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 Photo Taken, its very easy. Just look at the camera!
Finger printing or biometrics – the NBI Clearance Personnel will be assist you on doing this.
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!
Verify and Check your personal information for possible errors. Make sure you do this because it will be permanent on your printed NBI Clearance.
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.

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 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.

7-Eleven
You can choose whatever payment option you like. We only chose 7-Eleven because its more convenient for us since we have a nearby 7-Eleven in our location.
Once the NBI Clearance Fee is paid, you can now proceed with the next and final step which is the NBI Clearance Application Processing.
But before we proceed, we have the option to check the status of our application in the NBI Website.
To do this, go to the “TRANSACTIONS” and find your NBI Clearance Reference Number.
As you can see, the status is already “PAID” and you can see a button that says “DETAILS”. If you click it, you have the option to Print your NBI Clearance Online Application Form.

You can even take a screenshot or take a photo of your Reference number and show it to them!
Now, let’s go to the final step!
NBI Clearance Application Processing
The NBI Clearance Application Processing will be the last and final step of the entire process of application.
This requires you (the applicant) to go to your selected NBI Clearance Branch during your scheduled date and time (AM or PM).
Here are the events that you will expect to take place when you arrive in you appointed schedule in NBI Clearance Branch.
Once you arrived at the NBI Clearance Center, present your Two Valid IDs.
Proceed to the Biometric and Image Capture Area and present your Reference Number.
Have you Photo and fingerprints as well as your signature taken by the NBI Clearance Personnel.
The Personnel will show all your information from his computer screen. The purpose of this is to double check the information that you have written in online NBI Clearance application for possible errors. By now you are confident that you have written the correct information right? If you found an error, you can simply ask to change it.

If the personnel will ask you to proceed to the Printing Area, then you’re in luck! You don’t have a hit and you will get your NBI Clearance printed in just a few minutes.
If the personnel will ask you to return some other day, this means that you have an NBI Clearance HIT. This means, further verification is needed before they release your NBI Clearance.
