The Department of Justice (DOJ) on their newly launched NBI Clearance online application system this January 2014 receives disappointment and criticisms as the new process did not eliminate the long lines and chaos of applicants and lots of questions bombard online for the step by step guide and requirements for the renewal and new application.
However, DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima said that in the new NBI clearance system, they will continue to roll-out and implement solutions to progressively eliminate queues and simplify processes. In addition, Director of NBI Virgilio L. Mendez said that we can expect significant progress in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the NBI also released step by step guide in applying NBI clearance thru online application - a quick reference of new applicants and renewals.

Review of the initial run of the New NBI Clearance Online System:
The DOJ boasts that around 36,000 applicants used the new online clearance system on the first day. However, these applicants still need to undergo on the traditional system - long line for the payment and biometrics.
According to some reports, some of the satellite offices are not yet fully ready as the online clearance application was launched last month.
The experience of applicants on the new process will vary per NBI satellite office.
NBI admitted that the automated system will continue to improve in the next few weeks.
It is also recommended that NBI should separate the line of those who filed thru online to those that are walk-in applicants. Payment system should be improved also same on NSO and passport application.
Let's find out some major improvement on the NBI Clearance Online process in the following weeks. For more information about NBI Clearance, call their HelpDesk on Direct Line - 526.12.94 or trunkline - 523.82.31 local 5499.
