Online Application

Thousands of Filipinos buy the idea of traditional methods when transacting with government offices. In fact, the community is so used to it that they managed to pull things off despite the difficulties like accepting to fall in line (in a irrational long lines), slow and manual service, the tropical weather of the country, the traffic, and sometimes mistreatment of government employees. The bureau showed a significant improvement on online print solutions of the clearance itself, in fact it can create prints in a few minutes. But in terms of service, the system needs to approach and educate the community how to use the online tool to simplify life in general.
Today, I visited Quezon City Hall to seek NBI renewal (I last applied 2008) not that I like to experience time and again the mentioned old ways. Given the benefit of the doubt, I arrived as early as 8AM to look for NBI satellite office (which from time to time transfers office within the Quezon City Hall) the department could be refer as NPA (No Permanent Address) sometimes in Gate 2, after a year in Gate 1,and so on. Today 2013 NBI satellite office in QC can be found in Gate 5, right at the back of Justice Hall. I melt when I saw the busy lines of applicants under the heat of the sun, just imagined it was just 8AM and people smells like they’ve started working in a construction site earlier. The stall vendors told me some even arrived as early as 3AM! Just to be able to grab the first spot, oh dear that moment I felt like I will collapse if I continue with the line brawl. I decided to go home and search once more and diligently drew my attention to NBI E-Clearance.“

Facts about NBI:

One of the mandated functions of the NBI, is to “act as national clearing house of criminal records and other information for use of all prosecuting and law enforcement entities in the Philippines, of identification records of all persons without criminal convictions. . .”
For a long time, the NBI clearance used the “paper and ink” method in the clearance application. Overtime, it shifted to the new clearance system known as the NBI Biometric Clearance System. It started on July 04, 2011 and continuously expands its operation by opening numerous satellite clearance centers nationwide.
Presently, there 63 opening clearance centers nationwide, 16 of them are from regional and 22 from district offices, 11 are from Local Government Units and the rest are located at Malls, in Robinsons, Ever Gotesco, and at Duty Free Philippines.
One unique feature in facilitating clearance application is by availing the e-clearance (electronic) system. To use this e-clearance facility, particularly the procedures posted, one may search at internet- www.nbi.gov.ph
Since last year, 2011, the NBI clearance has now its own permanent site, the NBI Clearance building located at U.N. Avenue Ermita, Manila. It is within the Bureau’s main office premises at said place. It is open from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm.
NBI E-Clearance
NBI Clearance is one of the most important documents required from each individual and business establishment. NBI clearance served as a proof that an individual has no pending criminal offenses and has no criminal records and is cleared and free from any civil cases and obligations. NBI clearance validates other government-issued IDs and documents pertaining to pre-employment, businesses, travel requirement, visa application, for employment records, in securing DFA passport and other valid government IDs.“

With the Biometric Clearance System (BCS) one can apply for NBI Clearance through Online Application System. To date, the bureau only accepts payment options through:
1. GCash – thru your Gcash account or the GCash payment center (For Gcash members, send the GCash payment to 28829175638053)
2. Pinoy Pera Padala – thru PPP payment outlets
But this is a waste of time and money if you’re not using Globe because you’re pushed to go to Globe Payment Center to pay and get Payment Reference Number. After getting the PRN, you need to find a computer connected online to enter it and other information just to receive proof of application.
After paying thru the facilities mentioned above, you may already validate your reference no. in the online application.
Only payments with the P25 convenience fee (P140.00, P190.00, P440.00) are accepted. This is the standard price of the e-clearance.
Such payments may be used for validation for anyone. Each purpose has a designated price.

NOTE: payments in excess or shortage will NOT be accepted and are considered void and forfeited.
