NBI Clearance Application and Renewal

188 Replies

UPDATE – Jan 15, 2013 Renewed my NBI Clearance last week. 

Went to Park Square in Makati to process my NBI Clearance Renewal yesterday morning.

I was unaware that the NBI Application and Renewal Kiosk in ( Park Square ) Makati has moved to a different location.

On the door was this notice that all NBI clearance applicants may apply instead on the said branches of Robinson’s Mall or in the following City / Municipal halls:

Robinson’s Manila, Robinson’s Otis, Robinson’s Galleria, Robinson’s Metro East, Robinson’s Cainta, Quezon City Hall, Mandaluyong City Hall,  Marilao Municipal Hall Bulacan,  Muntinlupa City Hall,  Las Pinas Hall.

I asked the security guard why the kiosk closed and he said that NBI’s contract has already expired.

I then decided to go to Robinson’s Manila since I am more familiar with that place and I was thinking that there would be lesser applicants there.

One of the guards I asked pointed me to the basement where the NBI kiosk was. Approaching the stairs to the basement, I saw a lot of people piling up. It continued up to the basement and it turned out that they were also there to renew/apply for their NBI Clearance.

I was a bit surprised since the last time it nearly took me 5 minutes to renew my NBI clearance in Park Square.

‘Turned out that what the guard back in Park Square was telling me is that NBI’s contract with its IT provider, the Mega Data Corp has already expired.

I was not updated with the news these past few days and I only came to know about this when I went home and saw it on the tv.

It seemed that the previous IT provider,  Mega Data Corp has not given/turned over its software/databases to NBI and now NBI is starting everything from scratch. Whatta?!

I also saw one of the representatives of  Mega Data Corp in the interview saying that they can not just turn over the databases to the new contractor since it contains a lot of secure information? ???!

I don’t know a lot about these type of contracts but I was also a public servant for almost five years, wouldn’t be the contractor transferring ALL facilities under the BOT contract/scheme?

Anyways, let’s leave it all for the government to fix.

Just a heads-up for all you guys who are also going to renew or apply for their NBI Clearance. You might wanna go to the renewal kiosks earlier. The guard in Robinson’s Manila told me that some of those people were already there as early as 5am  and another guy told me that some, even earlier.

And yeah, did you see those people in the news getting their NBI Clearance at the NBI Main Office in Taft? The line in Robinson’s was nothing compared to that.

Let’s hope that this will all be resolved quickly since we don’t wanna go back and forth to the kiosks for days just to get our clearance.

The line going to the NBI renewal kiosk at Robinson’s Manila basement.

I don’t know if this is standard to all NBI Renewal kiosks. They have allocated a certain number of people (maximum of 150 per batch or 50 per hour) to process. ( Robinson’s Manila NBI kiosk)

  14. mmapu001

    meron bang may alam sa inyo kung anu ung time frame ng nbi clearance for travel abroad may nagsabi kasi sakin na 1 month daw bago makuha is that true??? tnx:”)

  15. Haydee

    pano po ba pumunta sa Rob OTIS from U.N. Avenue Taft? (commute)

    thanks for reply God bless.

  20. Iming

    Ever Recto kiosk mabilis makakuha ng NBI. 8am nagpapasok na sila sa mall going to the cinema for the nbi processing. you can get it immediately pag walang hit name mo… meron nga ako kasabay na girl na medyo disappointed kse nagkaron sya ng hit sa name, samantalang dati daw eh wala naman…

  21. che

    true na super bilis kumuha sa robinsons otis araw ng saturday yun natagalan lang kami sa pila kasi yung guard dun di agad nagpapasok siguro mga around 7am na kami nakaratiing dun pero nasa bandang unahan pa kami…one week lang ang hihintayin kapag may problem sa record mo pag may kapangalan ka na may criminal record yun lang naman kadalasan ang nagiging problem…

  22. Loogy

    kukuha sana ako ng nbi clearance kso by number pala at naubos n nung dumating ako,,ky nag tanong nalang ako s guard kung pano ang procedure kung renewal lang ako..sabi s akin ng guard wala n daw renewal ngayon s nbi puro new application kc back to basic daw ang sistema..totoo po b un?

  24. cerah

    good for u guys! i went to NBI Koronadal City last July 20, 2011 for this NEW NBI Clearance at 8AM and noticed employees inside but not a single employee by the cashier’s window. An employee gave us forms&start fingerprinting at ang pila humaba ng humaba…and were asking where’s the CASHIER…receptionist said she texted cashier and NO Reply. Inabot kami ng 11AM sa kakatayo sa pila…then somebody starts collecting payments and said that the CASHIER just informed them she has a SORE EYES and cant work! WTF!…3 hours kami pumila!!! walanghiya talaga! pinarusahan kami ng ganun….only in KORONADAL CITY NBI po yan.

  43. Gerald

    Guys try ninyo ever gotesco recto, kakakuha ko lang ng NBI clearance. Medyo mahaba ang pila, pero makukuha mo agad ang NBI clearance pag walang problema. May cut off na 500 persons.

  47. Derk

    Hi Gerald just want to ask what time ka pumila duon sa ever gotesco recto? then what time ka natapos? thanks

  48. einnodnozid

    Kagaya mo hindi din ako aware na wala na palang kuhanan ng NBI CLEARANCE sa Victory Mall along Caloocan. WOW! Ang aga pa naman naming pumunta dun then sabi ng guard wala na nga daw kuhanan EVER GOTESCO GRAND CENTRAL. Ang sabi naman ng janitor dun 10am pa daw magbubukas ang mall kahit ang pagkuha ng NBI knowing that was just only 7 in the morning. Then sabi nya sa may RECTO meron daw. So byahe na naman kami, nakisiksik ulit sa LRT, pagdating sa CARRIEDO may nakita kaming pulis (atleast visible sila). Nagtanong kami kung saan ang kuhanan dun sa place na yun. Ang sabi lang nila di na kami aabot kasi may cut-off daw. First 500 applicant lang ang sini serve ng office na yun. Itinuro naman kami sa main office daw along UN AVENUE baka (as in may “baka” umabot pa daw kami). So byahe na naman kami papuntang UN AVENUE. Pagdating dun, WOW! AS IN WOW TALAGA ang pila. At take note, blockbuster din ang pila. In the end, we decided na umuwi nalang. WALANG NAPALA…

  50. shane

    ilang applicant lang ang tinatanggap sa robs otis? mala pila balde pa ba ang pila dun? haay..stupid government processing!

  52. shane

    anyway thanks sa info :) much much :D

  65. EBYANG

    I agree..kahit dito s cebu ngayon releasing is too very slow!
    Dapat may aksyon n dito ang govebyerno.paano na kaming mag i interyo for us embassy?!

  66. april

    just went sa rob otis kanina… i went there around 3:30pm then i got my nbi clearance around 4:30pm… okay ang service so far… organized… d mahaba ang pila at aircon pa… =)

  67. CyanFox

    The question is – based on how NBI is inefficient in its own data management (as evidenced by this simple fact that now ALL our CONFIDENTIAL data is at the MERCY of those private contractors), should the NBI clearance still be required for employment?

  68. harnihaze

    sobrang bagal ng process ng nbi clearance ngayon not like before nung nasa sm pa.. kahit 10am na ko nag punta na ok pa din, ngayon kailangan mo pumunta ng madaling araw para makahabol ka sa number.. husband ko until now nandun pa din nakapila, take note mag babayad pa lang cya.. nag tanong tanong cya sa iba ung iba daw 1am palang nandun na..

    Thanks to all, the comments here are very informative. Tried my luck at Rob Otis yesterday and the process was such a breeze. Got my NBI clearance after 30min, got there around 3:15pm and finished before 4. Maybe it helped that the weather was dull, as there were few applicants…

    I commend the NBI staff there, that is the ideal public service!

  71. gracepashonizta

    waaa s robinson galleria 1st 5oo lng may number system p…s mandaluyong city hall nmn 1st 3oo..aysus!!

  72. Rodalyn D. Velasco

    last 2006 madali akong nakakuha ng NBI clearce,then last week kumuha ako ng NBI then sabi nila na hits daw..then it`s take with in 1 months para makuha ko ang NBI clearance ko.

  73. Xander

    Kumuha ako ng NBI clearance at 3rd week of July 2011, pro until now, wla parin October na..sbi ng NBI Dumaguete after 21 working days mkukuha na..my update po ba?

    thnx.

  74. grace

    Another way to get your NBI clearance/renewal is to check out the nearest job fair. NBI and SSS sometimes have booths there for the new job hunters. Noticed during the job fair last week at Megamall that mainly SM service staff were falling in line for the clearance. Get it in minutes without the atrocious lines (provided they don’t get a hit on your name. Yun nga lang, they ran out of forms early, around 3pm.

  75. aj

    Thanks to this blog and the comments, successful pagkuha ko ng NBI clearance sa Robinsons Otis. 30minutes from the payment step to the releasing step, fortunately wala akong hit.

    GO Rob Otis! \m/

  121. MaMa

    I brought with me my husband’s duly filled renewal application form along with the finger print card which he completed at Phil Embassy in Doha Qatar. The instruction attached was to send it to any relative with authorization letter for filing and processing. What if you don’t have any relative to do on your husband’s behalf, and I’m travelling back to Doha too..is there any other way I can file this (by post or ….)
    Appreciate your quick response.

  133. Macasaet

    noynoy, wala bang dapat managot dito sa perwisyong ito???

    puro pa pogi ang gobyernong ito at ang taas kuno sa survey .. tsk.. tsk..

    hindi tayo dapat nagdurusa ng ganito dahil nagbabayad tayo ng tamang buwis para sa mga hunghang na mga empleyado ng gobyerno mula sa pinaka mababang posisyon hanggang sa pinakamataas. lintek ang kinakaltas nyo sa sweldo ko tapos ganito ang serbisyong ibibigay nyo mga tinamaan kayo ng kamote!

  134. Macasaet

    nakakita pako ng isang empleyado ng nbi (clerk) aba’t sinesermonan ang applicant! tinamaan talaga ng lintek komo’t yun manong ay mukhang construction boy e pwede na nyang sermonan tsk.. wala talaga… “sila ang boss nyo hindi kayo ang boss nya” – tandaan natin yan, dahil sa isang napakalaking pagkakamali noong nakaraang eleksyon-nagpadala nanaman kc si juan dela cruz sa matatamis na pangako.

    -bago nyo i criticize itong comment ko,
    ang gusto ko lang naman ay mamulat ang mga pilipino sa tunay na sitwasyon ng bansa at makialam sa mga isyung politikal ng hindi nagogoyo ng mga kandidato.

  136. ganda

    ang hirap na nga maghanap ng trabaho.mas mahirap pa kumuha ng requirements lalo sa ahensya nyo(nbi).hi-tech na po ngayon lo-tech pa rin kyo.walastech kayo!

  140. Mon

    Let me share one trashy anecdote: I reside in Dasmariñas, Cavite and I traveled all the way to Victory Mall in Monumento for NBI renewal. And one thing that surprises me was it just took me less than 20 minutes to received my renewed clearance, but this happened more than a year ago and I don’t have any idea whether the situation stays the same.

  141. Anne

    Punta ko Tom rob Otis., sino sama?! Haha!! Wala ko kasama., nakakalungkot naman.. Comment ako ulit d2 Kung successful ako sa challenge ng sistema natin., hayst!! Godbless our system Lord..

    @Macasaet – di kita masisisi. kaasar nga minsan mga government employees. double-standard, depende sa bihis at itsura ng tao pakikitungo. had the same experience at dti-buendia siguro a decade ago.

  146. sheryl manalo

  150. raccoongirl

    Thanks for this site I was able to get my clearance in a breeze. It was truly a big help to have read this post instead of going to Robinsons galleria.

    Here goes my experience in getting NBI clearance at Robinsons Otis: I arrived 6:30am, there was a queue already. At precisely 8am, they let us inside the mall. Still falling in line, we went up to the second floor to a waiting area with chairs lined in tens. A staff made it sure that we were seated according to our line. At 8:30, he started to ask the first 5 lines (50 persons) to line up at Step 1 Payment area. I was the 62nd person, by the way. At 8:45, the next 50 persons were asked to proceed to the payment area. By 9am, I paid 115pesos. At 9:30, Step 2 for encoding of data. 9:45am, Step 3 Biometrics. 9:47am, release of the clearance.

  151. Ross

    @daddyjoey: i can’t seem to locate my comment. i do think my comment was a big help to a lot of those getting their clearance at nbi otis.

  153. ross

    @daddyjoey: thank you po! i thought it got lost, na-inspire pa naman akong isulat yun! :D anyway, meron po kayong blogs or posts regarding application/renewal of other government units like passport or sss? anyway, i can’t tell how much your blog and its comments have helped me in my journey (?) in getting my nbi clearance.

  154. Edz

    Hello po! May renewal pa po ba ng NBI Clearance sa SM Megamall? At ano po ang mga requirements? Ilang araw po b4 makuha? Salamat po! Nueva Vizcaya pa po kasi ako, dito 3 mos. bagao makuha. E, need ko na po.

  156. Natz

    Pwede rin ba sa robinsons Otis Yung renewal Saka change of surname? Do I have to bring my marriage certificate?

  157. dodarong

    grabe ngayon ang pagkuha ng nbi. dito sa novaliches 1am or 1 ng madaling araw ang start ng pila. pero 8a ans bigayan ng number. napaka bulok ng sistema. napaka peligro kung byabyahe ka ng ganun oras dapat makita nila ang ganun sinaryo. unsafe lalo nga sa mga kabataan or babae.

  159. papamo

    WahhtaaaaPakkk!! Went to galleria last week for renewal, damn hopeless… same story haba ng pila! Napaka inefficient. Anyways anyone tried the online application, does it really work and will it cut down time. I’ll give it a try, those who’ve tried it, any feedbacks?

  160. glaiza manzano

  170. ferdz

    im going to the nbi main to get my clearance … i went thru online application .i give u details what happens next …

  171. sheina83

    Share ko na lang din yung experience ko yung the NBI-online registration. Kailangan bayad muna thru Globe GCash (I paid in the Globe sales office dito sa Festivalmall Alabang kasi wala akong globe sim) bago ka makakaregister, kasi kailangan mo ung reference number dun sa resibo ng Globe. Kailangan din ng email address na valid kasi ipapadala dun yung parang email confirmation. Pagkalogin, input ka lang ng details. When successful na, may kailangan kang iprint na papel na may QR Code. Ito ung parang square na barcode… pagkaprint mo dun, mag-pabook ka naman through text sa nbi. may format na susundan, pero nasa website din naman nila ung format.

    Ayun, so punta na lang sa NBI Main on the day you booked. I was actually late by 1 hour, pero no questions asked naman. Dirediretso nga lang ako from the gate up to the 4th Floor. May nakalagay na sign na Restricted Area, pero I ignored it. Pagkadating ng top floor may makikita ka kaagad na pinto “E-Clearance” ganun lang. Pasok ka lang dun, abot lang ung papel na may QR Code, then wait outside for your name to be called. 5 o anim nga lang ata kami nun, partida 10AM na ata nun. haha. Pagkatawag, pasok ka lang, get your picture taken, and let them scan your fingerprints. Ayun. tapos na. Parang half an hour lang yung buong process. Hindi agad nirelease yun clearance eh, I have to come back on March 6 pa. Ewan kung bakit. Hopefully pagkakuha ko nung clearance mabilis na lang din.

    My boyfriend got his NBI Clearance from Rob Otis din. Pumunta siya around 8:30 na ata nun. He had to come back another day din, after two weeks siguro yun. Pero ung mismong claiming process mabilis lang daw.

  172. wazax

    magkapangalan po kasi ako na may hit..tanong lang po kung sa main(U.N.)po ba ako magrerenew ng nbi clearance eh makukuha ko din the same day..TIA

  173. cherry

    hi po, saan po pinaka madali kumuha? sa robinsons galleria po ba what time po need pumunta? thanks po first time ko po kasi thanks

  174. Nev

    Thanks for the helpful info. Went to Robinson’s Otis around 11.30 am today, got my NBI clearance around 12.45. That’s only 1 hr, 15 minutes including walking time from the mall entrance to the NBI kiosk at the 2nd floor! Fast enough! Got there there just in time before they had an hour lunch break, so basically only about 30-40 people in line. Line was smooth, organized, and kept on moving such that one had no time to stay in place for a minute. God led me to this blog. Thanks a lot for sharing! Btw, as I left the kiosk, around 50 people were already waiting to be accommodated after the lunch break.

  175. Mando

    NBI system today SUCKS! Bigtime! It is so unreliable!!!

    Why? Ok let me share my experience.

    I decided to request for my nbi clearance here in Malolos on 1st week of March 2012. I went there around 6:30am and there was already around 200 people ahead of me, I still stayed and waited patiently until my turn. It took me more or less 9 hrs to process. And then after those verification processes, they told me that I have a “hit” which confused me because a little more than a year lang nung huli akong kumuha ng nbi clearance tapos nung time na yun may kapangalan na daw ako na may kaso. Well posible namang ganun nga ang nangyari so i asked kung kelan ko pedeng makuha ung clearance ko once ma-confirm nila na hindi ako yung may kaso na yun, sabi nila April 27th pa daw!!! that’s 1 1/2 months of waiting! Since nabasa ko dito na mas mabilis ang release kapag may “hit” ka at sa manila ka nagpa-clearance, lumuwas ako the next day.
    I went to Otis because many people here are suggesting it. I arrived there around 7:30am and I was like the 60th. Not bad. It only took me 2 hours to process. On the verification step, I WAS SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT IN THEIR SYSTEM I HAVE NO FREAKING “HIT”.Nakuha ko rin agad ung NBI clearance ko sa Otis. Can you believe that!? What kind of system is this? I wouldn’t be shocked at all kung yung mga kriminal naten dito sa Pinas ay malayang makakaalis ng bansa dahil sa bulok na sistema naten ngaun. Unbelievable.
    By the way, on my application sa Malolos, i did not write my passport number on the form kasi hinde ko dala ung passport ko nun at di ko kabisado number ko. Pero ung sa Otis nilagay ko na, I think dun na lang sila nag-base. Tingin ko lang. Still, NBI SUCKS!

    Hi everyone!

    Daddyjoey, thanks sa blog mo.. Very helpful. Learned a lot from you and the comments here.

    I’ll now share my experience to help others din. Went to rob otis twice.

    1) I went to nbi rob Otis last Feb 13.. Monday at around 630 am un coz I have work. When I arrived pang 45 na ko. May 3 lines. True na by 730 am papapasukin na un first 100.. Pag akyat may waiting area and the staff distributed the forms na. Unfortunately 830am pa start ng process so that’s the only time nag start pila for payment. (By this time, the next batch, maybe the next 100, pinaakyat na din. Nsa likod sila ng waiting area.) So pumila nko for payment, encoding, photo and fingerprints. I observed the first person sa line – Natapos siya 845am… Ako 10am na Natapos pero may hit Ako (got married Kasi) so Babalikan pa.

    2) I went there after a week para magrequest ulet. Under maiden name naman. (my fault dapat 2 na inapply ko nung una).. Went there Monday ulet at 6am. I thought 30 mins would make a Big difference but no. Pang 41 Ako! Same things happened as my first experience. Natapos Lang Ako ng Medyo mas maaga around 940am. But still, my hit na ko. I tried to request Kung pwedeng same release date un 2 clearance ko pero Hindi daw pwede Kasi satellite office Lang sila and may schedule daw talaga release

    My observations/tips:

    A. From 6am to 645 wala difference (accdg to my experience) nasa pang 40+ Ka na. I guess if you want na mauna talaga, you should be there before 6am

    B. bring something na pwede upuan para di mangawit na nakatayo.

    C. I noticed during sa pag-claim ko na ng clearance around 8am, wala ng pila sa baba ng mall. Which means Ang Tao Lang sa pila would be un mga nasa taas na which would be around 200. I guess pag naubos na un and you go there at a later time, wala ng pila. POV ko Lang to ha. Kasi 500 nman Ang quota. So maybe kahit 11am na Ka na dumating or after lunch, basta pasok Ka sa 500 quota, wala ng pila. Again, hula ko Lang to ha. Kung wala Lang Ako pasok cguro, late din Ako pupunta at hind gigising ng maaga para pumila ng 2 hrs!

    D. It’s true very nice mga Tao dun.. For me, ok Ang service nila! If I would need to get nbi again in the future, dun ulet Ako punta (unless of course mag bago system or pag may contact nko dun)

    E. it’s true din na pag may kilala kang taga nbi, walang hassle sa nbi. Lately ko Lang nalaman ng may kamag anak pala Kmi na dun work. And kwento nga nila. Pag may contact Ka, punta Ka Lang office, wala ng pila, makuha agad clearance

    Hana na ng post ko sorry. Thanks again daddyjoey And to the others who shared their experience.. Let’s continue helping each other. :)

    Went to Ever Gotesco Commonwealth a while ago to secure a NBI clearance. I was there at 8 am na and I was #225. I think they have a cut-off in the morning since only 250+ applications were processed by lunch time. There were still applicants waiting outside at around 930am.

    I am not sure if they still process applications in the afternoon since they should have a cut-off of 500 per day. Anyway, when I got out, there was no line outside the cinema. So I guess, they don’t really follow the 500 cut-off rule at Ever Gotesco Commonwealth considering their operating hours are from 8am to 5pm.

    It took 4 hours to have my clearance processed.

  180. Jen

    thanks to those who gave such useful info about getting the clearance. went to rob otis. i got mine yesterday. arrived at 3pm and it was released by 4pm.

    the only downside was the trike i rode. the driver had me pay 50php for the ride. but at least, going back to taft only cost me 10php ’cause i rode with two other guys.
    :)

  188. Xian

    @MYNA: Open ba NBI kiosk sa Robinson’s Otis on Saturdays? Pano pumunta dun from Robinson’s Galleria?
