Application Type

Have you had an NBI clearance issued in 2014 or later? *

Yes — this is a renewal I have an NBI clearance issued in 2014 or later (or my reference number) No — this is a first-time application My first NBI clearance, or my last one was issued before 2014

First-time applicants — what to expect:

A first-time NBI clearance requires NBI Form No. 5 (the “Blue Form”) — the official Philippine government application form. You may obtain it yourself from a Philippine Consulate or Embassy, or, where we’re able, we can help arrange it for you as a courtesy in the Service & Delivery step below — free if picked up at our Toronto office (Ontario only), or shipped to you for a separate tracked-shipping fee.

Your fingerprints must be taken on Form No. 5 by a licensed (RCMP-accredited) fingerprinting provider in Canada. Fingerprinting is done in person and is a separate cost paid to the provider.

After you submit this form, our team will email you within 1 business day with the form and step-by-step instructions. Learn more: NBI Form No. 5 · Where to get fingerprinted.

Service & Delivery

Processing Speed

Estimates for your digital (PDF) copy only. These times are estimates, not guarantees. They run to the release of your clearance, which we email to you as a digital (PDF) copy. We do not give a time for the paper original, which comes to our Toronto office first and is then delivered by the method you choose below, or held for pick-up. See section 12 of our Terms of Service.

$99 Regular Estimated 15–20 Philippine working days · digital copy $249 Express Estimated 5–10 Philippine business days · digital copy

Do you need us to send you NBI Form No. 5 (the “Blue Form”)? *

Yes — help me get Form No. 5 As a courtesy, we’ll help arrange it — picked up or shipped I’ll get it myself From a Philippine Consulate or Embassy — nothing shipped from us No — I already have Form No. 5 Don’t ship it; I already have the Blue Form

How should we ship Form No. 5 to you?

Tracked shipment of the Blue Form to your address — separate from how your finished clearance is delivered.

The Form No. 5 shipping charge is refunded in full if we do not ship you a form.

How would you like to receive your NBI clearance?

⚠ Regular Mail is not tracked.

Your NBI certificate can be lost or misdelivered in transit, and there is no insurance coverage. If it goes missing there is no recourse, and a reprint and redelivery cost extra. For tracked delivery we recommend Canada Post Xpresspost.

I understand Regular Mail is not tracked and not insured, and I accept the risk of loss or misdelivery (section 7 of the Terms of Service). *

Pick Up: originals are held for 30 days.

When your original reaches our Toronto office, we email you a link to book a pick-up time. Originals are held for 30 days from that email and are then securely shredded; a reprint after that costs extra, plus delivery. If you only need the digital copy, you do not have to collect the original.

I understand my original is held for 30 days from the pick-up email and then shredded, and a reprint after that costs extra (section 7 of the Terms of Service). *

Tracked delivery — after we ship.

We email you the tracking number once the carrier has your clearance. From then on, please follow the tracking and contact the carrier directly about the delivery itself, for example a missed delivery, a notice card, a parcel held for pick-up, or a delay. A claim for a lost or damaged parcel is normally made by the sender, which is us: tell us as soon as you notice a problem and we will make it for you. Any payment is limited to what the carrier pays under its own terms, which for a document is often little more than the postage, and we pass on to you what we receive.

I understand that once I have the tracking number, I deal with the carrier about the delivery, and that any payment for loss or damage is limited to what the carrier pays (section 7 of the Terms of Service). *

Select a province above to see delivery options.

As soon as your NBI clearance is released, a digital (PDF) copy is emailed to you at no charge — regardless of which delivery option you choose. We recommend Canada Post Xpresspost so your original arrives tracked.
