SSS ID (UMID)

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.

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.

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.

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.
