Required Civil Documents

[pingak0018 1]

Hello!

 

We are on the process of providing documents for my brothers petition. One of the required civil document is a Police Clearance. I was wondering, is the police clearance sufficient or it actually needs an NBI clearance?

 

Thank you!

Police Certificates

Available

Fees: Please check the website for current NBI clearance for travel abroad fees at www.nbiclearance.org.

Document Name: NBI Clearance

Issuing Authority: The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)

Special Seal(s) / Color / Format: Blue, annotated multi-purpose clearance

Issuing Authority Personnel Title: There is no issuing authority personnel title

Registration Criteria: Philippine-born immigrant visa applicants 16 years and over are required to furnish certificates issued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).  Foreign-born applicants who have resided in the Philippines for six months or more may be issued NBI clearances upon application either in person or by mail.  Applicants residing outside the Philippines should send requests for certificates together with money orders or bank drafts for the fees and postage to IRD-Mailed Clearance Section, National Bureau of Investigation, Taft Avenue, and Metro Manila, Philippines.  Philippine Embassies abroad can assist Filipinos in obtaining NBI police clearances.  The NBI has its own fingerprint charts and personal data forms that it will send to the requesting applicant for execution.  Most applicants abroad find it more expeditious to have a relative or friend in the Philippines assist them in obtaining their certificates from the NBI.  In that instance, a letter of authorization is required.  The applicant may also submit a copy ("personal copy") of a prior NBI clearance to facilitate the processing of a new clearance.  Posts are advised that not all arrests and convictions occurring outside of Manila are reported to the NBI.  NBI's criminal records database is not foolproof and the remarks provided on reports often require explanation*.  Manila and major Philippine cities have computerized records.

Procedure for Obtaining: Applicants who prefer to secure the certificate personally must proceed to any NBI Clearance Outlets. For a complete list of NBI outlets, please visit this link:  https://www.nbiclearance.org/how-to-apply-for-nbi-clearance/

All Foreign Nationals requesting for clearance will only be processed at the NBI Main Processing Center located at United Nations Avenue, Ermita Manila.
