In 2003, the NBI launched their campaign to improve the issuance of NBI clearances. They setup kiosks at malls in major cities.
These kiosks are around as big as a hotdog stand. The kiosks are equipped with a computer, a digital camera and a printer.
NBI Clearance Kiosks: with barcode scanner, monitor, keyboard, digital camera and printer to print the clearance I tried out one kiosk at Portavaga mall in Baguio. All within 5 minutes, I made a P120 payment, had a digital ID picture taken, had my name verified, and had a printout with barcode issued.
It would have been all finished sana. Except for one thing: I have a namesake, EDWIN SORIANO, who has a murder case against him. Further verification was required and I was instructed to go to NBI Carriedo.![]()
NBI Clearance Kiosks: Kiosks like these can be found in malls and city halls around the countryUnless you are a criminal, or have a common name, the NBI Clearance kiosks get the job done. Almost painless, I guess, as long as the queue of applicants isn’t too long - like on Monday mornings in SM Megamall where the line stretches from the basement all the way through the staircase up to the 4th floor.

i remember the first tiem na kumuha ako nang NBI. dyan ako kumuha sa grand central. Ayos na e may kiosk din sila dyan. maikli pa ang pila. maghanda ka lang ng P5.00 kasi bebentahan ka ng envelope whether u like it or not. wehehe

Ka Edong,
I just want to thank you for giving out the NBI contact numbers. I was able to call NBI’s office. I had a hard time visiting NBI’s website. It says Bandwidth Limit Exceeded. O di ba, ang baba ng bandwidth nila.
Pero kahit na ganyan ang gobyerno natin, I’m still proud to be a FILIPINO. Keep on helping us and we’ll do the same to our countrymen!

Ka edong,
I’ve been issued a clearance before. But the spelling was incorrect. It should be NIÑA but they only printed NINA. I’ve tried to asked them but i’ve only got an answer na they dont have Ñ sa system nila.
Is it true? Now im planning to renew again, but this time for overseas employment na. Is there a possibility na ma correct nila yung name ko?
Thanks = )
By ka edong on Jun 6, 2007 | Reply
Is it a big issue? For example, do government offices, universities or embassies NOT acknowledge the name because of the mis-spell?
maybe you could just teach the nbi folks alt+143

Hi Zenny,
sa parksquare, may entrance na katapat ng Dusit. Yung entrance , katabi o ka-hilera ng Netopia at Wendy’s ata.
Walk 10 meters into the mall from that entrance and you’ll see the NBI kiosk on your left side.
bring old copy of NBI clearance.
Fees? di ko maalala.

hi ka edong,
i’m plannning to go to megamall and have my nbi renewed but i lost my old NBI clearance personal copy. what do i need to bring/do? will i still be able to get mine renewed within the day? thanks a lot!
By ka edong on Sep 13, 2007 | Reply
If I remember correctly (please verify when you get there), you just need to provide your info. An old copy of previous clearance is *not* required.
They can issue the clearance right there and then IF there are no issues with your clearance (e.g. same name as a person with record).
Goodluck!
