Helping Filipinos Navigate Government Clearance Processes Since 2024

Welcome to PhilippinesPoliceClearance.com – your trusted, independent guide to understanding and obtaining police clearances, NBI clearances, and other essential government documents in the Philippines.

Our Mission

We exist to make the often confusing and frustrating process of obtaining government clearances simple, clear, and stress-free for Filipinos everywhere – whether you’re applying for your first job, preparing to work abroad as an OFW, or completing visa requirements.

Our goal is simple: Provide accurate, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand information that helps you navigate Philippine government clearance processes with confidence.

Who We Are

PhilippinesPoliceClearance.com is an independent information resource created by Filipinos, for Filipinos. We are NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any Philippine government agency including:

• Philippine National Police (PNP)
• National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)
• Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)
• Any other government department or agency

We are a private, educational website dedicated to helping people understand government processes through comprehensive guides, step-by-step instructions, and practical advice based on real experiences.

Our Story

PhilippinesPoliceClearance.com was founded by Maria Santos, a former OFW who spent over 10 years working in the Middle East and Europe. During her time abroad, Maria helped dozens of fellow Filipinos navigate the complex requirements for police clearances, NBI clearances, visa applications, and employment documentation.

Maria experienced firsthand the frustration of:

• Confusing government websites with outdated information
• Long lines at government offices due to incomplete requirements
• Wasted trips because of unclear procedures
• Conflicting information from different sources
• Last-minute rushes to get clearances before job or visa deadlines

After returning to the Philippines in 2023, Maria decided to create a single, reliable resource where Filipinos could find accurate, comprehensive, and updated information about obtaining government clearances – all in one place.

Today, PhilippinesPoliceClearance.com serves thousands of visitors monthly who are preparing for employment, travel, migration, or other life events requiring official clearances.
