Effective 12 March 2018, the NBI will be charging a fee of ONE HUNDRED THIRTY PESOS (Php 130.00) per clearance certificate from the original ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN PESOS (Php 115.00) to comply with the Documentary Stamp Tax (DST) rate adjustment.This is pursuant to Republic Act No. 10963, otherwise known as the “Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law” and the Revenue. NBI stands for the National Bureau of Investigation. It’s the local counterpart of the United States’ FBI. The purpose of the NBI clearance is to prove you’re a citizen in good standing and that you never messed up with the law. Now, you can have the option to select NBI branch where you want to get your NBI clearance. Look for NBI branch or NBI Clearance Center near you or wherever you prefer to process it. Once the branch is selected, slots per day will appear. You can select your preferred date and time, and click that option.

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.

NBI Clearance Requirements

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.

Valid Philippine Passport
Voter’s ID
Driver’s License
PRC License
SSS ID
GSIS UMID
Postal ID
School ID
TIN ID
Philhealth ID
Alien Cert of Registration
Senior Citizen

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.

NBI Clearance Online Appointment

We already discussed this process on how to apply for NBI Clearance Online Appointment in our previous post but for the sake of other people who don’t want to move from one page to another, we’ll be taking a glimpse of the process.

Step 1. Go to the official website of NBI Clearance Services (https://clearance.nbi.gov.ph/) and register a new account if you don’t have one. If you have an existing account, you may just sign in by typing in your email address and password.

If you don’t have one yet, just fill up the required information needed in the “REGISTER AS NEW ACCOUNT”.

Step 2. For new applicant of NBI Clearance Online Registration, enter all the Personal Information and hit the SAVE button down below once done.

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.

Click on the icons below of the payment option.

Step 5. Pay your NBI Clearance Application fee at your chosen Payment Option. As I’ve mentioned, I prefer paying my NBI Clearance application fee in 7-Eleven because its near me and its convenient.

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:

The personal appearance in NBI Clearance branch completes the entire process on How To Apply NBI Clearance Online in 2019. Whatever the result be, whether you get your NBI Clearance within the day or asked to come back, if you’ve reached this part of the process, I can say that you’re successful in applying for an NBI Clearance by yourself!

(This is an old post re-published.)

(Picture above is not at NBI Davao.)

In my city, the words “NBI Clearance” are often met with dread. This is because the office always manages to be full every day, with people. The lines tend to spill on to the streets, and people begin lining up at 4am just to be first!

I haven’t gone to NBI in, like, almost four years because there wasn’t any need for me to go. But because I will be taking up a board exam this May, I have no choice but to get a clearance.

It’s such a great thing that they have the online option now!

I didn’t think much of it mainly because I was aware that you still have to go to the actual office to claim your clearance. However, when my schoolmate from UP, who is also my classmate in my real estate brokerage class, said that she used the online option and she needed to be at the office for only 5 minutes, I was sold. Since I know most are either not aware of this option or do not how it works, let me take this opportunity to be your guide. Let’s begin!

1. Visit NBI’s website at nbi.gov.ph and click on the button that says “Click here.”

2. Similarly, you can also go straight ahead to clearance.nbi.gov.ph.

A diagram of the process is also outlined above

3. If you don’t have an account yet, simply make an account by filling in the form located at the home page of clearance.nbi.gov.ph.

4. You need to edit your information accurately. I no longer have a screen capture of this step because there are too many pieces of information that need to be blurred out, but I’m sure you will understand how to do it.

5. Next, click on “Apply for Clearance.”

6. You need to specify the purpose of your clearance and follow the steps like filling in the form containing your details.

7. You can also upload your photo if you like. Honestly, I thought this was going to be the photo reflected on the clearance. Silly me, haha, but I just took my chances. But no, you’re still going to have your photo taken at the NBI office. Duh.

8. After completely and accurately filling in your details, apply for a transaction by clicking on the “Transaction” tab at the left side.

9. I wasn’t able to take a screen capture of it, but I recall that all you need to do is set a transaction with an available date (a calendar with the number of empty slots is provided). You also need to specify your chosen NBI branch. Then you also need to specify whether you will come in the morning or in the afternoon.

10. Next, you need to pay for the clearance. There are many options provided. For example, you can pay over-the-counter at banks or, if I’m not mistaken, LBC. There are also online options which I chose, of course. I chose to pay via DragonPay for BPI Express Online (not mobile). Don’t worry; there are detailed instructions provided.

11. Finally, wait for your account to reflect a “PAID” status. In my case, since I paid in the evening, the status only reflected the next morning.

12. Print the form containing your transaction number; this form will be presented at the branch.

13. Go to the NBI branch you specified on the date and time that you specified. Present your form to the information table and he will sign it (etc.). He will also tell you to proceed to Window 5.

14. At Window 5, you will have your fingerprints and photo taken. Afterward, two things may happen. It’s either you will receive your NBI clearance on the same day or, like in my case, you will receive a Hit status.

15. In case you’ve been hit, all you need to do is return to NBI after a week.

16. After a week, I returned to NBI to claim my clearance. I was told to go to Window 1 and was guided to the Releasing area. I sat for around 10 minutes and then I was called. My NBI clearance was ready! That’s it!

That was the entire process. It may seem like a lot because of the number of steps, but really, I think the entire thing didn’t even take up two hours. That includes the making of account, filling in of details, setting the transaction, paying for the clearance, going to the branch, and finally claiming it!
