How to Pay NBI Clearance Using GCash

To pay your NBI Clearance using GCash, log in to your NBI Clearance Online account at https://clearance.nbi.gov.ph, schedule your appointment, get your Reference Number, and pay through GCash → Bills Payment → Government → NBI. The total fee is ₱155 (₱130 clearance fee + ₱25 service charge). Once payment is confirmed, your appointment becomes official.

GCash is the fastest and most convenient way to pay for your NBI Clearance fee.
You can pay anywhere, anytime—no need to visit 7-Eleven or Bayad Centers.

In 2025, GCash remains one of NBI’s official e-payment partners, allowing real-time confirmation within minutes.
It’s ideal for applicants who prefer a cashless, paperless, and hassle-free process.

Step 1: Go to the Official NBI Clearance Website

Visit https://clearance.nbi.gov.ph using your mobile or computer.

You’ll see the login form on the homepage.

• If you already have an account, click Sign In.
• If not, click Register New Account and fill out your personal details.

Step 2: Log In and Click “Apply for Clearance”

Once logged in, click the “Apply for Clearance” button on your dashboard.

Fill out your details completely and correctly—name, birthdate, purpose, and ID type.
After completing the form, proceed to select your NBI Branch and Appointment Schedule.

✅ Tip: Choose a branch close to your location and an early morning schedule for faster processing.

Step 3: Select Payment Option

After scheduling your appointment, you’ll be directed to the Payment Options page.

Here, you’ll see your Reference Number and Amount to Pay.

For 2025, the official NBI Clearance fee is:

• ₱130 – Clearance Fee
• ₱25 – e-Payment Service Fee
  Total: ₱155

Click “Proceed to Payment.”

A list of payment options will appear:

• GCash
• 7-Eleven
• Bayad Center
• Coins.ph
• UnionBank
• ECPay

Choose GCash from the list.

Step 4: Copy Your NBI Reference Number

Once GCash is selected, a confirmation window will appear with your Reference Number (e.g., MP72G81S).

This number is important — you’ll use it to pay via the GCash app.

🧾 Reminder: Take a screenshot or write down your Reference Number. Do not use your application ID; they’re different.

Step 5: Open Your GCash App

On your phone, open the GCash app, then follow these steps:

1. Tap “Bills Payment.”
2. Tap “Government.”
3. Select “NBI.”
4. Enter the following details:
   • Account Number: Your NBI Reference Number
   • Amount: ₱155
   • Contact Number: Your mobile number
   • Email Address: (optional but recommended for receipt)
5. Tap “Next” → Review details → Confirm Payment.

Wait for the confirmation message or email from GCash.

Step 6: Confirm Your Payment

After successful payment, you’ll receive a confirmation SMS or email from GCash.

You can also verify it by going to:

GCash App → Transactions → Bills Payment History

Look for “NBI” as the merchant name and check that the status says “Successful.”

Step 7: Check Your Payment Status in NBI Portal

Return to your NBI Clearance account dashboard, then click the “Transactions” tab.
Your application should now show a Paid status.

If it still says “Pending,” wait 30–60 minutes. Sometimes, it takes time for the payment gateway to sync.

Once “Paid” appears, you can now print your NBI Application Form.

🖨️ Tip: Always print your form on long bond paper (8.5 x 13 inches) for best readability.

After payment, your printed form will look like this:

• Reference Number
• QR Code
• Applicant Name
• Payment Method (GCash)
• Appointment Date and Time
• NBI Branch

If your GCash transaction fails, you can also use:

• 7-Eleven (CliQQ Kiosk → Bills Payment → NBI)
• Bayad Center counters nationwide
• UnionBank Online App under “Bills Payment → NBI”
• Coins.ph → Pay Bills → Government → NBI

But GCash remains the most reliable and instant method for 2025.

1. ✅ Double-check your Reference Number – One wrong digit will cause payment failure.
2. ✅ Pay before the deadline – Unpaid slots expire after the cut-off time indicated.
3. ✅ Ensure you have enough GCash balance (₱155+) before starting.
4. ✅ Use a stable internet connection – Avoid lag or app crash during payment.
5. ✅ Keep your receipt screenshot – It’s your proof in case of system delay.

If your GCash payment shows as successful but still not marked “Paid” in NBI:

1. Wait at least 2–4 hours (system delay).
2. Re-login to your NBI account and check “Transactions.”
3. If it remains pending, send an email to helpdesk@nbi.gov.ph with:
   • Full Name
   • Reference Number
   • GCash transaction screenshot
   • Payment date and time

They will manually verify and update your record.

💬 Example: “I paid my NBI Clearance fee through GCash at 9 AM and got confirmation instantly. It reflected in my NBI portal within 10 minutes.” — Juan Dela Cruz, Applicant (2025)

After successful payment, here’s what to do next:

1. Print your Application Form.
2. Prepare your valid ID.
3. Visit your chosen NBI branch on your appointment date.

Bring your printed form, valid ID, and payment proof.
Once biometrics are done, you’ll receive your NBI Clearance the same day (if no HIT).
