NBI Clearance Quick Online Renewal Option With Door-To-Door Delivery

NBI Clearance is considered as one of the valid certificates we could use here in the Philippines. It's one of the few valid I.D.s that are usually being asked when we do transactions, application for primary identification cards or even for verification purposes.

A lot of people are requesting for this on a daily basis for initial application and renewal, however, gone are the days when we have to fall in long queues just to have our documents printed. Fortunately, NBI launched a website that we can utilize to register an account with them with all our valid information. This is mainly to avoid the time-consuming filling out of personal information on the actual site. And imagine, with the use of just your laptop/smartphones and a stable connection, you can now register your information online hassle-free.

While there are a lot of step-by-step guides about NBI Clearance Application, I couldn't find any discussion or blogs about the convenience of renewing NBI Clearance online. I can tell because I had troubles figuring out if the NBI Clearance Online Renewal option (found on the upper righthand corner of the NBI website) is actually working or not. While I could patiently wait in long queues, it could save a great amount of time if I could renew my clearance without me having to repeat the steps all over again.

If you are someone who's about to have your first time getting an NBI Clearance, basically, you have to register online, follow normal sign up option, enter your information when prompted and select apply for clearance. You won't have any troubles as the website's interface is user-friendly.

Once you click the 'Ápply For Clearance' button, you'll be prompted as to which valid I.D. you will be presented to validate your information, schedule an appointment to an actual site and pay for the service fee (they offer different modes of payment). On the day of your scheduled appointment, you can only imagine how long the queue is and the dilemma won't end there. You will also have to take a photo, work on biometrics, sign up necessary documents and it will definitely cost you hours. It might even take longer if you don't register online.

In this blog though, we'll focus on NBI Clearance Online Renewal. Good news, all you need is your laptop and a stable internet connection. Ready your e-wallets or mobile banking apps if you want to do everything online.

How To Renew NBI Clearance The Easiest Way?

1. Go to NBI MAIN SITE. Look for NBI Clearance Online Renewal (on the upper righthand corner of the page). Note: There's no need to log in because you won't be able to see this option anymore. Please be advised too that this will only work for certificates issued October 16, 2016 and onwards.

2. A pop up box will appear after you clicked on it. It will prompt you to type in your NBI I.D. No. found in your old clearance. Yes, that's the long alpha-numeric characters. It's also case sensitive. Supply all other needed details such as your phone number, name and birthday. Click VERIFY.

3. You will have to choose an option to verify that this is truly your account. On the drop down button, you'll see 3 options. Choose whichever you want. In my case, I chose MOTHER'S INFORMATION. Supply the correct answer and hit VERIFY.

4. You will see the PAYMENT OPTION page with the price of the clearance and different modes of payment available. Please note that you will have to add an extra fee to use the e-payment service. You have the liberty to choose which payment method works best for you, you just have to click on it to get the reference number together with the additional steps.

In my case, I chose GCash. You will also get an SMS notification from NBI with the reference code. Paying through GCash app is also a breeze if this isn't your first time paying a biller on the app. Just make sure you typed in the correct reference number as failure to do so may cause delays or forfeiture of payment.

5. On the REFERENCE NUMBER page, there's two options on how you could get the clearance. You can come pick it up at the main office (no additional payment) or take advantage of their door-to-door delivery (be ready to pay the shipping fee). Click PROCEED.

DISCLAIMER NOTICE pop-up box will appear to which you'll just need to press AGREE.

6. You will be routed to their partner courier page which is dgi.deliverybox.ph so don't panic. Just click PROCEED after reading and then fill out your shipping details. For a more seamless and accurate delivery, you may even pin your preferred location.

Again, you'll just need to click PROCEED on the bottom part of the page and it will give you further instruction on the payment process. Please take note that you'll have to pay the clearance and shipping fee separately. Expect an e-mail from NBI too after successful payment and once your document has been processed and is ready for shipping. Just make sure to keep an eye on it.

That's basically everything! So easy to have your NBI Clearance renewed without you having to step outside your home. :D  Although you have to understand that it may take a while to be delivered. It took me less than a week to get my document though. If you are in a rush, this isn't the best option for you. 

Note: The NBI Clearance will only show all the information you entered when you initially created your account years back. The same information will display on your new clearance unless updated. If there's an information you would like to change, you will need to log in first and update your account. Although, I noticed that changing major information like address, must be done onsite.

That's pretty much everything you need to know! I never thought this was made possible. If you don't opt for the delivery and much preferred walking in (and saving for the additional fee on shipping), that's perfectly fine too. The process won't take as much time as during your initial application. Just go to the nearest NBI site and they would be willing to assist.
