PHL Embassy in Singapore charging fee for NBI clearance procedure

Starting July 1, the Philippine Embassy in Singapore will charge a standard consular fee of SGD42.50 (nearly P1,500) for acknowledging the fingerprinting of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance.

In a statement on its website, the embassy said the fee is in line with the Department of Foreign Affairs’ regular schedule of fees for services rendered by the embassy's consular officers.

"Applicants for NBI clearance will still need to set an online appointment for this service, and to follow all steps, as enumerated in our guidelines for NBI fingerprinting, in our website," it said.

In a separate web page, the embassy said that while the NBI form is not a consular document, the Philippine Embassy assists Filipinos applying for NBI clearance in terms of fingerprinting on the card form.

"Upon completion of the requirements below, the applicant sends the form, together with a special power of attorney, to his/her authorized representative in the Philippines, who will process the clearance with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on your behalf," it said.

Applicants are required to make appointments for the procedure, and are advised to send an email to consular.sgpe@gmail.com with the subject “NBI Fingerprinting Appointment."

NBI fingerprinting slots are open Monday to Friday, from 4 to 5 p.m. only. —Joel Locsin/KBK, GMA News
