NBI Clearance: First-time jobseeker

Steps

Check first-time-jobseeker eligibility
Use NBI’s statutory first-time-jobseeker route, not a paid standard booking.
Obtain the barangay certification and IDs
Obtain the original barangay certification confirming eligibility/six months’ residence and the Oath of Undertaking; bring the National ID or two accepted IDs.
Register / book through the FTJS facility
Follow the first-time-jobseeker instructions linked from the official portal.
Attend for identity checks and biometrics
Use the FTJS lane and present the required documents; qualifying clearance is free.
Receive clearance or follow the review date
A hit requires NBI’s further verification and assigned return date.
