Disclaimer: I am not in any way connected with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). I am just sharing my experience and the process that I went through in getting y clearance. All photos were screen captured from the NBI Clearance website.
I recently applied for an NBI Clearance because I need an additional government issued ID and decided to do it online. It is much easier and more convenient than doing manual application so I thought that I'll share with you the process on how to get it as it could be somewhat confusing for first time applicants.
STEP 1: Create an account at www.nbi-clearance.com by clicking the SIGN UP NOW button.
STEP 2: Choose your application type. If you haven't had your fingerprints taken through their biometric system yet, then you have to choose "NEW" as the application type.
STEP 2: Choose your application type. If you haven't had your fingerprints taken through their biometric system yet, then you have to choose "NEW" as the application type.
STEP 3: Key in the necessary information about yourself. The page will also ask for your email address so be sure that what you'll input is an active one because you will use it to be able to log-in on your account. Once you completely filled out the form, click the box for I ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICE then click the SIGN IN Button.
STEP 4: You will be informed that your registration was completed and be redirected to the website's homepage. Click the SIGN IN option on the upper right hand corner of the homepage and sign in using your email address and the password that you nominated on the registration page.
STEP 5: Fill out the necessary information to complete your profile. There's no need for you to upload a photo since it will be taken once you reported for your scheduled appearance for biometrics. Once you're done, just click the SAVE INFORMATION button.
STEP 6: A notification will pop up on your screen stating that you have successfully completed your profile and by this time, you will have an option to either EDIT INFORMATION or APPLY FOR CLEARANCE. You will see the buttons for this options on the right hand side of your screen.
STEP 7: Click the APPLY FOR CLEARANCE button and a prompt will appear asking you to input the identification card that you'll bring for verification on the day of your schedule appearance. Once you've already key in the type of ID, just click on I AGREE button. A prompt reminding you to take note of your reference number will appear. The reference number will be given to you after you selected the payment option and it will also be your gate pass when you go to an NBI Clearance Center. Just click the CLOSE button as seen on the prompt to go to the next step.
STEP 8: First, you need to choose the NBI Clearance Center from the drop down box where you want to process your NBI Clearance, then select from the available schedule on the calendar. It can either be an AM or PM appointment. For the PURPOSE, choose whether it's for LOCAL or ABROAD then select the PURPOSE DETAIL as well. In this case, I chose Local for the purpose and Local Employment for the purpose detail.
Once these has been selected, you will see the amount that you would need to pay. Please note that using this online service will cost you an additional fee of P25.00 pesos. So if the NBI Clearance for Local Employment is P115.00, you'll have to add P25.00 and pay P140.00 all in all.
STEP 9: Still on the right side panel of the page, you will see your appointment details. Take note of the expiry date because this is the final date where you can process your NBI Clearance on site. If you weren't able to come to your appointment up until the expiry date, your payment will be forfeited.
To complete the transaction, you need to select which payment option is more convenient to you. Just hover your mouse on each button to see the details. Click on the payment option that you've chosen and pay the application fee. There's no need to print the application form and just take note of your reference number.
STEP 10: Go to you scheduled appointment and have your picture and fingerprints taken. If you don't have a "HIT" you'll immediately get your NBI Clearance but if you have, you'll be scheduled to claim it after 3 - 5 business days.
As for me, I was able to finish the whole process after 35 minutes but since I have a "HIT", they scheduled me to claim it after 4 business days. I hope this blog post could help those who are still not familiar with the online process in applying for an NBI clearance.
See you soon! :)
