NBI Clearance Renewal goes online


For many years, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has been a proponent in improving the ease of doing transactions for Filipinos.

From the application of their NBI clearance to online registration, online scheduling of appointments to opening different payment options for citizens, NBI has expanded its online services allowing citizens to also renew and pay their NBI clearance by keeping them safe without leaving their homes.

No more personal appearances, no more longer queues, making its services more convenient and hassle-free for Filipinos by simply accessing the NBI Website at https://clearance.NBI.gov.ph. In addition, it also gives the citizens the option to have their clearances picked-up from the NBI office or they can request for a door-to-door delivery service in 3 to 7 business days in Metro Manila and Luzon and 7 to 10 business days in Visayas and Mindanao.

The announcement and official launching of the NBI Online Clearance Renewal with Delivery Service Nationwide that will make processing efficient and seamless was held on Thursday, June 15, 2021, at the new NBI building in Quezon City.

"Today we are proud to announce the fruits of our efforts with the continuous digitalization of data. Through our new online portal more Filipinos will find it easier to process their applications easier when they renew their NBI clearance online instead of going out face-to-face," said NBI Deputy Director Ferdinand Lavin during the formal presentation and official launch with the media.
