What is an NBI Clearance?
An NBI Clearance is an official document issued by the National Bureau of Investigation in the Philippines. It certifies that the holder has no criminal cases filed against them. This document is crucial for various purposes, such as:
- Job applications
- Business registrations
- Working or studying abroad
The clearance includes your name, address, birthdate, and the issuance date. Keep in mind that it’s valid for only 6 months to 1 year, so regular renewal may be required.
Why Use the Online Application System?
In the past, getting an NBI clearance required long lines and hours of waiting. Fortunately, the NBI has introduced an online application and appointment booking system. This innovation saves time and simplifies the process.
