Key Points
- Vice Consul Diana Marie D. Jimenez-Leomo from the Philippine Consulate General in Sydney explained that the Consulate assists in processing requirements such as fingerprinting and authentication. However, the NBI office in the Philippines is the one that issues the clearance.
- For Filipinos whose NBI Clearance was issued before 2017, or those with updates or changes in their personal details, they may need to apply again as new applicants due to updates in the NBI system and records processing.
- NBI clearance applications lodged overseas are processed exclusively at the NBI main office in Ermita, Manila. Applicants must send their documents to the Philippines or authorise a representative to process the application on their behalf.
