STEPS: How to apply for an NBI clearance online, requirements

In 2012, I released a step by step guide (list of procedures) to apply for an NBI clearance in Manila. Today, I'd like to share a list of steps in order for you to apply for an NBI clearance online. What are
the requirements? What should I do? Ano ba kailangan gawin para makakuha ng NBI clearance online?

1. VISIT NBI SITE

Check out the NBI Clearance Online Application page through the DOJ or NBI websites.

2. FILL OUT NBI APP FORM

Completely fill up the application form online with the necessary information. Choose from the drop-down menu, when provided.

Transaction cost will vary from 115 to 415 PHP. For the Presented ID part, include the type of valid ID and corresponding ID number. 

List of valid ID's for online application are the ff:

• Voter’s ID
• Valid passport
• SSS ID
• GSIS UMID
• Postal ID
• Driver’s License
• PRC License
• TIN ID
• School ID
• Philhealth ID
• Alien Certificate of Registration
• Senior Citizen

Note: The valid ID will be used in Step 4 so make sure you have it with you and don't lose it.

Once finished on clearance registration and Applicant Information fields, click the "Submit" button to continue with the remaining steps.

Then, you'll be required to fill up the Contact Details and Family Background areas. Make sure to review your inputs specially the e-mail address (where a confirmation message will be sent).

Once done, click the "Submit" button once again.

3. PRINT FORM

After the successful online application, print the form bearing your assigned Registration Code. For those who have no printer, write down the Registration Code or save the file as PDF, then print it outside.

4. GET TO THE NBI BRANCH WHERE YOU'RE LOCATED

Proceed to NBI Clearance Center nearest you, present your Registration Code and 2 valid IDs (original with your signature) and pay the corresponding clearance fee.

Ask the guard or any authorized personnel where to fall in line for this transaction.

5. IMAGE CAPTURE, BIOMETRICS

Proceed to the Online Application counter for image capturing and fingerprint biometrics.

6. IDENTITY VERIFICATION FOR DEROGATORY RECORD CHECKING

Hit is a process made by NBI Clearance personnel to verify the identity of the NBI Clearance applicant if he/she has a derogatory record.

• For 'No Hit' applicant, proceed to Releasing Section, for the printing and issuance of your NBI clearance certificate. 
• "With Hit' applicant, you'll be advised to come back on the release date written at the back of your Official Receipt (OR).

When advised to proceed to Quality Control Section for interview, your clearance will be issued upon evaluation and cleared by the QC Interviewer.

Claiming Note:

Claiming depends. When I applied for an NBI clearance in Robinsons Otis, I got it on the same day. Some say, you'll be able to claim it after at least one week.
