How to get a Police Clearance in the Philippines
Here are the steps in applying or getting Police Clearance in the Philippines.
1. Get a CTC (Community Tax Certificate) or sedula.
2. Get BRGY. CLEARANCE, of course from the barangay where you live in. You have to bring two 2X2 ID picture and you’ll pay some amount.
3. Get a POLICE CLEARANCE Form from your Municipal police Station and there’s a fee for this.
4. Fill-out the FORM and hand it to the person in-charge.
5. An ID picture is needed. Some police stations are already high-tech that they have a digital camera but otherwise, you have to bring two 2X2 picture again.
6. You may need to wait to get your POLICE CLEARANCE. Typically, they release it on the same day or few hours after you submitted your application form.

good day! this is actually not a comment but rather a simple question…
i basically applied for my first police clearance and i have been asked to pay P20.00 from the municipal office for an official receipt then after that, when i formally processed the application in the police headquarters, i was asked to pay another P80.00. i demanded for a receipt but they gave me a “CAJ Informations Solutions” receipt and it was addressed to Plaridel, Bulacan
I went to the municipal office again but they seem to be making excuses and not giving me answers…
im planning to have a formal complaint but i need supporting documents first of course…
hope you can give some clarification on my concern…
Thank you in advance…

Hi lizie and jean, did you get an answer to your queries re police clearance without personal appearance?
Need help too! Thanks
Hello Jean and cherry,
I am filipina from England. To get a Police Clearance without your appearance, this is the things you need to do :
A) IF YOU ARE WITHIN PHILIPPINES :
1) If this is the first time you will apply for Police Clearance, there’s no way you can get it without personal appearance.
2) How ever if this is not the first time, and you have your old clearance, you can renew it by asking somebody to transact it in behalf of you. All you have to do is Give this old copy and authorization letter authorizing this person, 1 pc. 2 x 2 picture in white back ground.
3) Normally it will only take one day maximum, or you can make it for an hour if you are early as there are also other applicants to be accomodated.
B) IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE PHILIPPINES.
1) If you have the old copy, send it to your relatives with authorization Letter. And of course the money for the payment. It cost you P/215.00 for one copy, the same amount depending on how many copies you are going to request.
2) If you don’t have old copy, you may go to the Philippine embassy in the country where you are now.
Application for NBI Clearance
Note: All applications for NBI clearance should be made in person. Fingerprinting Card Forms are available at the Philippine Embassy, Consular Section.
A. Completed Fingerprint Card Form (Civilian Form for Filipino nationals and Alien Form for foreign nationals)
B. In case the applicant is a married woman, she should write her name as follows:
1. maiden surname (family or surname of father)
2. first name or given name
3. maternal surname (maiden surname of mother)
4. the applicant’s husband’s last or family name and first name (space for this purpose is provided in the card)
C. 2’x2’ photo taken within the last six (6) months on white background
D. notarial fee.
After the Philippine Embassy has authenticated the NBI clearance, the applicant should send it to the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) at NBI Building, Taft Avenue, Manila, Philippines. NBI’s Tel.No. is (632) 532 8231 to 38. The applicant should also enclose in International Check/Money Order the sum of USD4.00 or Php200.00 payable to the Director, National Bureau of Investigation. The certificate will be sent back to the applicant after it was processed.
It is advised that you send to your relatives than sending it to Manila. It will take longer if you will send it directly to manila instead however, if you ask your relatives to do it, it is as short as you are the one transacting it.
Upon receipt of clearance, the applicant should examine it for presence of embossed NBI DRY SEAL at its lower left portion. Without it, the clearance is not valid.
