 RENEWAL OF NBI CLEARANCE

Applicants who were previously issued NBI Clearance Certificates from 2014 to present may now renew their NBI Clearance Certificate without the need of accomplishing a new NBI Fingerprint Card, provided that their is no change in the applicant’s personal information as indicated in his/her latest NBI Clearance Certificate.

On the other hand, for Clearance Certificates issued prior to 2014, the application will be treated as new, hence, will follow the requirements and procedure of application for New/First Time Applicants.

How do I apply for the renewal of my NBI Clearance if there is no change in my personal information?

  • Submit to the NBI your latest Clearance Certificate (issued from 2014 onwards) together with the amount of Php 200.00, a 2×2 photograph with white background (taken within the last 3 months prior to the application), and a photocopy of your valid passport data page.
  • If above documents will be submitted by a representative, a Letter of Authorization is also required.

If I have a NBI Clearance Certificate that was issued after 2014 but there is a change in my Surname, can I just mail my latest NBI Clearance Certificate and supporting documents directly to NBI?

No. If there is a change in the personal information of the applicant, he/she should follow the requirements and procedure for New/First-Time applicants and submit also his/her latest NBI Clearance Certificate and supporting documents (Birth Certificate or Marriage Certificate) as proof of the changes to be applied.
