Getting an NBI Clearance (as of this writing) might be the most frustrating thing to do nowadays since all applications are considered as NEW. So if you want to get one at the city hall, be there as early as possible or you will get nothing!

But wait (hehe), is there's a site which is unknown for most of us where you can get an NBI clearance in just a matter of hour, Its in Robinsons Otis in Paco, Manila. The NBI Clearance center is located at the the 2nd floor.

The place is not popular but very accessible and you would rather go there than wake up early in the morning and wait for nothing.

How to get there:

LRT-UN Ave. then take a tricycle

Note: I got mine in less than 30 minutes. I arrived there at 1pm and got my printed NBI clearance at 1:30.
