Online application for NBI Clearance now available starting January 24, 2014!

The Department of Justice has just announced that applicants for the NBI Clearance can now apply and fill out the complete form online at www.doj.gov.ph/nbi or www.nbi.gov.ph starting on Friday (24 January 2014). After the online registration, applicants may proceed directly to any of the 55 sites nationwide for payment and biometric enrollment for the release of the clearance. More details after the jump.

"With the implementation of the new NBI system, we shall continue to roll-out and implement solutions to progressively eliminate queues and simplify processes," said Secretary of Justice Leila M. de Lima. "Online application is the logical next step after the switch," she added.

Newly appointed NBI Director Virgilio L. Mendez said "This is just our third frill week of operation under our watch but we expect significant progress in the coming weeks with the delivery of additional equipment and increase in personnel." He added that the Renewal Module will be implemented next.

The NBI system is now run by the DOJ, a first in the agency's history and substantially upgrades the old systems, while the NBI Clearance System is a component of the flagship National Justice Information System (NJIS) to link and share information among justice sector institutions.
