NBI Clearance Center, U.N. Avenue (Main) Ermita, Manila
I don't know exactly when this process started but definitely this is the new process now compare to last year and kinda requires you to check their site and register in order you to get clearance. If you are kinda low-tech yet, better ask help from your children, relatives or friends who has at least knowledge how this thing work.
Anyway, you'll be given an assistance how to do it online by NBI Personnel in their online booth.
Step 1. Go to https://www.nbi-clearance.com and sign up.
Take note: You need to have a valid email address for this registration. For those who don't have valid email address yet, go to www.gmail.com or www.yahoomail.com and sign-up.
Just follow the instruction in the website until you get a transaction number. This will be your ticket for the next step, which is payment.
Step 2. Proceed to payment. There are options to choose from in paying your clearance in the website. Just click to the best option that is applicable to you.
Take note: You need to pay additional service fee charges that varies depending on your chosen option from PHP5 to PHP25.
- Banks, over the counter (BDO, BPI and Metrobank + PHP25 service fee)
- Banks, online (BDO Internet Banking, BPI ExpressOnline/Mobile-Fund Transfer, BPI Express Online-Bills Payment, Metrobankdirect, RCBC AccessOne, Unionbank EON, Unionbank Internet Banking and UCPB Connect + PHP25 service fee)
- Mobile payment (via Globe GCash + PHP5 service fee)
- Bayad Center (+ PHP25 service fee)
Take note: Once you have a transaction number, you can also pay them over-the-counter in NBI Cashiers without additional charges. But bare in mind because there's no additional charges, expect a long line.
Step 3. Proceed to encoding. This time, a little bit faster than before (if you applied during their manual transactions, you can relate with me) because they don't have to encode your data one by one. For the new applicants, you only need to smile at the camera, sign and then digital finger printing. If you're not HIT, you may proceed to printing. Hola, you're done! But if otherwise, then you need to go back after 10 days just like my case. Grrrr!
