To those planning to get an NBI clearance today, instead of battling it out patiently in a depressing queue, you might just want to wait a couple more days.

With the recent news about the terrible service that a lot of individuals had to endure when getting their NBI clearance, the government has finally come to its senses by offering a more convenient form of getting the much needed document especially during job application. The very slow processing resulting in the long queue of applicants were terribly disappointing. Many had to fall in line at the National Bureau of Investigation offices even earlier than 2 am just to be among the first people in line.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced in a press release dated January 23, 2014 that applicants for the NBI Clearance can now apply and fill out the complete form online.

According to the DOJ’s press release, NBI Clearance applicants can now apply and fill out the complete form at www.doj.gov.ph/nbi or www.nbi.gov.ph starting Friday, January 24, 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.
