have a Namesake has a pending or ongoing case or
Your Namesake are under for arrest (outstanding warrant of arrest) and needs to be identified in relation to a crime by the Police Authorities
You can read more about the Quality Control Interview here at our article.
NBI Clearance Requirements have been a buzz in our comments section. That’s why we’re writing another tutorial on how to apply NBI Clearance Online and the requirements needed so the public would know what really is the real score about it.
Ideally, in applying any Government issued document is usually requires several valid IDs and other documents proving the identity of the applicant. NBI Clearance is same with the aforementioned Government issued document.
In our country, document such as NBI Clearance is (most of the time) required by different Public and Private Agencies such as Companies who are seeking for Employees. Hence, NBI Clearance is one of the major employment requirement aside from the applicant’s professional resume template.
Having an NBI Clearance is as easy as applying for a Philippine Passport, we’ll dig in to that later on. But to give you an overview of the process, you can check out this updated article on how to apply for an NBI Clearance which discusses the step by step process.
We have divided the NBI Clearance Requirements into two (2) general categories so we can sort everything out and explain it clearly.
Before we proceed, we just want to put emphasis on this topic of requirements for new application and NBI Renewal are the same (Two Valid IDs).
Valid IDs NBI Clearance Requirements
For every Government Document you are applying, valid ID is always a requirement asked to be presented. The request for the presentation of Valid ID’s of the applicant is a security feature added to the process of issuing government documents to avoid personal data/information theft. This means that an individual is only required to get or apply an NBI Clearance for him or herself.
The Valid Identification cards or valid ids listed below are acceptable when applying for an NBI Clearance.
From the list above, the applicant is required to present at least two (2) valid IDs. Although NBI Clearance application requires only one valid ID, I personally recommend to bring two or more valid IDs as a supporting document.
It must also be noted that the valid ID that will be presented must be in good condition and have a clear Photo of the applicant as well as its personal information.
Valid IDs from the list of NBI Clearance requirements above must not be expired. Obviously, an Identification card is not valid as a requirement or proof of identity in any kind of transaction.
Please note that School ID is acceptable for Student applicants only. If you’re using this as valid ID, might as well bring the School Registration as a supporting document. If you’re not a student and you’re using your old School ID or Alumni ID, there’s a possibility that the NBI Clearance Personnel will reject your application.
Photocopies of any Valid IDs are not acceptable. Original copy of the requirements of NBI Clearance Online must be submitted. This also means that when applying for NBI Clearance, photocopies of your valid IDs is not needed so don’t make an effort to photocopy it.
Is police clearance accepted as an NBI Clearance Requirement? Technically, yes. Police clearance can serve as a valid ID.
NSO Birth Certificate or issued by PSA are not acceptable as valid id requirement for NBI Clearance application.
STEP 3. Click the apply for clearance button located at the upper right portion of your screen to start the process of application. A small window will ask you what Valid ID will you bring or present when applying for an NBI Clearance. You may select from the list of valid IDs accepted in applying for an NBI Clearance.
Step 4. When you arrive at the scheduling page, Select the NBI Clearance Branch you are going to process your application. Select your preferred time (either AM or PM) and the date. You can see the Total Amount you’re going to pay at the right side of your screen. Also, you have to select the payment option to pay for your NBI Clearance application. I highly suggest 7-Eleven as its much convenient than the others. Another option is the Bayad Center where various branches are scattered around Metro Manila.
As you can see above, this is the part where you schedule your NBI Online Appointment so make sure to select the date, time and the NBI Branch dependent on your convenience.
Please note that there are additional charges to be paid. If you’re going to pay for your application fee in 7 Eleven, you have to pay for the the NBI Clearance Fee (P130) + System Fee (P25) + 7-Eleven Fee (P15). A total of P170.
Personal Appearance in NBI Clearance Branch
After payment is made, all you have to do to is go back to the NBI Clearance website and check if the status of your application changed. To do this, log in to your account and go to “TRANSACTIONS” section and check if you’re seeing it as “PAID”. Though this step is not that important, you can just ignore the status if it doesn’t changed after your payment. As long as you keep your receipt and your Reference Number, you’re good to go!
I would like to put emphasis on this, you don’t have to print the NBI Clearance Application form. You only need to have your NBI Clearance Reference Number and you can go to your selected branch from your application awhile ago and process your application.
Did I mention that you have to wait for your scheduled date? Yup, wait for your scheduled date before going to the NBI Clearance Branch. Make sure you arrive on your scheduled time slot, which is AM or PM.
When you arrive at the NBI Clearance Branch, expect that your photo and biometrics will be taken. If you’re lucky enough, you will get your NBI Clearance within the day or just waiting for a few minutes. That is if there’s not that much applicant that day or you don’t have a HIT.
If you have a HIT, they will ask you to return after several days to claim it. You can read more about HIT in our previous article down below:
PS. Did you know that you can have your NBI Clearance application delivered at home? Yes! You can try the NBI Clearance Renewal, you can read it here (How to apply NBI Clearance Online Quick Renewal).
How to Apply NBI Clearance is never been easy and convenient! Good thing that half of the application process can be done at the comforts of your homes.
But before we dive in with our tutorial, let’s ask what is an NBI Clearance.
The NBI Clearance is issued by the National Bureau of Investigation. The said document (NBI Clearance) can tell if the person have been criminal cases filed in any courts of the Philippines.
Applying for a clearance from the National Bureau of Immigration (NBI) is a legal document assuring that you have no criminal cases filed against you in the Philippines. As such, an NBI clearance is an important document which is required by different companies when you are employed by them or even starting a business.
The NBI clearance contains your personal information such as your Name, Address, Date and Place of birth as well as the Date of Issuance of the said clearance. The NBI Clearance Online is deemed valid only for one (1) year.
Applying for an NBI clearance or NBI Renewal used to bring headaches and stress to all applicants because it will them them hours of waiting in line. Years ago, NBI who’s in-charge of issuing the clearances implemented changes on how to apply for NBI Clearance Online. An online application system for scheduling an NBI Online Appointments, which makes the whole process a lot more convenient.
We won’t keep you waiting. Let’s go down to business!

Important Tips on How To Apply for NBI Clearance Online
Before we go, we would like to make sure that you know these things.
NBI Online Appointment is a requirement. Walk in applicants are not entertained.
The release of your NBI Clearance will depend if you have HIT. If you have a hit status, you won’t get it within the day. You will be asked to come back after several days or even ask to go to the NBI Clearance Main Branch and undergo a Quality Control Interview.
If you’re just renewing your old NBI Clearance, you might as well consider the NBI Clearance Quick Renewal service offered by the website. You can read it here (https://www.nbiclearance.org/nbi-clearance-quick-renewal/)
Do I need to print my NBI Clearance Online Application Form?
Well, the short and straight to the point answer is NO, you don’t have to print your NBI Clearance Online application when you apply for your NBI Clearance. Printing of the application form is optional. Though it’s not explicitly stated in the website but if you think logically and use a little bit of your common sense, you’ll end up with the same reasons just like ours.
But Why?
If you’re dying to know or read the reasons behind why, then get ready to hear our reasons. Please note that this is based on the several people who have experienced and confirmed that the NBI Clearance Application Form is not needed anymore when you go to the NBI Clearance Branches.
First reason why you don’t need to print the NBI Clearance Online Application Form is because the application form that you filled up in the website of NBI Clearance is saved in the database of the same website where the personnel from the branch can easily access your information using your Reference Number.
The next reason is it was also confirmed by the NBI Clearance Personnel from different branches that printing of the application form is not really necessary as they have the same digital copy of it on their database.
You can also call their hotline and ask the same question and the person on the other line will tell you the same thing.
Another reason why printing of NBI Clearance Application form is not necessary is when you bring a hard copy of you’re NBI Online Clearance and gave it to the person who will assist you with your clearance, He/She will just ignore all the other information except the Reference Number. What he/she will do is just enter the reference number on their computer and voila! Your info will show up in front of his screen. Easy peasy right?
Do you imagine that the NBI Clearance Online Personnel will copy and type all your personal information from the application form? Of course not! That’s the beauty of the implementation of online application.
But I Really Want To Print my NBI Clearance Application Form. What Should I Do?
If you really insist on printing your Application form then all you need to do is to open your NBI Clearance Online account and head down to the TRANSACTIONS page.
The page will display all the Paid and Pending transactions you have. In the third column named “ACTIONS”, you’ll see a DETAILS button. Obviously, you have to click it to show the Application Form.
A small pop up window will show up displaying the Reference Number of your Paid transaction. At the bottom of that window, click the PRINT APPLICATION FORM button.
Another tab from your browser will open and will load your application form. That’s the time you can print or save your application form.
IMPORTANT NOTE! This process of printing the NBI Clearance is only available/applicable IF you already paid your NBI Clearance.
I Can’t Find the Details Button, What Now?!
Don’t panic.
First thing to do is ask yourself if you already paid your NBI Clearance in any of the payment option listed in the website. If Yes, then it’s time to panic (joke!).
If you already paid for your transaction, check the status of your transaction if its still pending after your payment.
You need to wait for an hour or two for your status to be updated so be patient. The details button are only available if you already paid your application.
If the status of your application is PAID already and still no details button is available. Then there’s one trick I can teach you. Sometimes, the screen resolution of your computer is quite low that it can’t display the entire page of the website. Hence, the page is cut off where the Details buttons is located. This is usually encountered if you have an old computer.
A simple remedy is to just zoom in your screen. NBI Clearance Online website don’t easily adopt to small resolution screens. Hence the issue will be encountered when the user have low resolution computer screen. To address the missing details button, adjust your screen by zooming it.
What should I bring if I don’t have my Application form
Since we advised you to not to print your application form, all you need to bring are the following:
Payment Receipt – if you paid your NBI Clearance in 7-Eleven, you can bring your it as a proof of your payment
Your NBI Clearance Online Reference Number
Bring at least two valid IDs such as your Philippine Passport. If you don’t have a Philippine Passport, you can choose other valid IDs accepted in NBI Clearance application as an alternative.
One of the most sought after Valid ID in the Philippines is NBI Clearance. Well, what’s not to like about it? It’s easy to get one, it has few requirements when getting one and its cheaper compared to Philippine Passport.
Due to the high demand of NBI Clearance Online, people start faking it. You’ll see lot of them at the side street of Recto. The place is considered to be the black market of fake documents in the Philippines.
While walking along the street of Recto, just under the LRT railway, you’ll see several displays of their work. From fake diploma, birth certificate, Employment ID and even NBI Clearance which appear to be issued by the legitimate NBI Clearance Online website but (trust me) its not.
No matter how frequent the authorities get to raid the establishment, they just disappear for a while and (sure) will come back the other day. I don’t know how they do it but i bet its already a big industry which established itself that even our Government can’t do anything about it.
The dilemma now starts when you’re on the other side of the fence. What if you’re an employer and the person you’ve hired handed you an NBI Clearance as one of his pre employment requirement? Will you doubt its authenticity or will you just accept it without hesitation? What if you hired a wanted criminal? A thief? or worst, a murderer?
Not to discriminate but you don’t want to have that in your business. It’s risky. Plus, you how you can trust someone with your business who lied from you in the first place?
Forged NBI Clearances are very rampant these days? I have no idea why people are still patronizing it but if (in my opinion) I was given a fake NBI Clearance by one of my employee, I would totally fire them for falsifying Government document. Plus, they betrayed my trust.
I think one reason is people are still availing the fake NBI Clearance is because they have something to hide. Something that their employer don’t want to find out? Another reason is people don’t have the time to go through the entire process. Especially if the person knows that he/she does have a HIT and it will take them ten working days before he get one.
However, forged NBI clearances had been rampant these days. And for a potential applicant to resort to counterfeiting probably has something to hide. Not to mention that forgery is illegal and considered as a ‘Crime Against Public Interest.’
Please bear in mind that forgery is illegal and considered as a crime in the Philippines. You can get imprisoned with that!
So how do we deal with this problem? Easy, we just verify the authenticity of the NBI Clearance Online. But how?
Let’s take a walk and discuss how its done!
How to Verify an NBI Clearance
To verify if an NBI Clearance is authentic and valid, we need the hard copy of the NBI Clearance we’re trying to verify.
Once we arrived at the home page of NBI Clearance Online, at the bottom left of your screen, find the “NBI CLEARANCE ONLINE VERIFICATION”. See image below for reference. Click the button to proceed with the verification!
You have two option on how to verify the authenticity of the NBI Clearance. It’s either you enter manually the NBI ID Number or you scan the QR Code found which is both found in the hard copy of the NBI Clearance.
I prefer manually typing in the NBI ID Number because sometimes the “SCAN QR Code” doesn’t work very well.
After typing in the NBI Clearance ID Number, click the verify button to (finally) see if the NBI Clearance you have is authentic or not.
For the sake of this tutorial, I won’t disclose any personal information. I have edited the image below to protect the privacy of the owner of the NBI ClearanceI’ve verified.
Anyway, if the NBI Clearance is valid or authentic, the same window will show you the image below.
The image above shows you the complete name of the owner of the NBI Clearance and if it’s valid.
If the NBI Clearance is not, it will prompt you saying these messages:
The system cannot find the given NBI ID Number
It is very important to verify the authenticity of the NBI Online Clearance. As the old saying says, “Prevention is better than cure.”. Imagine if someone you’re handing your trust will deceive you? So before making a big decision, have it verified first to save yourself from troubles in the near future.
Help us spread the news and share this post to inform everyone about the verification process. You may leave your question or any comments about NBI Clearance. We’re looking forward hearing from you! Thank you and see you in my next blog tutorial!
Author’s note: This post about NBI Clearance Online Application was updated on January 14, 2020.
NBI Clearance has become an important part of our lives. A few years ago, we had only one way to obtain a copy of the Clearance but everything changes for the better. Our Government, through the National Bureau of Investigation opened the opportunity for its applicants for an NBI Clearance online application which makes the entire process more efficient.
The big problem with the manual processing of NBI Clearance is that it is too slow (a perfect venue for Red Tape). The majority of the applicants is ranting about the long queue lines and it’s driving them crazy!
NBI Clearance Online can be easily done online and skip a few steps of the old manual way. It also eliminates the manual filling out of application forms since it can be done online. No more long queue lines. No more wasted time waiting for your turn. The NBI clearance online application eliminates 3 steps of the process, namely: Data Verification, Payment to the Cashier and Filling out the Application Form!
The only disadvantage or draw back from the new system is it delays you for a day because of the Scheduling Task as to when to visit your selected NBI Clearance Outlet where you process your NBI Clearance online application.
Assuming you don’t have an account in NBI Clearance Online Application Website, on the right side of your screen you’ll see the “REGISTER” section (you may check out NBI Online Registration). Click the check box if you have an old NBI Clearance or not. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will select NO.
Once you checked the “NO” from the check box, the required fields will change. As shown in the image below, you are required to input all the required fields needed to complete the NBI Clearance Online account registration.
Type in your Gender, Civil Status, Birth Date, Complete Name (First Name, Middle Name and Surname), your active/working email address and your assigned password.
Once done, click the “I ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICE” check box. Another pop out window will appear. The message will tell you about the description of the service and privacy. You don’t have to read it, you can just skip reading and click the “I AGREE” button.
After you clicked the button, an important reminder will show up in your screen. The window will show you the details you have previously entered. Make sure to double check it because this is the last chance you will be able to edit it.
I suggest to read it line by line to check if you got it right. If you confirmed what you’ve written is correct, then press the “YES” button to proceed.
Log In to your NBI Clearance Account
Log in to your account by filling up the email address and the assigned password from the previous step. Click the “SIGN IN” link at the right side of your screen.
After the confirmation of the details, it will redirect you to the NBI Clearance Application Dashboard. This will test if you have successfully registered your account. If you’re seeing the same screen as shown in the screenshot below, that means you’ve successfully registered an account with NBI Clearance.
Fill up and Submit your NBI Clearance Application Form
The next thing to do is to complete all the details needed in your NBI Clearance Online Application Form.
This is the place where you need to complete all the required Applicant’s information. Kindly complete all the needed details to proceed with the next step of NBI Clearance Application.
Enter the following details such as your Contact Details, Family Background and other information such as Educational Attainment, Occupation, Religion, Height, Weight, Complexion and your Identifying Marks if applicable.

Congratulations! You just successfully applied for your NBI Clearance! Do you have anything to say to us? Let us know in the comments!
Over the years, the NBI Clearance Online has been one of the most popular Valid Identification to obtain. One of the reason is, the NBI Clearance is government-issued and it is easy to obtain. It is also one of the basic requirements for most employer’s before we get hired, plus its instantly provides a background check that serves as a proof that we don’t have a “stained” criminal record.
This post has been update today, January 14, 2020
All over the Philippines, there are hundreds of thousands of NBI Clearance Online applicants daily. It’s such an embarrassment if you don’t know how to apply for one.
Well, today is the day. We will walk you through the process of NBI Online Registration so that no one will get lost when applying for one.
The key element in applying for an NBI Clearance Online is learning the entire process and what to expect so that when something happens, you won’t be shocked and lost in the dark. We will eliminate the element of surprise to avoid disappointments and irritation that most applicants suffer. So what are we waiting for? Let’s start.
To give you a brief update, NBI is now implementing the NBI Biometric Clearance systems. This means, the new system involves the scanning of the ten fingerprints of the applicant. We can now forget the previous process where we we’re assisted by a NBI Employee having our fingerprints with their messy inks on our fingers then charging us two pesos for the ink tissue with alcohol. The new system boasts a computerized finger print scanner which is really convenient for us.
The old NBI Clearance (the one with inked fingerprints) is not valid anymore for NBI renewal. Though, it can also be used as a reference to your application.
Requirements for applying NBI Clearance
Before going to the nearest NBI Clearance Outlet, make sure to bring all the necessary requirements in applying for your NBI Clearance. NBI requires you to present two (2) valid IDs. The list of valid IDs accepted by NBI Clearance Outlet are:
Some NBI Clearance Outlets requires Community Certificate or Cedula together with the two (2) Valid Identification Cards you present. As of this writing, we still don’t know the bearing of cedula in applying for NBI Clearance. Maybe the Government wants to dupe more bucks from us.
NBI Clearance Fees
The NBI Clearance fee depends on the purpose of application, please be aware of the fees to be collected.
NBI Clearance Purpose of Application

NBI Clearance Outlets
It is convenient that you know where you can get your NBI Clearance. Before heading down to your chosen NBI Clearance Outlets, keep in mind to wear the proper dress code. You can refer to the Guidelines to be observed in applying NBI Clearance or you can refer to the Proper Dress codes in applying for NBI Clearance. The list of NBI Clearance outlets in Metro Manila is enumerated below:
Within Metro Manila

Mandaluyong City Hall – Maysilo Circle, Mandaluyong City
Las Pinas City – Las Pinas City Hall or SM Center Las Pinas (near and infront of Las Pinas City Hall)
We cannot say which NBI Clearance outlet has the least applicants because (1) we can’t monitor the volume of applicants daily per NBI Clearance Outlet and (2) it’s really pure luck if you manage to get your NBI Clearance on your target processing time.
All NBI Processing Centers are open from Mondays to Fridays except Holidays.
NBI Clearance Outlet office hours varies from one to another.
Regional and District Offices, Local Government Units and Ever Gotesco Malls are open from 8:00AM to 5:00PM

Steps in Applying NBI Clearance
Fill out and present the accomplished application form together with two (2) valid ID’s to the Data Check Counter for checking if data are complete and correct. Make sure that you accurately fill out your NBI Clearance Application Form or else it will be returned to you for corrections.This is the part where you wait in line. Several NBI Clearance Outlets encounter long queue lines of applicants in obtaining a blank NBI Clearance Application Form and in the presentation of the filled out Application form to the Data Check Counter. What you need here is to be patient and wait for your turn.
Pay for the corresponding NBI Clearance fee at the Payment Counter. Refer to the NBI Clearance Fee above for the fees related to the purpose of your application. This might sound redundant but you need to fall in line again (after the Data Check Counter). This time, you’ll pay the corresponding NBI Clearance Fee.
The data on the application form will be encoded at the Data Entry or Encoding Counter. A PC monitor is provided for the Applicants to check any encoding error, thus, avoiding repayment on their part and complaint against the encoder. You don’t have to do anything here. The NBI Clearance Personnel will encode every detail that you have disclosed in your application form. Your only responsibility here is to write legibly. You don’t want the NBI Clearance Personnel to get confused with your poor handwriting.
Picture-taking or image capture and scanning of the applicant’s fingerprints (Biometrics) will follow. It is not clearly stated in NBI Clearance Application if having a beard or mustache is allowed. We’re not aware of “No Beard, No Mustache Policy”. But for those people who really don’t mind shaving, then do it. Those who feel not shaving, do whatever you want. Remember that if the NBI Clearance rejects you because of your thick beard or mustache, it’s your fault. But it’s really up to you and we don’t have a business in your personal lives, so feel free to do anything.Finger printing is one easy task to accomplish. You just need to place your ten fingers on the scanner and that’s it.
At the Image and Biometric Counter, name of applicant is automatically searched against the Name Database to check whether one has no or with namesake. This is the part where you need to pray that you don’t have a namesake. Because if you do, further verification will be needed.
NBI Clearance certificate of one who has no namesake will be printed at the Printing Counter and released on the same date of application. Those with namesakes are verified against the Criminal History Database to check whether one has criminal record/s.
Those with namesakes are advised to proceed to the Releasing Counter. The release date is written at the back of the Official Receipt when to claim your NBI Clearance. The applicants with “Hit” Status will return to the NBI Clearance Outlet after Eight (8) working days.
Those found to have criminal records are advised to proceed to the Quality Control for interview. Interviewers will require an applicant to execute an Affidavit of Denial if he is not the offender and Court Clearance/Order if he is the offender.
Guidelines to be observed in applying NBI Clearance
The following guidelines must be observed by any applicants:
Applicants must bring two (2) valid ID. Government Issued ID’s are preferred.
Courtesy lanes are provided for Senior Citizens, Pregnant Women, Nursing Mother and those with Disability (PWD).
There is no more renewal of NBI Clearance anymore. However, the old NBI Clearance (with ink fingerprints) can be attached to your application form for NBI Personnel’s reference.
NBI Clearance can be claimed by any Authorized Person of the Applicant as long as an Authorization Letter is provided.

Aside from local banks and Bayad Centers authorized to collect the payment for NBI Clearance, NBI Clearance Online has authorized 7-Eleven through its Cliqq Kiosk to collect the payment of our NBI Clearance Application.
So if you’re planning to pay your NBI Clearance Online, consider 7-Eleven as your payment option! We have prepared a simple guide on how to pay your NBI Clearance in 7-Eleven through Cliqq Kiosks below!
How to Pay Your NBI Clearance Application in 7-Eleven
First thing to do is locate the nearest 7-Eleven Convenient store. Please note that for some cases, a 7-Eleven Store doesn’t have a Cliqq Kiosks available. What you’re looking for is a 7-Eleven Convenient Store with an available Cliqq Kiosk.
When you have entered the premises of any 7-Eleven convenient store, locate immediately the Cliqq Kiosk. The Cliqq Kiosks enables customers to reload their mobile phones and pay their utility bills. Every Cliqq kiosk is touch screen so anyone can easily operate it without the hassle.
Going back to your tutorial, when it’s your turn to use the kiosk. Tap in the “BILLS PAYMENT” icon to go to the bills payment section.
Once the bills payment section is loaded, you will be presented by various merchants.
Ignore all of them, your primary goal is to find the NBI logo. If you’re not familiar with the logo, you can just look at the top of this website for reference.
After locating the NBI logo, tap it to proceed!
The next step is very important and very critical. The Cliqq kiosk is now asking you to supply the following details:
As for the reference number, you can check your NBI Clearance Reference Number online. Avoid making a mistake because if you entered an incorrect number and you already paid for it, the 7-Eleven cashier won’t be able to refund your payment.
You have to coordinated with the NBI Clearance Branch for refund and I’m sure you don’t want that kind of hassle.
The exact amount should be entered, again check you online application first.
Press the NEXT button once done.
Again, enter you contact number. Press the NEXT button.
The Cliqq kiosk will now show you all the details you’ve entered. Verify everything! This is your last chance to check it before the payment slip is printed out. Press the NEXT button to continue.
If you pressed the Next Button and you noticed that you entered an incorrect Reference Number, contact number or amount, what you need to do is start from the beginning and encode everything again. Don’t worry, you won’t be charged of this.
After pressing the next button, the Cliqq kiosk will now print your NBI Clearance payment slip.
Cliqq Kiosk will print your NBI Clearance payment slip. Get it right away. If you’re having trouble locating it, its right below thr monitor/screen. Some kiosk have the payment slip disburse at the middle portion of the machine. You can also ask the cashier or any 7-Eleven personnel to assist you if you still don’t know where to get it.
Once you have the NBI Clearance payment slip, go to the cashier and pay for it.
How much should I pay for my NBI Clearance in 7-Eleven?
Though it is clearly stated in the NBI Clearance Online website that the application fee is for P130, there are additional charges and fees when you pay it in 7-Eleven. The final amount would be P170.
Note: In my screen shot below, you’ll see that the amount paid is P120. Please ignore it. The correct amount is P170.00. That includes P130 NBI Clearance fee and P40 for Other Fees and Charges.
Frequently Asked Questions.
What if I entered an incorrect NBI Clearance Reference Number?
If you accidentally entered an incorrect NBI Clearance reference number, all you have to do is to repeat the entire process. You have to go back from the start where you encode the Reference number, contact number and the amount. Print the payment slip and pay it in the cashier.
This only applies if you haven’t paid the NBI Clearance Payment slip in 7-Eleven Cashier.
If you have paid it already using an incorrect NBI Clearance Reference number, you have to coordinate with the NBI Online and ask them about the payment you’ve made to an incorrect Reference Number. Ask them to fix your problem since you already paid.
This is the reason why I am asking you to double/triple check what you’re encoding in Cliqq Kiosks, imagine the hassle you will go through if you made a mistake. Also, please note that 7-Eleven Cashier can’t refund your payment instantly. So before you pay it, double/triple check the NBI Clearance reference number in you payment slip!
After payment in 7-Eleven, what’s the next thing to do?
After payment, you need to login to your NBI Clearance Online Account. Go to your “TRANSACTIONS” and check if its already in “PAID” status. Ideally, the Cliqq Kiosks and 7-Eleven processes your payment in real time. That means after several minutes, your NBI Clearance Transaction status from “PENDING” will changed to “PAID”.
But due to the high volume of transaction processed by NBI Clearance online, few NBI Clearance Applicants encounters delay in the update of status. Be patient and wait for it to change. You may leave the NBI Clearance website for a while and open it some other time.
Yes, of course! In case the status of your NBI Clearance didn’t changed after one (1) day of waiting, you have the proof that you already paid it.
You may inquire from the 7-Eleven Branch if your payment transaction was processed. Show them your Cliqq Receipt. If they have confirmed it, the next step you need to do is call the NBI Clearance hotline and ask for their assistance.
Please note that the 7-Eleven receipts are not another requirement when applying your NBI Clearance.
What to do if I lost my 7-Eleven NBI Clearance receipt.
If you don’t encounter any issues with your NBI Clearance Transaction on their website, meaning your application status changed from “PENDING” to “PAID”. You are not required to present it during your visit in the NBI Clearance Branch. But just to be sure, just keep it.
If you lost it, then there’s no problem. The payment receipt from 7-Eleven is not a requirement.
Cliqq Kiosk shows “Not Connected”, what does it mean?
It’s worth mentioning that 7-Eleven accepts payment for NBI Clearance Online NEW application and NBI Renewal. Don’t be confused.
Sometimes, you’ll see the Cliqq Kiosk showing a “Not Connected” message on its screen. This means that the kiosk is unavailable and unable to perform any transaction.
What you need to do is find another 7-Eleven Branch that have its own Cliqq Kiosk.
Good news to the Filipino whose applying for their NBI Clearance right? Payments for NBI Clearance application is really more convenient than ever before.
Cliqq Kiosk brings a new level of convenience to all Applicant in applying for NBI Clearance Online. We just hope that the fees and charges that are added to the original price of NBI Clearance (P115) will be decreased. But for now, we’ll stick with it’s price.
We are also hoping that someday, Cliqq Kiosks in 7-Eleven will also accept the Philippine Passport.
It was really annoying because (1) the NBI Clearance Personnel asked me to go to NBI Clearance Main Office where Quality Control Interview is held. I applied for my NBI Clearance in Las Pinas which I have to travel two hours from home and (2) it delays the releasing of my NBI Clearance.
I’ve been asking myself what the heck is this Quality Control Interview? I have encountered five years of having a HIT status, what’s in it this time?
What is NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview?
In my own understanding, NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview is a process by which an NBI Personnel reviews or verify the true identity of the NBI Clearance applicant.
This results from receiving a HIT Status in Database verification process. The derogatory record can be his or her own criminal case or under his namesake. In short, your name has been tagged as critical and NBI wants to make sure that they’ll be giving out NBI Clearances to “clean” persons.
Why is this Happening?
The disappointment of not having my NBI Online really bugs me while sitting on the cab going to the NBI Main Office. Why did NBI Clearance Main office doing this Quality Control Interview? Then I realize few things that might be a good reason why applicants is suffering this.
Maybe:
You have a pending or ongoing case.
You are under for arrest and needs to be identified in relation to a crime by the Police Authorities
Your Namesake has a pending or ongoing case or
Your namesake are under for arrest and needs to be identified in relation to a crime by the Police Authorities
What to do if asked to attend Quality Control Interview?
It’s really a no brainer this time, if you are asked by the NBI Clearance Personnel to attend the Quality Control Interview then you have to.
If you have a clean conscience and have a clean record and as innocent as a child, then you should go. You don’t have to be afraid, it’s not that you did anything illegal that violates our laws, are you?
Be on time. The NBI Personnel asked me to go there the next day at 9AM. I arrived in the place with a lot of people waiting for their turn. The person I was talking to said that the Quality Control Interviewers starts interviewing at around 8AM.
Wear the proper dress code. I can still see few ignorant applicants that was denied to enter the vicinity of NBI Clearance Office because they are wearing slippers and short. You are going inside a Government Building; therefore, everyone is required to wear proper and decent attire. When I say proper and decent, you don’t have to wear your Barong or your Necktie and Suit.
In case you have a criminal case, and the decision has been made. Bring the original and a photocopy of it. This will really help you to clear your record.
While waiting for my turn, I realized that the Quality control interview is not that scary at all. I’ve seen many smiling people going out of the enclosed office where the interview is being held. I didn’t see anyone being arrested! Maybe because applicants with criminal case don’t bother to come to the scheduled interview because they really know that they will be instantly arrested because of the crime they have done.
The interview lasted for about 5 to 10 minutes. The NBI Clearance Quality Control Interviewer asked simple questions, most of the time answerable by a Yes or a No. I guess she really knows that I’m not the one they been looking for (I mean my namesake).
Some questions asked are:Are you Mr. Juan Dela Cruz?
Are you living in (your present address)?
How long have you been living in your (present address)?
Have you been to Palawan? It was the place where my namesake committed the crime.
Do you have a criminal case (such as) Rape, Theft, Serious Physical Injury, Attempted Murder, Plunder, Arson or Treason?
Once you easily denied all their allegations,[lol] you are directed to the NBI Clearance Resident Lawyer to take an oath.
The interviewer will give you a piece of paper, an Affidavit of Denial. You just need to fill out the form. You will be then ask to leave the room and fill out the Affidavit of Denial in the waiting area.
In working with the Affidavit of Denial, there are things you need to remember:
It is for FREE! So avoid the oh-so-Filipino-scheme fixers waiting for unsuspecting victims outside offering their services for a fee.
Fill out the necessary fields: the date of your NBI application and your reference number found in the receipt your NBI Clearance Online Payment. The NBI Clearance QC Interviewer will check all the required details you need to fill out.
Once done, wait for the NBI Clearance Personnel to get your Affidavit of Denial. You will then be in queue for taking an oath. Just be patient in waiting.
When it’s your turn, you will be then ask to stand in front of the NBI Clearance Resident Lawyer.
He will ask you to raise your right hand and be ready to recite “Panatang Makabayan” lol! He will (again) ask few question which is answerable by Yes or No. Sometimes, he would ask you to say your Complete Name and Address or any Personal Details he might think of. In a few seconds, you’ll notice that it’s already finished.
The oath taking is finished! Hoooray! You’re not done yet.
Wait for your Affidavit of Denial to be notarized. This is also for free and no need to shell out some dough.
After receiving your Affidavit of Denial back, hand it over to the person who interviewed you. He or She will write the time of release of your NBI Clearance. You can now leave the room and proceed to the Printing and Releasing Section of NBI Clearance.
When the scheduled time arrives, you can easily get your NBI Clearance. Head down to the Exit door and leave the entire building of NBI Main Office and GO HOME!
When I was walking down the exit path of NBI Main Office, I decided to share my own experience so that many people can find help on the internet with their questions. Do you have one? I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts on this. I’m sure there are a stories you’ve heard that’s worth sharing? Your experience or a friend’s experience doing the Quality Control Interview when applying for an NBI Clearance Online? I am happy to hear ALL of them! Just leave a message in the comments section.
Application of NBI Clearance in Dubai? Is it possible? I’ve been living here in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) for about ten (10) months already and getting an NBI Clearance here didn’t crossed my mind. I just thought that I won’t be needing NBI Clearance anymore since I’m already employed to a great multinational company here in Dubai. They won’t ask me to provide one, right?
But as unforeseeable events transpired, my family in the Philippines request me to provide them a copy of my NBI Clearance. My first question is this:
How can I get NBI Clearance in Dubai?
Since I’m new here in this place, I didn’t know how to secure this government issued document. If I were in the Philippines, I can easily set an appointment with the NBI Clearance Online website and have my clearance processed. Or, I can go to the Philippine Consulate and start asking questions there but I’m not comfortable wasting one day if I will get an NBI Clearance the same day or went home empty handed.
So what I did was start combing the internet and Dubai Based OFW forums related to getting an NBI Clearance while in Abroad. Luckily, I happen to land in NBI Clearance website and it mentions that every Filipino based in abroad can also apply for an NBI Clearance.
As noted in the website, NBI Clearance can be obtained in their respective Philippine Consulate or Philippine Embassy in every country. Filipinos working or living abroad can easily get their NBI Clearances without the hassle! All they have to do is visit the nearest Philippine Consulate or Philippine Embassy and have their NBI Clearance processed.
Before I start discussing, I need to inform you that applying for an NBI Clearance while you’re in abroad is not a one day process thing. You’ll know the reasons why when you get to read the entire article.
What are the requirements in getting an NBI Clearance in Dubai?
The requirements for the NBI Clearance when you applied in abroad is almost the same with if you applied in the Philippines. In getting an NBI Clearance, you need the following as an NBI Clearance requirement for your application. These are the following:
NBI Form No. 5 and SPA Form
A 2” x 2” photograph with white background. The photo should be taken within three (3) months.

Payment of 340 AED
For NBI Form No. 5, don’t worry about this, you can simply get this NBI Clearance document in Philippine Consulate. Please note that the NBI Form No. 5 is for free, you don’t have to pay anything. Just ask nicely
What are the steps in getting an NBI Clearance?
I’ll discuss each steps so it would be clear to all so you’ll not get lost when you also apply for one.
Before we start, I’d like to inform you that you need to go you need to go to the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai. The complete address is Villa No. 234-851, Beirut Street, Al Qusais 3 – Dubai – United Arab Emirates with telephone numbers +971 4 2207100.
My advice is before going to the Philippine Consulate General, it’s best to call them first if you need an appointment for NBI Clearance Online processing.
1. Once you arrived in Philippine Consulate in Dubai, don’t waste any second. Ask where you can get the NBI Clearance Form No. 5 and people will be glad to help you.
2. Fill up the said document completely. Make sure to avoid any erasures. Though they’re not strict, just make sure that you erase your mistakes cleanly. You must use black ball pen when writing on the forms.
The NBI Clearance Form No. 5 requires every applicant to provide their personal information such as your Name, Birthday, Gender, Present Address and other stuffs. Its very easy, it will only take me 15 minutes to finish the entire form.
After finishing up with the application form, don’t put your thumb mark (finger prints) yet! There’s a separate step for that.
3. Now you’re done filling up the application form, it’s time to put the 2×2 photograph of yours in the space provided in NBI Clearance Form No. 5.
4. Now this part is solely for the purpose of the thumb mark portion of the NBI Clearance application form. You need to ask the assistance or endorsement of the consulate general/Police Agency to have your fingerprints impressed (Rolled Impression) on the assigned spaces in the application form. After you’re done impressing your finger prints, you need to make sure that the person who assisted you have signed his/her name and stated his/her official designation on the space provided in NBI Form No. 5.
Again you need to ask where you need to go to have your finger prints on the form. As for my experience, they asked me to go to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Dubai located just accross Al Mulla Plaza. The said government office of Dubai will handle the finger printing of your NBI Clearance form. Note that there are fees to be paid here for the finger printing. This costs you AED 110.
5. You’re almost done in your journey! The next step is to go back to the Philippine Consulate and pay the necessary fees. You’ll be asked to pay AED 200 for the Special Power of Attorney (SPA) and for NBI clearance.
It’s also advised that you bring two to three photocopies of your Valid Philippine Passport as it is need for your NBI Clearance Application.
6. After your paying all the fees, the Cashier will give you an official receipt. Make sure to keep it. The Official receipt will also tell you the date of release of your NBI Clearance. In my experience, I got my NBI Clearance after seven (7) days. It was delivered to my doorstep.
You have two option, either you send all your papers to the Philippines where your authorized representative will personally process your NBI Clearance in NBI Clearance Main Office ORyou let the Philippine Consulate General Office process it for you.
Please note that the NBI Clearance Application shown below is not used anymore. NBI Clearance already shift its sails to online processing and the manual printed out application form that the applicants used to fill up with their details are no longer used.
If you want to get application form for your NBI Clearance, you won’t find any. All you need to do now is go to the official NBI Clearance Online website where you start your application. For the sake of this tutorial, I will be giving you an overview what to do on applying an NBI Clearance Online.

Enter all the required personal information in the personal information section.
Pick your preferred NBI Clearance Branch, schedule an appointment.
An NBI Clearance Application form is an essential part of the NBI Clearance Application. Every day, there are thousands of applicants lining up to get their NBI Clearance.
The NBI Clearance Application form document is the very first step you need to finish before moving to the other processes such as data check/verification, payment, image capture and so on.
Filling out the NBI Clearance application form deserves your full attention, whether it’s completed on site or online. Many of our fellowmen gets rejected or delayed because of simple mistakes.
To familiarize the applicants with the NBI Clearance Application form, we decided to post the actual image of the Application form that every applicant should accomplish. This guide gives you information to help you fill out your NBI clearance application form correctly.
You don’t have to download the NBI Clearance Application Form (2016), as I’ve mentioned, you can get a copy of this application form in every NBI Clearance Outlets.
Multi Purpose NBI Clearance is live now! Yes, you’ve heard it right. Starting October 2, 2017, National Bureau of Investigation, the Philippine Government Agency in charge of NBI clearance Online are now issuing a Multi Purpose NBI Clearance. That means a multi purpose NBI Clearance can be used for any transactions that is required both local and also in abroad. Just like the old NBI Clearance, the multi purpose NBI Clearance is still valid for one (1) year with a fee of Php115 per copy.
Through an issued memorandum dated September 7, the NBI Director Dante Gierran said that the National Bureau of Investigation has changed the format of its NBI clearance Form to bear the phrase “Issued for whatever legal purpose,” instead of the old version for specific purpose such as local or overseas employment and travel abroad.
This action from National Bureau of Investigation was in response to President Rodrigo Duterte’s call to simplify all the government transactions. Fixing the NBI Clearance Online simplifies everything and addresses the red tape. The new Multi Purpose NBI Clearance aims to provide convenience to all Filipino who’s applying for NBI Clearance.
So starting on Monday, all the various types of NBI clearance being issued for specific purposes for example, a gun license, travel abroad, visa application and for job application will be gone.
“All existing NBI clearance forms shall be utilized and consumed for this purpose using the NBI clearance printing program to be deployed by the ICTD (Information and Communications Technology Division)” Gierran said.
Gierran also instructed all NBI clearance processing centers nationwide until September 18 to post an announcement in “conspicuous places” of their respective offices about the implementation of the multi-purpose clearance.
An example was given by NBI – Information and Communication Technology Division Executive Officer Welerme Haplasca Jr. was an instance wherein an NBI Clearance applicant will apply for a local job and he/she was not hired. Previously, he/she can’t use it anymore but now, through the help of Multi Purpose NBI Clearance he or she can still use it.
It was also stated by Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II that the Multi Purpose NBI Clearance system is the answer to the needs of the people who are facing the growing demands for record-keeping and civilian identification. After the Multi purpose NBI Clearance clears the applicant’s name, he or she can use it for any purpose they want.
Before, the applicants of NBI Clearance have to state the specific purpose of their application. Also the fees varies according for each purpose.
Another change the National Bureau of Investigation has implemented was making the process for “HITs” more convenient and easier. “HIT” is the term used by NBI Clearance if the applicant has a namesake, a pending case or his/her namesake has a pending case which requires the NBI Clearance to be verified further before released to its owner. There are 104 Million (and counting) breathing individuals in the Philippines. With that size of population, there’s a very small chance that you have a namesake who already applied for their NBI Clearance. It was also noted that this change is applicable both local and NBI Clearance in abroad.
If you have a pending case or if your namesake has an existing one, You only have to appear to an NBI Clearance Quality Interview to verify your identity without having to pay additional fees.
According to NBI-Information and Communication Technology Division Deputy Director Atty. Jojo Yap,
“First, we need to know the case. During the interview, it will be determined if indeed it was you. If there is a doubt, you will need to secure clearance from the court, if there is a warrant, to prove that it was not you.”
If you’re wondering how to apply for Multi Purpose NBI Clearance, here’s how:
1. First, Register an account with NBI Clearance website.
There are several Valid IDs in the Philippines available that are accepted in various transaction in validating a person’s identity such as his or her complete name, address, age and most of the time his or her physical appearance.
Having an updated or recent photo in your Valid ID is very important. In that situation, you can easily prove your identity in any situation. For example, If you’re opening a bank account, the bank representative will ask you to provide one. Or even if you are trying to board an airplane, the airport crew will ask you to present a valid ID. It’s the same when getting an NBI Clearance Online.
After you arrive at any NBI Clearance Branch, you are required to present any Valid Identification to show that the reason for which your application is in good faith.

When NBI launched the new NBI Clearance Biometric System, they made sure to eliminate the long queues in NBI Clearance Outlet that results to every applicant’s head ache and irritation.
To resolve this matter, NBI placed several NBI Clearance outlets that can accommodate the large volume of NBI Clearance Applicants especially in Metro Manila.
Presently, NBI Clearance outlets have 63 fully operational Clearance Centers nationwide. There are sixteen (16) Regional NBI Clearance and twenty-two (22) from District offices.
While eleven (11) of them are located at Local Government Units and the rest of them are located at some selected malls such as Robinsons Malls, Ever Gotesco and Duty Free Philippines.
The Regional NBI Clearance and District Offices are accepting applicants from 8:00AM to 5:00PM. While NBI Clearance located at Duty Philippines opens at 8:00AM to 5:00PM.
Duty Free Philippines only accepts NBI Application for Travel Abroad purposes only. Lastly, Robinsons Malls starts their NBI Clearance processing at 10:00AM to 7:00PM.
All of the mentioned NBI Clearance Location is open Monday to Friday, except Holidays.
Due to large volume of applicants, NBI Clearance Outlets allow Applicants to stay outside the venue and wait in the queue line as early as the opening time. This happens especially in the Malls.
So readers, did we miss anything? Do you know any NBI Clearance Outlet that is not on our the list? We need you. Tell us about it (to improve this blog), leave it right down in the comment section! Thank you!
It’s supposed to be easy and should be a one day job. It should be a get-in-get-off-and-get-out kind of thing, right? You were half smiling when you approached the Releasing window when suddenly, the woman from the other side of the counter deliberately stamp a date on the back of the receipt and hand it back to you.
You looked at it and it says “HIT” then a Date of Release is written which is on the next eight (8) working days.
What the hell just happened?
Well… My precious little young one, you’ve just been HIT or also known NBI Clearance HIT!
What’s the deal with this NBI Clearance HIT?
“HIT” is the term used by NBI Clearance Outlets if the applicant has a namesake and requires the NBI Clearance to be verified further before released to its owner. There are 104 Million (and counting) breathing individuals in the Philippines. With that size of population, there’s a very small chance that you have a namesake who already applied for their NBI Clearance.
Once an NBI Clearance HIT status appears, NBI Personnel needs to perform further verification on the applicant’s identity. Applicants are instructed to return after eight (8) to ten (10) working days to claim their NBI Clearance Online Application.
What to do when you were HIT?
So what should I do after receiving a HIT? Nothing! As long as you don’t have a criminal record, you don’t have to worry about it. All you need to do is just need to wait at the comforts of your home and go on with your life. Wait for the date of release of your NBI Clearance, come back to the branch where you applied and claim it or ask someone (authorized representative) to pick your NBI Clearance for you. You just need to be patient.
You might be aware of several horror stories about having a namesake with criminal records, right? This is the time when the NBI Personnel do a further investigation about you.
The time has come (After Several Days of Waiting!)
When the assigned date of release of your NBI Clearance arrives, come early as possible. Claiming your NBI Clearance should be a quick business for you since they already did what they want to do. The thing that can make you stay much longer and delays you to get your NBI Clearance Online is due to:
Long queue lines because of high volume of NBI Clearance applicants and the people who also want to claim their NBI Clearance scheduled on the same day as yours.
We advise you to bring at least two (2) Government Issued Identification Cards and especially your NBI Clearance Receipt. The valid IDs will prove your identity whenever they require you to undergo an on the spot NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview.
In my own understanding, the NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview is a process by which an NBI Clearance Personnel reviews or verify the true identity of the NBI Clearance applicant. This happens everytime an applicant with a namesake have a pending case or arrest warrant.
This results from receiving an NBI Clearance HIT Status in Database verification process. The derogatory record can be his or her own criminal case or under his namesake. In short, your name has been tagged as critical and NBI wants to make sure that they’ll be giving out NBI Clearances to “clean” persons.
Why is this Happening?
The disappointment of not having my NBI Clearance really bugs me while sitting on the cab going to the NBI Main Office. Why did NBI Clearance Main office doing this Quality Control Interview? Then I realize few things that might be a good reason why applicants is suffering this.
Maybe:
You have a pending or ongoing case.
You are under for arrest and needs to be identified in relation to a crime by the Police Authorities
Your Namesake has a pending or ongoing case or
Your namesake are under for arrest and needs to be identified in relation to a crime by the Police Authorities
When you are applying for an NBI Clearance, wearing casual attire is usually appropriate. Please keep in mind that it is always important to be tidy and well-groomed during the application of your
Unfortunately, the clothes you wear everyday to the mall, or out with your friends, usually aren’t suitable inside the NBI Clearance outlets. There is certain (unwritten) policy.
Frankly, if there’s any, I haven’t seen the Official Policy Statement concerning the dress code inside the NBI Clearance centers. Any wise man can argue with me that since there is no written policy about this, you can deliberately wear anything. What we’re trying to follow here is the “general rule” when making any transactions with Government Establishments.
To show you what outfits that should be avoided when applying in NBI Clearance, here are examples of what not to wear on a job interview.
You know what, we’re getting alot of comments about the NBI Clearance HIT. It’s making every NBI Clearance applicant’s life harder. Anyway, if you’re interested on how to apply for Philippine Passport, you may choose to read the tutorial here.
Best of luck with your NBI Clearance application! If you’ve got a great NBI Clearance HIT experience or valuable tips to add (or a question to ask), just leave a comment below.
NBI Clearance Authorization Letter – One reason why you can’t claim your NBI Clearance on the same day you applied is because you’ve just been tagged as “HIT”. There are a lot of reasons why you got that status but we’re not going to discuss that today.
Unfortunately, you will go home empty handed and wait for at least eight (8) working days before your NBI Clearance Online is released.
If you are a busy Employee, leaving your job for a day just to claim your NBI Clearance is not a wise thing to do.
If you happen to know someone who’s willing to claim your NBI Clearance on your behalf, why not do it? It will save you time. Plus, you don’t have to file for a vacation leave just to claim your NBI Clearance. Claiming another person’s NBI Clearance is simple. NBI Clearance Outlets allows another person to claim an NBI Clearance that he doesn’t own provided that he presents an NBI Clearance Authorization Letter.
Authorization letter is a dated and signed letter, granting authority to another person to perform a certain task or transaction. Authorization letter is usually used for business purposes.
Authorization letters plays an important role in claiming another person’s NBI Clearance. It is a valuable requirement presented before the NBI Clearance Outlet releases the NBI Clearance to another party who doesn’t own it.
In writing an NBI Clearance Authorization Letter for Claiming NBI Clearance, it must be polite and written in a positive tone. Make sure to state clearly the purpose of the letter and the important details such as:
Your Name.
Name of the Authorized Person.
The Date.
Some Personal Details about yourself and the authorized person (such as Age, Address and Contact Numbers).
Signatures (You and the Authorized Person).
There is no standard template for NBI Clearance Authorization Letter. It can be handwritten, typewritten or Computer printed text. But for the sake of formality and professionalism, we encourage that the NBI Clearance Authorization Letter should be computer printed.
Authorized Person must bring his own one (1) valid ID. Two IDs would be great. Government Issued ID’s are preferred.
Proceed directly to the releasing window and present the signed Authorization Letter, your Valid ID and the Authorized Person’s ID.
The NBI Clearance Releasing Personnel will release your NBI Clearance if no problems encountered relating to identity.
Please bear in mind that NBI Clearance Outlets are still cautious in handing out NBI Clearances to avoid future dilemmas and complaints. Therefore, make sure to submit the proper requirements.
Are you thinking about using Authorization Letter in claiming your NBI Clearance? Do you know someone who already did this? Did he succeed? Let others know your experience by telling us in the comment section.

Appropriate Clothing for Males:

Pants are allowed
A pair of closed shoes is highly encouraged whether it is a rubber or leather shoes
Appropriate Clothing for Females:
Sleeved top or blouses
Blouse with sweater
Turtleneck tops
Shirt dress worn with pants
Tailored dress
Short dresses (should not be shorter than 1 inch above the knee)
Skirts of appropriate length (should not be shorter than 1 inch above the knee)
Note: When wearing skirt above the knee, hosiery is recommended. Color of hosiery should be office appropriate: Black, Gray, Brown, Nude.
I advice males and females not to wear the following when applying an NBI Clearance:
Tank tops
Shorts / Mini Shorts
Flip flops/slippers
Revealing, figure-hugging, torn and ragged bottoms
Ragged and unclean footwear
If you’re having trouble deciding what to wear, you can easily get a nice pair of jeans, a dress shirt/blouse and look awesome. You don’t have to go in dressed like a CEO, but you can arrive in business or smart casual.

Good news!
What you just read above? It’s no longer applicable to NBI Clearance! Wait what? Yup, the fees above are not applicable anymore because our Government have changed it to Multi Purpose NBI Online Clearance. Through the memorandum issued dated September 7, 2017, NBI Director Dante Gierran mentioned that the NBI Agency has changed its format of its NBI Clearance to display the phrase “Issued for whatever legal purpose”. This means that that there is only one purpose. Whatever purpose you need the NBI Clearance, it will be accepted because its already Multi Purpose NBI Clearance.
The Local Employment, Travel abroad, Change of Gender, Correction of Birthdate in you Birth certificate are gone. This mean that one NBI Clearance is needed for all. You only need to do the NBI Online Registration and that’s it!

Just a few reminders…
Before you head down to the NBI Clearance branches, make sure bring the following application requirements which is two valid ID. If you don’t know it yet, here’s a list of Valid IDs you can bring.
Please bear in mind to make sure to wear something appropriate. Some NBI Clearance Branch are very strict with what you wear. Unfortunately, the clothes we wear everyday when we go to out are not allowed within the NBI Clearance outlets. Please note that there are certain (unwritten) policy within the premises.
To be honest, i haven’t seen or read any official statement or policy about the dress code. But I’ve heard that there are cases that the applicant was denied of entry because they are wearing shorts. So just to be sure, it’s better to play it safe than be denied of entry and waste a day because you had to go back home and change what you wear.
To let you know what are the appropriate clothing, here are the list of recommended clothes for men and women.
Appropriate Clothing for Males:
T-Shirts
Polo shirts
Pants
A pair of closed shoes is highly recommended whether it is a rubber or leather shoes.
Appropriate Clothing for Females:
Sleeved top or blouses
Blouse with sweater
Turtleneck tops
Shirt dress worn with pants
Tailored dress
Short dresses (should not be shorter than 1 inch above the knee)
Skirts of appropriate length (should not be shorter than 1 inch above the knee)
Note: When wearing skirt above the knee, hosiery is recommended. Color of hosiery should be office appropriate: Black, Gray, Brown, Nude. Refrain from wearing shorts or tank top for men. They say that it’s not appropriate when dealing with Government agencies when wearing those kinds of clothing (which is true, by the way).

I’ve been working for about nine months at Dexter as a software developer. I wrote a blog post about landing the job initially, as well as a technical post about a self positioning component I made in my first couple of months at the company. Getting a job was my initial goal, and keeping it and growing as a developer was the natural next step forward.

If an appointment is needed for NBI Clearance application because we don’t want you to go home empty handed.
To confirm if the specific Consulate office is processing the NBI Clearance Application. We don’t want to be blamed when an applicant went to a Philippine Consulate Office and was sent home because that office don’t process NBI Clearance Application.
Your goal is to get a copy of the NBI Clearance Form No. 5 (also known as the Fingerprint Card No. 5). Once you get your hands to this form, fill it up. The form requires personal information from you that needs to be handwritten on both sides of the application form.
In the case of a married woman, the order in writing the name is as follows:
Maiden Last Name (Father’s surname or Apelyido ng pagkadalaga)
Husband’s Last Name
First name or Given name
Maternal Last Name (Maiden’s Last Name of mother or Middle name or Apelyido ng iyong Ina nung sya’y dalaga pa)
After completing the NBI Clearance form no. 5, proceed to the Philippine Consulate General to have your finger print impression. They might instruct you to proceed to the nearest Police Station or Agency to have your fingerprint impressed on the designated spaces in the form.
If the fingerprint impression is done through the help of the Police Officer/Agency, make sure to have the complete name, signature and official designation of the officer who conducted your fingerprint impression.
Attach the latest 2×2 Photo you you have in the NBI Clearance Application form.
After completing the steps above, you are now ready to submit your NBI Clearance application for consularization.
Processing your NBI Clearance in Canada.
For Consularization, you need to pay them the Consularization Fees. They also accepts Money Order if you’re going to mail them your payment, make sure that the money order is payable to the Philippine Consulate General. You also need to submit the accomplished NBI Clearance Form No. 5, a self addressed return envelop if you prefer to receive your NBI Clearance thru mail. Photocopies of your Philippine Passport (at least 3 copies) and your Permanent Residence Card or work permit whichever is available.
After the Consularization, you will get your NBI Clearance Form No.5 back. If you chose to receive back the documents via mail, it will be sent back to you within three to five working days.
This would be the last step and you have two options to do it. Just like the steps in our previous tutorial (How to apply NBI Clearance in Abroad), the two options are:
You can ask the Philippine Consular to have do it for you. By choosing this option, you need to secure another Money Order or bank draft (negotiable in the Philippines) amounting to P200payable to:
The Director National Bureau of Investigation Taft Avenue, Ermita 1000 Manila, Philippines
While the NBI Clearance form No. 5 must be Addressed to the following:

Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Co. (HSBC) ANZ – A New Zealand Bank Metrobank Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI)
After sending the NBI Application form, it will be sent to the Philippines for process. The ETA of your NBI Clearance from the Philippines to your doorsteps in Canada is around three (3) to five (5) working days.
If you don’t prefer the previous step, you have a choice to send the NBI Clearance Application Form No. 5 from Canada to your authorized representative currently residing in the Philippines. Make sure to gave him/her an Authorization Letter indicating that you are authorizing him/her to transact or process your NBI Clearance.
Your Authorized representative needs to have your NBI Clearance form processed in NBI Main Building located in Taft Ave, Manila. The person you authorized needs to bring your application form in the Electronic Data Processing Division of NBI.

In this tutorial, we’ll be sharing how to change last name in NBI Clearance for Married Women. If you just recently tied the knot and planning to renew all the valid IDs you have using your married name, you might consider to have your NBI Clearance changed first because it’s easier and cheaper compared to changing your name in your Philippine Passport. We have written a detailed tutorial down below on how to do it.
You may leave your question in the comments sections and we’ll get back to you. So without further ado, here it is!
Requirements for NBI Clearance Application
Before setting an NBI Clearance appointment, make sure that you have all the requirements needed before the appointment date that you’re going to set. If you missed the appointment you have scheduled, it will automatically be canceled.
The following are the NBI Online application requirements. You’ll notice that the requirements below are the same with the normal application.
A confirmed appointment with any NBI Clearance Branch – this means that you already have registered your application with NBI Clearance Online website. You can refer to our article about NBI Online Registration
A PAID NBI Clearance application. You may choose any convenient payment option you prefer. For your information, you can now pay your NBI Clearance in 7-Eleven near you.
Additional NBI Clearance requirements for married women who would like to change their Last Name.
A Marriage Certificate in Security Paper (SECPA) issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) or Certified True Copy (CTC) of MC issued by the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) and duly authenticated by PSA
Old NBI Clearance (if available).
Once you have completed all the requirements, scheduled an appointment and paid the NBI Clearance Application in any of the payment options available, you’re good to go!
Change Last Name in NBI Clearance Process
Since our goal here is to change last name in NBI Clearance, the entire process is considered to be a new application. We can’t classify this as a renewal because there will be changes from our old NBI Clearance.
To start the process of application, create a new account in NBI Clearance website. If you’re wondering why you need creating a new one even if you have already an account in NBI Clearance, its because your old account have still carries your old name. Old name, meaning you still have your maiden name in that account and the website doesn’t allow us to modify it. You may use another email address you have to register.
If you don’t have an NBI Clearance account yet, then there’s no problem. You may register using your name bearing the last name of your husband.
Complete all the needed personal information in the “Applicant Information” section.
After successful registration of your new account, schedule your preferred appointment date and time. You may choose from the calendar shown in the website.
The last step would be to pay your NBI Clearance in any of the Payment option shown in the screenshot above. On the list you have Bank Over the counter payment, Online Banking, Mobile Payment, Bayad centers, MultiPay, ECPay and lastly 7-Eleven Payment. Choose what’s more convenient for you.
When the appointment date arrives, make sure to appear in your selected NBI Clearance Branch. Please note that the NBI Clearance processing is strictly implementing the “No Appointment No Entry Policy” for NBI Clearance applicants. All NBI Clearance applicants are advised to register online and have their appointment date set in advance. So if you have no appointment there, then you don’t have a right to be there. Don’t beg the NBI Clearance personnel to accept you without an appointment, they don’t need to hear whatever reasons you have.
It’s a common knowledge that NBI Clearance have to queue applications due to volume. This always happen during biometrics and photo capture steps. Be patient and wait for your turn. There’s usually a queue line so you have to get in line.
IMPORTANT: You may need to inform the NBI Clearance Personnel who will verify all the information that you’ve entered that you’re going to change last name in NBI Clearance. Show them your married certificate as an evidence.
After data verification, photo capture and finger printing, you are now close to the last step which is claiming your NBI Clearance in the printing section. But before you celebrate, the NBI Clearance Personnel will provide you a feedback if you’re going to receive your NBI Clearance the same day. This is due to the HIT status you may encounter. If you’re not lucky, you may end up empty handed and asked to come back on the date they have indicated in your receipt.
But if you’re lucky enough, then they will ask you to head down to the NBI Clearance printing section and claim it!
Overall, it was really quick and easy right?

Here are some (possible) questions you might ask while reading this tutorial.
1. Can I change my NBI Clearance to my married name even if it’s not yet expired? Yes, you can!
2. I have valid IDs under my maiden name. Do I have to change all of them to my married name? Yes but it’s not urgent and optional. But if you’re travelling and you’re going to use your Philippine Passport under your maiden name, then that’s a different story.
3. I just recently got married, do I have to change last name in NBI Clearance to my married name immediately? As I have mentioned above, no. But it’s really your call.
4. What if I don’t have a copy of my Marriage Certificate, is that ok? No, it’s best to bring a copy of NSO issued Marriage Certificate first before you change last name in NBI Clearance.
5. When I was single I have no hit but when I got married, I now got a Hit. What happened? Probably, you have a namesake. Don’t worry, if you didn’t do anything wrong that leads to a criminal case you don’t have a reason to worry.
Hope this tutorial was helpful to you! See you again in our next blog post.
NBI Clearance in abroad? Is it possible? There are cases that while you’re out of the country as an OFW, a need to get an NBI Clearance must be done. There may be alot of reason behind why are you getting an NBI Clearance while you’re not in the Philippines but the most common is due to employment requirement.
Having said that, Filipinos around the world are wondering how the hell can they one if they’re thousand miles away from their home land? Though the idea of NBI Clearance renewal stress everyone here in the Philippines, the NBI Clearance application process while in abroad have the same sentiment of the latter.
Where To Get NBI Clearance in Abroad?
Simple. In every Philippine Embassy or Philippine Consulate General Office placed in every country.
A Philippine Embassy is an area of sovereign territory of the Philippines in another country (ex. USA). The said office serves as a place where the host country can directly speak to the representatives of the Philippines.
While a Philippine Consulate General Office is the representation of the Philippine’s Public Administration in another country. It’s main responsibility is the Filipino citizens living, traveling and working in the host country. The Philippine Consulate General Office functions are the following:
Establish and renew Philippine Passports and other official Government documents such as NBI Clearance.
To report births, deaths, marriages, divorces, adoptions happened in the host country.
To inform its own citizens living abroad about the social security situation
To handle the military formalities and control for its own citizens liable to military service (if applicable).
To help its Filipino citizens in distress or other emergency situations.
To look after its own citizens in detention or arrest and to watch over the rule of law and fair trials.
To establish entry visas to foreign citizens and to inform them about immigration, residence and work permits.
It’s best to contact first the Philippine Consulate General Office if they require an appointment before processing an NBI Clearance. We have heard stories that some requires appointment and the applicant just wasted a day going to the Philippine Consulate General Office without knowing of the appointment requirement and was advised to go back after securing an appointment.
What are the requirements?
The requirements for NBI Clearance in abroad is different from what the local NBI Clearance requires. For everyone’s information, the some Philippine Consulate General Office doesn’t accept NBI Clearance Online applications. They are still doing the old and manual way where finger prints and application form are submitted.
Here’s are the complete list of the requirements when you apply NBI Clearance in Abroad:
Two pieces of your recent 2×2 photograph/id picture, with white background – The Philippine Embassy or Consular Office will ask you to write your name and signature at the back. Just to be sure, ask any NBI Clearance personnel if needed. If yes, just whip out your black ballpen and write what is needed.
A NBI Clearance fingerprint card application form – also known as NBI Form No. 5. It is given to every applicant to fill it out. The application form requires personal information such as your complete name (First, Middle and Last name), Date and Place of birth, names of the parents and others. Just like the Registration form in NBI Clearance online.
As much as possible, make sure to fill it out completely and leave no blank. Instead of leaving an blank (required) information, just write down “N/A” or Not Applicable.
In some cases, finger printing procedure is done with the help of the host country’s Police Department. Please ask in Philippine Consulate if assistance is needed.
A Valid Identification ID (Original & Photocopy) – Most of the time, the Philippine Embassy or Consular Office asks for your valid ID and since you’re an OFW working and currently residing in another country, the best valid id you can present is your Philippine Passport. So before going to apply for your NBI Clearance, make sure to bring your Philippine Passport. Have it photocopy and prepare it for submission. You may also need to present the original Philippine Passport so don’t leave them at home.
It is also recommended that you bring a second valid ID such as your PRC ID, Driver’s License or SSS. Just to make sure they ask for another right?
How much is an NBI Clearance?
NBI Clearance Application Fee, I won’t disclose the exact amount here because the fees for NBI Clearance varies from one country to another. But don’t worry, you can get the exact NBI Clearance Application fees in the Philippine Embassy or Consular Office you’re planning to apply for your NBI Clearance. Most of the time, the related fees for NBI Clearance application are posted in a place where NBI Online applicants can be easily seen by interested and disinterested parties. If you can’t find it, you just need to ask.
Processing your NBI Clearance.
Though you applied for NBI Clearance in abroad, your application will still be processed in the Philippines. The applicant have two option and these are:
Send all your accomplished NBI Clearance Form No.5, your Special Power of Attorney, Authorization Letter, 2×2 Photo to your authorized person currently in Philippines to process your NBI Clearance Main Building located at Taft Avenue, Manila. You’re authorized representative needs to proceed to Mailed Clearance section of the building and submit your requirements plus payment of the NBI Clearance.
You can ask the Philippine Consular Office to do it for you. You just need to secured a Money Order payable to the authorized person of NBI Clearance assigned in the Philippines. You also need to pay for the courier fee for your NBI Clearance application. For more details about this option, you can ask personally the Philippine Consular Office located in the country you are currently located.
If you’re going to ask what’s the fastest option to secured you NBI Clearance, I would say that Option Number 1. The only drawback about this is if you don’t have an authorized person whom you can trust your documents to process your NBI Clearance.
For other reference related to NBI Clearance application specific to a country, you may be interested in reading the other tutorial we have written below:
When was the last time you learned something new? Well today, what you will be learning is not really new at all! But I will not waste your time reading this. This is all about the NBI Clearance Requirements and everything in between.
NBI Clearance requirements are not hard to gather. Some can easily be obtained by just going to your Local Municipality. It’s important to be prepared before going to NBI Clearance Outlets. The more prepared you are, the better your NBI Clearance application experience will be.
Never (ever) apply for an NBI Clearance without these requirements!
Valid IDs
Upon entering the NBI Clearance Outlet, the first step you should do is to secure a copy of the NBI Clearance application form. As a requirement, the NBI Clearance personnel will ask you to present two (2) valid Identification cards as a proof of identity. You can select two of the following Identification cards listed below:
Cash is essential, which means they don’t really care if you have a complete set of your Valid IDs as a requirement. There are fees that you need to pay. Usually, the NBI Clearance Online application fees range from P115 to P415 depending on the NBI Clearance Application Purposes.
There are a lot of people who forgets to bring their own ball pens. Remember that you will be filling out the NBI Clearance Application form. Though it’s not really bad to borrow someone’s pen, but to skip the hassle, bring your own!
Now that you’ve got everything ready, get a good night’s sleep and be sure to observe the proper dress code to be accommodated inside the NBI Clearance building.
Other Information
When you applied for NBI Clearance and you realised that you lack of application requirements and you’re wondering where to get the following Valid IDs listed above, here, let me help you:
The following are my general overview where you can gent
Valid Philippine Passport – you can easily get one in Department of Foreign Affairs. You can set an appointment online through their official website Passport.gov.ph . Select your preferred date and time and also the location where you’re planning to apply for a passport. Its really easy actually!
Voter’s ID – this is usually obtained through the office of Commission of Election. Releasing of Voter’s ID is not that easy. You have to be a registered voter in your municipality where you are residing before they give you one. Another problem with the voter’s ID is you can get registered only on the specified schedule assigned by COMELEC. You can check out the schedule of your local COMELEC office.
Driver’s License – can be obtained through Land Transportation Office. This valid ID is one of the most sought after by many people because (one) its a requirement for driving (obviously) and (two) its also easy to apply for one. Though in the past few months, we’ve heard lot of problems with the issuance of the laminated plastic cards but its all good now. I believe our Government had solved the issues and the LTO offices are now issuing laminated Driver’s License.
SSS ID – issued by the Social Security System. If you are an employed individual and you’re paying the SSS premium monthly then you are entitled to have an SSS ID. The process is easy. All you have to do is go to the nearest SSS Branch and apply for one. All you have to fill up an application form, take you photo and submit it! The best thing about it is that its for free and SSS will mail it to your mailing address.
GSIS UMID – issued by Government Service Insurance System for Government Employees. Not all can apply for this one. This is only applicable to all government employees who’s a member of GSIS.
Postal ID – can be obtained through your local Post Office if you want one. The requirement is NSO Birth Certificate and an application form which you can get in the Postal Office.
TIN ID – issued by Bureau of Internal Revenue. Make sure that you already have your TIN Number before they issue you one.
PRC License – issued by Professional Regulatory Commission after you passed the required board examinations.
School ID – issued by the School if the applicant is still studying.
Philhealth ID – issued by Philhealth.
Alien Certificate of Registration – can be obtained in Bureau of Immigration for Foreign Applicants.
Senior Citizen – go to your Municipal’s Office of the Senior Citizens Affair.
