NBI Clearance Online: Help and Guides

Quick answer

The NBI Clearance online portal at clearance.nbi.gov.ph lets you create an account, book an appointment at an NBI branch, and pay the fee online. You still go to the branch for your photo and fingerprints, unless you qualify for online renewal. The fee is PHP 130 plus a small payment fee in 2026.

Before you start

  • A working email address and mobile number.
  • One or two valid IDs.
  • Your old NBI clearance number, if renewing.
  • Money for the fee and the payment service fee.

Only use clearance.nbi.gov.ph. Fake NBI pages on social media ask for payments to personal accounts.
