NBI Clearance Fee for New Application and Renewal

NBI Clearance is an important document needed for employment, travel and other purposes. The National Bureau of Investigation charges a nominal amount as the NBI Clearance Fee from the applicant.

The NBI Clearance Fee is mandatory for all applicants except first time job seekers. The NBI Authorities provide exemption from the clearance fee to all first time job seeker applicants.

NBI Clearance Fee

The NBI Clearance Fee is ₱ 130 for one application. Also, NBI Authority takes a ₱ 25 service fee. So the total NBI Clearance Price is ₱ 155 per person. The NBI Clearance Fee remains the same for all purposes of the clearance.

NBI Clearance Fee for First Time Job Seekers

The first time job seekers do not need to pay an NBI Clearance Fee, they can get it for free but they have to obtain a Barangay Certificate to prove that they are first time job seekers in the Philippines.

According to the Republic Act No. 11261 of 2019, the first time job seekers can get all pre-employment documents/certificates including NBI Clearance from the government agencies at free of cost.

So, the NBI Clearance Fee for first time job seekers is Zero.
