Here's a List of Valid IDs Accepted for NBI Clearance Application

When applying for an NBI Clearance, it is imperative to present two valid identification documents (IDs) bearing your complete name, address, age, and physical appearance.

Outdated photos on the ID must be updated to avoid complications. Similar ID requirements apply for other transactions like opening a bank account or boarding a plane. Failure to provide a valid ID at the NBI Clearance branch will result in denial of your application, as it is a mandatory requirement.
