Your Options for Getting NBI Clearance Abroad

Option 1: Philippine Consulate / Embassy (limited)

Some consulates offer NBI assistance for OFWs. However, not all consulates provide this service, availability is limited, and wait times can be months. This option is not reliable for urgent visa deadlines.

Option 2: Online NBI System (limited for overseas)

The NBI online portal requires a Philippine address for delivery and biometric enrollment at an NBI center — neither of which is practical when you are abroad.

Option 3: Authorized Representative in the Philippines (recommended)

The most reliable method. An authorized representative handles NBI application, biometric enrollment, and retrieval on your behalf. We provide this service through our Cebu office — no personal contacts in the Philippines needed.

We are your authorized representative in the Philippines

Our Cebu team handles NBI enrollment, retrieval, DFA Apostille, and international shipping. You provide the applicant information — we do everything else.

Who This Is For

OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) applying for residency or new employment

Many countries require NBI Clearance for OFW employment and residency applications. We help you get it without returning to the Philippines.

Filipinos on K-1, CR-1, spouse visa applications

Immigration authorities (USCIS, IRCC, Home Affairs, UKVI, Immigration Bureau Japan) all require NBI Clearance with DFA Apostille. We handle the full process.

Filipinos applying for permanent residency or naturalization abroad

Citizenship and PR applications typically require NBI Clearance as a criminal background check. We retrieve it and arrange DFA Apostille for use internationally.
