I recently renew my NBI Clearance for local and travel abroad purposes. I was near divisoria, so I decided to go to the nearest satellite office which was in Cluster building one Tutuban Center.
I won’t be able to give here the exact details but you can ask any security guard near the area and they will tell you the exact location. I was able to renew it in less than 30 minutes. If you’re planning to renew your NBI Clearance and you have the personal copy (should be original) of your old NBI clearance it would be better to go the satellite office near your area.
There are restrictions when renewing the clearance especially during Step two which was the picture taking wearing sando or sleeves is prohibited. By the way, there are only two steps when renewing the clearance Step 1 is the Payment which would cost about P115 per original copy or depends on your purpose.

hi, South Central Market, Lawaan, Talisay City, Cebu branch for nbi clearance renewal is offline… does anyone know when it’ll operate again???
It seems you have not been updated about the nightmare in securing an NBI clearance now. Nightmarish is even a subtle term to describe it. It is HELL, especially at NBI Quezon City Hall compound. I wonder why the Phil. Media is mum about the situation. Media should be covering this event in order to inform the whole country and also the world how medieval the NBI system is in processing clearances. I said NBI system but there is actually no system in place. If ever the NBI claims to have a system, then it’s a rotten system.
Why punish the Filipinos seeking that so called clearance. Filipinos pay for such a clearance and yet the NBI could not provide decent service. Imagine, 1 whole day would be wasted by each Filipino just to have that clearance. This NBI service is a shame for Pres. Noynoy’s administration. Is PNoy even aware of what’s happening?

Hello Im from Cebu ,,my que is,,is it possible to renew my NBI clearance here in Manila? If so what regional branch is best to go,, my place is in Cainta Rizal, hope to hear you soon. Thank you.
If the beaureu’s database is centralized meaning connected via internet, then you can renew your NBI clearance in any branch. Anyway, you can give it a try. Its better than going back to Cebu just for that matter.
