Online application for NBI Clearance now available

The Department of Justice has announced that applicants for the NBI Clearance can now apply and fill out the complete form online starting on Friday.

According to the DOJ’s press release, NBI Clearance applicants can apply and fill out the complete form at www.doj.gov.ph/nbi or www.nbi.gov.ph beginning on January 24, 2014. After the online registration, applicants may proceed directly to any of the 55 sites nationwide for payment and biometric enrollment for the release of the clearance.

“With the implementation of the new NBI system, we shall continue to roll-out and implement solutions to progressively eliminate queues and simplify processes,” said Secretary of Justice Leila M. de Lima. “online application is the logical next step after the switch.”

  1. form lang ba? edi parang wala din ata. XD

    dito sa tarlac 4am nasa harap na ako ng NBI site nasa pang 150+ na yung bilang ko. aww.


    • May quota daw kasi per day kaya dapat limitahan ang forms na binibgay. WTF! Napapagod ba ang computers nila kaya dapat may quota? Tapos kung may “hit” ka, more than 2 weeks ang hihintayin mo eh simpleng click lang naman yan to check their database.


  2. ang pinipilahan po kc ng maaga ay yung form–

    now kung pwede na online mag fill-up
    pwede na pumunta pagkabukas ng mall

    for sure may appointment kana nyan(tulad ng passport)

    and diretso ka nalng sa payment and biometric


    • matagal ng may NBI form na madodownload online thru http://www.nbi.gov.ph at kahit magdownload ka ng form at ifill-up un sa bahay, kelangan mo pa din pumunta ng madaling araw sa NBI to get a Priority#. Ang pipilahan na nman sa NBI ay ung Priority# at hndi ung form. USELESS din! Appointment? Hndi nila magawa un kasi madaming branches kung saan pwde kumuha ng NBI Clearance unlike sa Passport na sa DFA mo lng tlga makukuha. If we can apply online and NBI can send it to our address then that would be better.


  3. Last year nung kumuha ako ng NBI clearance (first time), online na ko nagfill up ng details, then payment through G-cash. Biometrics and picture taking na lang ung sa satellite office nila which took me 5 minutes lang kahit na hapon ako pumunta. Natigil ba ung sistemang un earlier this year kaya may memo na ganito?


    • Messed-up kasi ang NBI tech dept. Nag-expire siguro contract nila sa private data server provider pero di naghanap ng kapalit in advance ang mga damuho. Sa bagong memo, DOJ na ang hahawak ng NBI system. Baka kumikick-back sa bidding ang NBI kaya pati public service e napabayaan.


    • @archie

      Tamang hinala ka lng sir. All proceeds from the NBI clearance goes straight to the National Treasury. Kaya ganyan po ang sistema kasi limited budget and personnel.

      Tama naman na DOJ na ang humawak sa clearance kasi ang dapat na gawin nila ay tumutok sa investigation hindi sa mga clearance na yan.


  4. nakakuha na ako ng NBI kahapon,un lang nagkamali ako,kukuha kasi ako ng passport,nailagay ko lang local,pero di naman ako magwowork sa abroad,upunta lang ako ng hongkong,kailangan ko pa ba ipabago ung NBI ko?tthank you.


    • hindi na, kahit local lang yang NBI mo. ang mahalaga sa passport application, NSO copy ng birth certificate at mga valid IDs.


  5. Most employee kasi sa NBI eh matatanda na kaya they can’t be bothered with technology or anything technology related. You can say the same with all government offices.


  6. Good pm po kokoha po ako ng nbi para po sa pag apply ko ng open visa dito sa canada. ano po gagawin ko? sabi koha po ako ng nbi form diyan. or sa vancouver consolate ako kkoha ng form?


  7. panu yan!!,, ako kailangan ko na nang NBI.. di na gaya nang dati na isang araw lang nag pag kuha,, ngayon aabutin ng buwan2.. ano bayan.. panu pag kailangan mo na talaga ang NBI kasi may requirements yun pag na tanggap ka nang trabho,, anu,..pahihintayin mo yong employer kung kailan ka mkakapasa ng NBI. sana nman po ayosin nyo na ang mga system nyo dito sa cebu.. maawa po kayo sa mga taong nangangailangan ng NBI para sa trabho…


  8. Search for e-clearance.

    Wala pa akong 5-minutes na pumila sa NBI Taft. Tapus 9am pa ako pumunta dun.

    Mas matagal pa ang taxi ko papunta.


  9. All they are offering is you can download a form to fill-up, but you will still need to line up to process?? Dapat we should be able to do ALL ONLINE such as -> Fill-up form, apply, pay and make arrangements for clearance to be delivered to you similar to services offered by the NSO!


  10. Everyday, dumadaan ako sa Robinson’s Cainta and you will see people lining up as early as 8PM. Ito ba ang tinatawag nilang “modernization”? EPIC FAIL!


  11. hmm tingen ko okay nman yung online application, kasi ang nagpapatagal eh, tingen ko yun mano mano nila ulit iinput sa nagiisa nilang computer sa satellite un information nun applicant.


  12. tapos na akong mag print nang form ko. tapos pagnakapunta na ako sa NBI para magbayad at biometric, eh alam ko poh na hit ako.,kailangan ko pang mag.antay nang ilang araw tsaka ko pa makuha? hindi ba automatic na yon?


  13. Money making scheme naman kasi itong NBI clearance. Di ba dapat ang mga company na ang gumagawa or nagrerequest ng background investigation?


  14. di pa gumagana lahat sa probinsya. pasikat lang doj


  15. useless din ang online yan , ung nagyari sakin now ng sign up nga ako online pero my number parin asar!!!

  20. he National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has recently launched a website where applicants can apply for their clearances both for new applicants and renewals.

    One simply has to head over to the NBI Application Form’s website and fill up the respective fields. The website then provides the user with a Registration Code and a QR code. The user has the option of also printing out the application form with the encoded data. I was pretty impressed at this point.

    The second part of the process is to head to the NBI Clearance Center. In this case I headed to the NBI in Robinsons Metro east. Upon arriving at the NBI Regional Office and witnessing the infamous long lines and chaos, I was dismayed to find out that Online Applicants were scheduled to appear on a particular day for their clearances by filling up a paper with their respective name and registration code. Haven’t we graduated from this already? Aren’t we supposing to be heading towards a paperless system?

    Furthermore, the individual who was manning the Online Applicant Schedule forms mentioned that we, online applicants, would still need to line up with the rest of those who didn’t fill up the online forms. What’s the use of having an online application system, then? At this point, I was disgusted and frustrated at how pathetic and ineffective the system is. I walked out.

    Let’s get rational here. The NBI was given a budget to implement an effective online application system in order to reduce the usual disorganization and mayhem caused at the NBI Clearance Centers when acquiring the blessed NBI Clearance Forms.

    Here’s how the current system could be improved upon:

    Firstly, a separate line for those who filled up the Online Application Forms should be established. It’s pointless in lining up with the rest.

    Secondly, the NBI should accept payments online may it be via Credit Card Payments, Bank Transfer or the usual over the counter transactions at the NBI Clearance Centers. Come on, we’re living in the 21st century already!

    Thirdly, an express lane for Online Applicants who have completed the form and paid online can be formed in which their thumb marks and picture can be taken. Once that has been accomplished, the clearance can then be printed out or mailed to a respective address.


  21. In General Santos City, processing of NBI clearance is now 1 month! Before, it was just 3 hours! And they do not care whether you applied online or on-site; it doesn’t matter to them at all; you all have to wait for 1 month to pay for the clearance and subsequently get it!


  22. kailan ko po ba makuha ang nbi clearance ko.


  23. ano po ba ang kailangan gawin upang mapadali ang pag proceso ng nbi clearance?


  24. sir ask ko lang code lang kc nakuha ko ngayun then kung pipila ako tom anu poh un advantage nun sa mga nakapila?

  36. my experience here in cebu is tne same as the last. you will still need to be scheduled for the paymnt and biometrics. plus they force people to register online most of these people will have to pay for the internet and for printing the stupid form. online registration overall its not a good experience.
