I went to process my NBI Clearance this morning via online application and it was hassle-free. Contrary to horror stories of lining up for 6 hours or even more, I had my photo and fingerprint taken in less than 5 minutes!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. PAY THROUGH GLOBE PAYMENT CENTERS OR VIA GCASH
(I personally prefer to pay directly to Globe Payment Centers as GCASH can be more complicated).
* Go to a Globe Payment Center
(I recommend Eastwood Mall as there's no long queue.)
** Get the form for G Cash, indicate the G Cash number (288-2917-5638053) and amount (Php 115)
*** Ask the person in the counter to write the reference number and date as you will use this later in the online application
2. FILL OUT THE APPLICATION FORM ONLINE
* Go to this link <
https://nbi-online.com/login>
** Enter your email address, reference number, date registered, purpose, and validate.
*** Fill out the application form.
**** Print the QR code/confirmation provided.
3. BOOK AN APPOINTMENT VIA MOBILE PHONE
* Text BOOK <space> Reference # <space> Location <space> MMDDYYYY <spance> HHMM <space> Name and send to 0917-5638054
(Ex. BOOK 322599711 NCR 02022012 1000 Jerome HIPOLITO)
** You will receive a confirmation of your schedule after a few minutes.
(I booked mine for the next day and I got a confirmation right away.)
4. PROCEED TO MAIN NBI CLEARANCE (U.N. AVENUE)
* Directions: If you're coming from Quezon City, take LRT Line 2 and get off at Recto Station. Change to LRT Line 1 and get off at United Nations Station. If you're heading southbound terminus Baclaran, you may exit to the mini mall connected to the metro station, go down to first floor, take the entrance near Le Coeur De France, turn right upon exit, then you'll see the NBI office.
(There's normally a LOT of people outside!)
** Don't forget to bring your printed confirmation and booking reference in your mobile phone.
*** Once you get to NBI, proceed directly to 4th floor, that's where you'll find the E-lane for NBI clearance.
(It's strange that I was the only one in E-lane and there were hundreds of people lining up downstrairs for the manual application.
**** Have your photo and thumbmark taken.
(It took me less than 5 mins to prcess it!)
***** Get the receipt with the indicated release date.
5. COME BACK FOR NBI CLEARANCE RELEASING
* The person-in-charge asked me to come back after 3 working days to get my NBI.
(I'm not sure about the standard processing time)
** You can ask someone to get the NBI Clearance for you. Simply present the receipt, authorization letter, and a photocopy of your ID.
