City Of Article

The site acts as a helpful companion resource pnpclearance  rather than a direct application tool. Key content includes:

• Explanations of National Police Clearance — What it is (a PNP-issued certificate confirming no criminal/derogatory records in the nationwide database), who needs it (jobs, civil service, licenses, bank accounts, scholarships, etc.), validity (typically 6 months), and features like QR code verification and same-day release for "no hit" cases.


• Comparisons — NPC (PNP database check, nationwide) vs. Local Police Clearance (station-specific, often needs Barangay Clearance) vs. NBI Clearance (deeper court/investigation records, preferred for visas/immigration/overseas work).


• Requirements and IDs — Lists accepted valid IDs (PhilID, passport, driver's license, SSS/MySSS Card, UMID, TIN ID, PRC ID, Voter’s ID, etc.), plus notes on PhilSys National ID integration.


• Fees and Payments — Around ?150 base fee + small convenience charge (total ?160–180), payable via Landbank-linked options (GCash, Maya, cards, 7-Eleven, Bayad Center).


• Step-by-Step Online Application Guide (via NPCS):
  
  
  
  1. Register on the official portal (redirects to or references pnpclearance.ph).
  
  
  2. Verify email and complete profile (personal details, photo).
  
  
  3. Book an appointment at a preferred police station.
  
  
  4. Pay the fee online.
  
  
  5. Attend in person for biometrics (fingerprints, photo, signature) — bring 2 valid IDs and reference/receipt.
  
  
  6. Receive clearance (same-day if no record match; 10–15 working days if "hit" for verification).
  
  
  
  


• Additional Guides — Walk-in local clearance, verification of issued clearances, troubleshooting (missed appointments, payment delays), tips for faster processing, and warnings about fixers/scams.


• Special Topics — PNPA cadet admission requirements, apostille for international use, fee exemptions (e.g., first-time job seekers under RA 11261), and recent updates like the MySSS Card replacing UMID.

The site emphasizes security: use only official portals, avoid sharing sensitive data with unofficial parties, don't post clearance photos publicly (exposes details), and beware of fake websites.

Important Warnings

Numerous fake or misleading sites exist for police/NBI clearances, and Philippine consulates (e.g., in Guam, New York) have issued alerts about fraudulent domains that mimic official ones to steal personal information. While policeclearanceinfo.ph does not appear flagged as fraudulent in recent sources (it positions itself transparently as a guide and redirects to pnpclearance.ph), always double-check and apply only through the confirmed official NPCS site: .

If you're planning to apply for a police clearance in 2026, start at the official PNP portal, use this type of guide for preparation, and contact the NPCS hotline (02) 723-0401 loc. 7663 for direct assistance. This keeps your data secure and avoids unnecessary complications.
