How Much Is An Nbi Clearance Multi-Purpose Fee?

As you may know, the NBI clearance for a long time functions as a multipurpose document. So getting one, whether new or a renewal, entails a fixed amount of money.

Before, the fee depended on the purpose of the NBI clearance. Since the implementation of the “issued for whatever legal purposes” policy began on March 12, 2018, the price no longer varies.

That brings us to the question, how much is an NBI clearance multi-purpose fee?

What Is An NBI Clearance Multi-Purpose Fee?

Simply put, it is the payment you make to acquire NBI clearance. It’s called the NBI clearance multipurpose fee because it is a relatively constant payment for the “multi-purpose” NBI clearance.

Immediately after the policy’s implementation, the multi-purpose fee  pegged at PHP115. However, due to an increase in documentary stamp task(DST) and other factors, it pegged at PHP170 (PHP130 for clearance fee + PHP 15 for DST + PHP25 for NBI clearance online system fee).

There may also be additional fees depending on your selected method of payment.

Mediums To Pay An NBI Clearance Multi Purpose Fee

There are several ways to pay the NBI clearance multi-purpose fee. You just have to select the one that is most convenient for you.
