What Is An NBI Clearance?

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Clearance is a government document released to an individual upon request. It certifies that the said individual, at the time of request, is not involved in any ongoing criminal cases in the Philippines.

Unlike a Police Clearance (which is only limited to a particular area), an NBI Clearance covers the entire Philippines. A person’s NBI Clearance is valid for a year upon its request, and should be used before then.

What Is An NBI Clearance Used For?

An NBI Clearance has many uses, but is most often required by potential employers as proof that you aren’t involved in any pending criminal cases. It will also show if you have a criminal record.

Hiring managers will use this information when considering your application. Here are some other examples of where your NBI Clearance is required.

1. Local uses for your NBI Clearance:

• Business Requirement

• Enlistment for the Armed Forces of the Philippines/Philippine National Police

• Adoption

2. International uses for your NBI Clearance:

• Immigration

• Visa Applications

• International Travel

These are just some of the possible applications for an NBI Clearance, and there are many more. Generally, it’s a good idea to always have a valid NBI Clearance on hand, as you’ll often need to take some time off to process requesting for one.

What Are The Requirements For An NBI Clearance?

1. Valid IDs

You’ll need at least two (2) of the following Valid IDs:

• Valid passport

• Voter’s ID

• School ID

• TIN ID

• Philhealth ID

• Authenticated Birth Certificate

• Alien Certificate of Registration

• Senior Citizen ID

• Previous Copy of NBI Clearance

Note that these are the only Valid IDs that will be accepted for your NBI Clearance request. Any other ID not on this list will not be accepted.

Some pointers you need to take note of regarding your valid IDs:

• Your ID should be a government-issued ID or provided for by the school you currently attend. Do not bring a school ID for a school you are not currently enrolled in.

• It should be an original document. Photocopies of your ID will not be accepted.

• Your IDs must be valid and current. Expired IDs will not be accepted.

• It must state your full name.

• It must bear a recent recognizable photograph that clearly matches you.

• It must be in good condition, with clearly legible text and a clearly visible photograph.

2. Application Fee (P130)

As of March 2018, the current application fee for an NBI Clearance is P130. Make sure to bring this amount in cash.

Bring extra money as well in case you need to buy water (stay hydrated!) or snacks while processing your request. You should also bring your own pen.

What Is A HIT?

When claiming your NBI Clearance, you may sometimes hear about someone having a “HIT,” or find out that you yourself have a “HIT.”

A “HIT” is the term used by NBI Clearance Centers if the applicant has the same or similar name with another person who has a pending criminal case. This requires the NBI to verify your identity further before they can release an NBI Clearance to the applicant.

Possible reasons for a “HIT”:

1. You have a pending criminal or administrative case before the court, Ombudsman, Sandigan Bayan, or another administrative or quasi-judicial body.

2. You have the same or similar name with another person who has a pending or ongoing case.

3. You have a previous criminal or administrative case, and the status of this case needs to be further verified by NBI personnel.

4. Your NBI Clearance has been held by request of other government agencies.

All NBI Clearance applicants with a “HIT” are subject to further verification of the applicant’s identity with the Identification and Records Division at NBI Manila.

Applicants are usually told to return after eight (8) to ten (10) working days to claim their NBI Clearance after verification has been completed.

What Is An NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview And What Do I Do?

An NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview is a process held at the NBI Clearance Main Office.

During this interview, NBI personnel will review and verify your identity as an NBI Clearance applicant.

You’ll be asked questions about your identity and your recent whereabouts. These interviews are scheduled for certain applicants who have had a “HIT.”

If you’ve been requested to undergo an NBI Clearance Quality Control Interview, remember the following:

1. Don’t panic. This is a routine interview needed to verify your identity.

2. Be on time.

3. Bring two (2) Valid IDs that are accepted for NBI Clearance. Government-issued IDs are best.

4. Follow appropriate dress code.

5. Bring your NBI Clearance Receipt.

What to Expect During the Interview

While tedious, the interview is free and will not cost you anything, except your time. Below is an overview of what happens during the interview:

1. You’ll be asked certain questions to help verify your identity.

2. After answering these questions, you’ll be given an Affidavit of Denial, which you’ll be required to fill out.

3. After filling out this form, you’ll then take an oath with the NBI Clearance Resident Lawyer.

4. Next, your Affidavit of Denial will be notarized, and you’ll give the Affidavit of Denial to the staff who interviewed you.

5. They will provide you with the new releasing time of your NBI Clearance.

6. Proceed to the Printing and Releasing section to claim your NBI Clearance.

What If I Can’t Claim My NBI Clearance In Person?

Sometimes, your schedule will keep you from being able to claim your NBI Clearance in person, especially if your request came up with a “HIT.”

Luckily, you can have someone else pick it up for you, with the use of an Authorization Letter.

An Authorization Letter is a document you write giving explicit permission to your chosen Authorized Person to claim your NBI Clearance on your behalf.

These are the basic information you should include in your Authorization Letter:

• Your Name

• Name of your Authorized Person

• Date

• Personal details of both you and the authorized person, such as age, address, and contact numbers

• Explicit consent to have said Authorized Person claim your NBI Clearance

• Signatures (You and the Authorized Person)

Things your Authorized Person should remember:

• Observe proper dress code.

• Bring an original valid ID of the person whose NBI Clearance you are picking up.

• As the Authorized Person, they must bring their own one (1) valid ID, or two (2) to be sure. Government-issued IDs are better.

• Proceed directly to the releasing window and present the signed Authorization Letter, your Valid ID, and the Authorized Person’s ID.

If there are no issues in verifying identity, the NBI Clearance Releasing Personnel assigned should release your NBI Clearance to your Authorized Person.

With the new online application and renewal process for NBI Clearance, it’s much easier and less time consuming to get your copy of this important document.

Still, it has strict requirements that have to be followed to the letter. Make sure you’re prepared when you go to process your NBI Clearance, so your experience will be hassle-free.
