NBI Clearance? Get it in 2 easy steps

UPDATED: NBI XI has returned to their old office at J.P. Laurel Ave. Davao City 😊

Hello, Tuesday, my 2nd day of bedrest!

As much as I wanted to sleep in and help my body recover, I had to #adult.

I don’t think anybody finds it pleasurable to keep going back to the NBI to get their NBI Clearance for whatever purpose. Let’s not focus on that, though.

Last year when I took the Real Estate Board Exam, I had to get an NBI Clearance specifically for that purpose. It was pretty straightforward. They’d started implementing the scheduling system so I scheduled it online through their website and paid P140 at a local LBC branch. I then went to the NBI Regional Office at J.P. Laurel Ave., lined up, had my picture and fingerprints taken, and waited for my printout. Overall, that took me around 2 hours. Because of my name, I never get a “HIT”, so that helps.

This time, I didn’t want to spend 2 hours at the NBI, I learned that they’d transferred to Magsaysay Park. I also didn’t expect to be sick on the day of my appointment. I just planned to take the afternoon off work to take care of it.

Anyway, I just followed two easy steps. Mind, I got my NBI Clearance at NBI Davao City, so I can’t say the same for other branches.

All it took me were two easy steps–well, three, if you count the payment.

  1. Go to nbi-clearance.com, create your profile and schedule an appointment. I chose the PM sked.
  2. Pay Php 140 at any Bayad Center outlet. (in my case, I paid at an SM Department Store Bills Payment Counter) List of Bayad Center Branches Here
  3. Proceed to the NBI branch and have your biometrics and photographs taken. I went there at around 4:00 p.m. and there was nobody else there. So I had my biometrics, photographs, and printout completed in around 2 minutes. 😀

NOTE: As of today, July 18, 2017, the NBI Davao is still located at Magsaysay Park. I’ll update this post when they return to their J.P. Laurel office.
