An NBI Clearance is a national certificate showing whether you have any criminal record. Kailangan ito para sa trabaho, pag-abroad, at maraming government transactions. The whole process starts online at the only official site, clearance.nbi.gov.ph, then finishes with one branch visit.

⚠️ Use only clearance.nbi.gov.ph. There are many fake "fixer" websites that copy the NBI look, charge extra, and steal your personal information. The real NBI online service is clearance.nbi.gov.ph — nothing else.

Mga hakbang (step by step)

  1. Mag-register ng account sa clearance.nbi.gov.ph. Gamitin ang pangalan at detalye na tugma sa iyong valid ID.
  2. Punan ang application — personal info at ID type. I-double check ang spelling ng pangalan at petsa ng kapanganakan.
  3. Mag-set ng appointment — pumili ng NBI branch, petsa, at oras.
  4. Magbayad ng fee online (GCash, Maya, online banking) o sa 7-Eleven / Bayad Center.
  5. Pumunta sa branch sa araw ng appointment para sa fingerprint at litrato. Dalhin ang original na valid ID.
  6. Kunin ang clearance — kadalasan same-day. Kung may "HIT" (tugma ang pangalan sa ibang record), maaaring pabalikin para sa verification.

Magkano? (fees)

Mga ₱130 ang clearance fee + mga ₱25 na service/e-payment fee = humigit-kumulang ₱155 (2026). Libre ito para sa first-time job seekers sa ilalim ng RA 11261 — dalhin lang ang Barangay Certificate (First-Time Jobseeker).

Maaaring magbago ang bayad at proseso. Laging tingnan ang opisyal na clearance.nbi.gov.ph at nbi.gov.ph para sa pinakabagong impormasyon.
