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.
The newly implemented Multi Purpose NBI Clearance will start to be issued at the price of P115, following a directive from Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II.
“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.
2. Fill up the Application form in the NBI Online Registration website.
3. Set an appointment schedule and pick a branch we’re you will process your NBI Clearance.
4. Get the reference code for your NBI Clearance and pay NBI Clearance Application in 7-Eleven or in any payment option available.
5. Go to your selected NBI Clearance and present your Valid IDs as a requirement for Multi purpose NBI Clearance. You can use your Philippine Passport as a requirement for your Multi Purpose NBI Clearance Application.
6. Have your Photo and Finger print taken.
7. Go to releasing area to get the printed Multi purpose NBI Clearance of yours!

I give up.
Tanong lang po. What if may case ka before tapos na dismissed na. Tapos kapag mag apply kna for new nbi eh makikita po ba sa na issue na nbi sayo na may record/case ka before? Thank you in advance.
possibleng mag reflect ang dati mong case pero kung dismissed naman ito, pwede kang magsubmit ng kahit anong document na nagpapatunay na itoy dismissed na. Sa pagkakaalam ko, aalisin nila yun.

Wala na pong Local/Abroad purpose na NBI Clearance. Lahat po ay multipurpose nbi clearance na at tatanggapin sa kahit anong transaction mo.
hi,
check ko lang po ano po ung nbi multipurpose? pwede na ba ito requirements for local at abroad?
Yes po. Ang NBI Clearance Multipurpose po ay kapalit ng Local at Abroad purpose na NBI clearance. Yan na po ang bago at iniissue ngayon.
From the word multi purpose means po pwede no itong gamitin for local or abroad even for the application/renewal of your firearm registration..
That’s correct!
nagpunta kmi dfa para i pa red ribbon d nila tinanggap ang nbi clearance kc ang purpose daw eh multi purpose , ggmitin ko un sa abroad dpt daw eh for travel abroad,, binasa ko kung ano ang under sa multi purpose ,, at isa sa mga kasama eh kung gagamitin ito as abroad, at hindi alam ng mga taga DFA yong bagay n un????
Six days na after ko pong magbayad for Quick Renewal, wala pa rin po. Gaano po ba kabilis yung quick niyo po?

how many days does clearance will be deliver??
ano po website ngayon ng nbi na makakaregister po?
Hindi po kaya dahil sa dati kong nbi kaya ako nagkaroon ng HIT? Before kasi dala ko lang yung dating NBI for renewal pero nung wala na raw walk-in, nag-apply ako online. Nabago ang NBI number ko at nagkaroon ako ng HIT. Last kong kuha ng NBI clearance ay Nov 2017 and yearly po ako kumukuha ng NBI. So for renewal na naman ako this year.
Hindi po, possible pong may kapangalan po kayo kaya kayo mayroong hit sa NBI Clearance.
Let us see for next year pagrenew ko ulit, this time po wala po akong “HIT”. Salamat po sa reply.
Hello po may multi purpose clearance na po ako tapos kukuha po ako ng passport counted ba yun sabe kasi nila dapat travel abroad po kinuha ko 😟 I’m so worried .
Ang Multi Purpose NBI Clearance ay pwede na po sa kahit ano mang process. Tatanggapin na po ito kahit sa passport.
Ganyan din sakin kukuha ako ng passport .multi purpose din nakalagay

No. Lahat po ng NBI Clearance Online Application is Multipurpose NBI Clearance na. Ibig sabihin po ay kahit saang purpose ay pwede na po itong gamitin. Local man o abroad po ito.
Hi. Paano po kung nakaschedule at nakabayad na ako then hindi po ako makakapunta? Pwede pa po ba ireschedule or hanggang kelan valid yung application ko???
Puntahan mo nalang po sa lalong madaling panahon para iprocess ang iyong NBI Clearance.
