- I am a very busy person, but I need to renew my clearance. Can our messenger do this for me?
Yes he can, but be sure to give him the copy of your old clearance and attach your latest 2 x 2 black and white photograph or Colored Picture with white background. Update all information that need to be updated, like change in address or your present address and new purpose of application. If there are no changes in the previous information, then write "Same Data" on the renewal form.

- When I applied for clearance last year for local employment, I wrote 1961 as my year of birth. This year, I am applying for employment abroad, but my birth certificate from NSO revealed that my year of birth was 1962. What will I do when I renew my NBI clearance?
You will be required to fill-up a new Fingerprint Chart. Name, date of birth and place of birth are vital information and any change thereof will be our permanent record.
<< BACK
- I petitioned to court for change of my name and was granted. I would like to know if my new name would be reflected on the clearance even if I used my old name in my previous clearance applications.
You will attach a copy of the court decision on your new application. Your new name will be reflected as your true name while your old name will appear as your alias name.
<< BACK
- I have a copy of my NBI clearance, which I applied on January 12, 1990. In June 1995, I was arrested for Damage to Property thru Reckless Imprudence. The case was filed in court and was dismissed in 1997. Presently, I am applying for employment abroad and I am afraid that this case will be reflected on my clearance when I apply for one. Please advise me.
Since your case is already dismissed, this will not be reflected on your clearance. Instead, you will be issued a No Criminal Record remark on the clearance. However, for pending cases, these are reflected on the clearance certificate.
<< BACK
- If I have other problems about clearance, who is the person/s other than the Director to whom I could relay my questions?
You can either call or see the Chief, Electronic Data Processing Division or the Chief, Identification and Records Division who are too willing to accommodate you.
