NBI suspends clearance processing in Manila office this week

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is suspending its clearance processing this week at its headquarters in Manila to give way to the disinfection of its facilities.

“For the information of our dear clearance applicants, we will be suspending the clearance operation at the NBI Clearance Center to give way for the disinfection of the area from July 22 to 24, 2020 (Wednesday to Friday),” read the NBI notice.

“We will resume operation on July 27, 2020 (Monday),” it added.

The NBI advised those who are scheduled this week for their clearance applications to “proceed to the nearest satellite office instead.”

The NBI suspended the processing of clearances last March 18 following the government’s decision to impose quarantine measures.

Its headquarters in Manila resumed the processing clearances last June 1 when Metro Manila was placed under a general community quarantine (GCQ).

The NBI also resumed clearance processing in some areas that were placed under GCQ since April 30.
