# Clearances for jobs and applications in the Philippines

Employers, agencies and embassies often ask for a clearance. The NBI clearance and the PNP police clearance come from different offices and answer different checks, so read what the recipient names before you apply.

See the [NBI clearance renewal requirements](https://dokus.app/en-ph/nbi-clearance-renewal-requirements/) and the [requirements for a police clearance](https://dokus.app/en-ph/police-clearance-requirements/). Keep the printed clearance as issued and send a personal copy only when the recipient accepts one.

## [NBI clearance renewal: requirements and online renewal](https://dokus.app/en-ph/nbi-clearance-renewal-requirements/)

Renew your NBI clearance online with courier delivery or at an NBI branch: who qualifies, the two valid IDs to bring and what to keep from the transaction.

## [Requirements for a police clearance from the PNP](https://dokus.app/en-ph/police-clearance-requirements/)

Apply for a National Police Clearance on pnpclearance.ph: one valid government-issued ID, an appointment, online payment and the renewal without appearance.
