Claiming your NBI Clearance (Semi-online).

On my previous post I shared you the steps and instructions on how to claim your NSO birth certificate via phone. Today’s still a part of my passport application; I will share my own experience on getting NBI Clearance Online.

This was the second time that the government impresses me how things got improved from five years ago – when I still have to fall in a long line at SM megamall to renew my clearance. Today, though the online processing is already up and running, a lot are still unaware of this basing on the number of people who still suffer the long line in the NBI Centers; reason why I am sharing this.

Now here are the few steps to follow for a more comfortable way of claiming your NBI Clearance.

UPDATE: I would like to add that while booking an appointment (the process that need location code) per experience is not really neccesarry as long as you have your printed email confirmation,  I am not sure yet if this process can be done in provinces or any other center which are not mentioned on their list of booking code HERE:

STEP 1: Go online (https://nbi-online.com/login) and check the specification of the NBI Clearance that you need as the fees varies per purpose (E.g. travel, work). Also take note of the latest NBI G-cash account number found on the link below. HERE

STEP 2: When you already have the exact cost of the Clearance you need, go to the nearest G-Cash or PPP (Pinoy Pera Padala) outlet to pay the exact amount (E.g. Php140.00 for Travel and work abroad). Please note that the G-Cash or PPP charge service fee which is Php20.00 in our case as we chose G-Cash.

STEP 3: Secure the reference number and register on their homepage with your valid email address.

TIP: (From one of the readers)

 

STEP 4: Open your email and verify the NBI Registration by entering the confirmation code provided in the e-mail message they sent to the e-mail address you provided.

 

STEP 5: Fill up the form – make sure that all the information’s are correct before you submit it.

STEP 6: After submitting the form you will receive a notification via email that include a printable page. You will need to print it and bring it with you when you claim your clearance. The email looks like the one I got below.

STEP 7: Using the instruction found in your notification – send a text message to book an appointment. (We did this to secure an appointment but some didn’t they just went immediately to the nearest NBI Center and proceed to STEP 8.)

STEP 8: Last step is go to the nearest NBI Center, bring with you two valid ID. Proceed to STEP 3 which is the Biometric scan and Picture taking (ha-ha).

STEP 9: Your done just have to wait for the clearance. Waiting time per our experience is less than 5 minutes.

I highly suggest this method to be use by younger generation to help those elders fasten the transaction and lessen their burdens of falling in line, filling up those forms and going through all the possible hustles. :)

Confused? got some questions or think that I forgot a step? Drop a comment and I will get back to you the soonest as I can.
