Prepare the following requirements:

- Photocopy of the two (2) valid IDs
- Online Reference Number – the eight (8) character reference number you used during payment

Submit your documents to the receiving window and wait for your name to be called. Once you are called, prepare for the photo and biometrics capture. They will also show you the screen to confirm that the encoded data are correct.
If you don’t have a HIT then they will proceed with printing and will call you again to claim your NBI Clearance.
NBI Says I have a HIT!
However, if you have a HIT then you will not be able to claim your clearance right away. NBI would need to check and clear you and this process usually takes around 1-2 weeks. You can return to claim your clearance after that time.

NBI clearance, here in our province would normally take two weeks. But the good thing is there’s no long queue.
Wow! Where is your province? NBI clearance should only take a few hours to process since they only print it. 🙂
