Select your preferred NBI clearance center that will process your application. There are several Manila and provincial branches as well as PHILPOST offices that you can choose from. Then, select from the available slots the time and date you prefer to process and receive your NBI clearance. You can choose either AM or PM. 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.

Starting April 01, 2015, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) will implement an online system which will eliminate long queues and will shorten the application process. This will be a mandatory process for all applications. As such, you can’t just go to a NBI Branch and get a clearance, it’s required that you register first to their website and set an appointment.

Prior to the online application, you need to endure six tedious steps before getting a clearance. I can still remember, some two years ago, I have experienced this long process which took me a day before finally getting my NBI Clearance.

• Fill-out Form
• Data Check
• Payment (Cashier)
• Encoding (Data Entry)
• Photo & Fingerprint Capture
• Clearance Printing

However with the new online application, you can easily get your NBI Clearance through:

• Data, Photo & Fingerprint Capture

After finishing the above steps, you can now go to the NBI Branch for Data, Photo and Fingerprint Capture process. However before going to the NBI Branch, make sure you have the following:

1. Valid ID’s (at least two)

2. Printed NBI application with Reference Number. (You can only print your NBI application once you have confirmed your payment).

Also, wear something appropriate. You may want to avoid tank tops, shorts, mini skirts and slippers. NBI has a strict dress code so make sure to follow it.

You can now proceed to Data, Photo and Fingerprint Capture. You can instantly get your NBI Clearance if you don’t have any “Hits”. Hits, as I understand it are persons with the same name as yours but with a criminal record. If that’s the case then you have to wait a week before your NBI Clearance can be released.
