How the Embassy can assist with NBI clearances

FOR FIRST TIME/NEW NBI CLEARANCE APPLICATIONS

The NBI form is not a consular document. However, the Philippine Embassy assists Filipinos who are applying for the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance in terms of fingerprinting on the card form. This takes two stages:
STAGE 1: Filling out of NBI form 5 and fingerprinting at the Embassy. A consular officer will assist in impressing your fingerprints and completing the form.
