Many PayPal users ask if they can use their PayPal funds to pay for NBI Clearance, especially for the convenient NBI Clearance Quick Renewal service.
Currently, the official NBI Clearance website (clearance.nbi.gov.ph) and its main payment partners (like GCash, Maya, Banks, Bayad Center, ECPay, 7-Eleven) do not typically list PayPal as a direct payment option for the NBI clearance fee (which is Php 330 + Php 25 service fee = Php 355 for Quick Renewal, including delivery).
How Can PayPal Users Pay?
The most common workaround is to transfer your PayPal funds to a widely accepted e-wallet first:
- Transfer Funds: Move money from your PayPal account to your GCash or Maya account. (Check PayPal and your e-wallet app for transfer fees and instructions).
- Select E-Wallet on NBI Portal: When you process your NBI Clearance Quick Renewal on the NBI website and reach the payment stage, choose GCash or Maya as your payment method.
- Pay using E-Wallet: Follow the prompts to log in to your chosen e-wallet (GCash or Maya) and authorize the payment using the funds you transferred from PayPal.
After Successful Payment (using GCash/Maya/Other Methods):
- For Quick Renewal, your payment confirmation will be processed online. Since this service includes delivery and skips the personal appearance (if eligible – usually for clearances issued from Oct 16, 2016, onwards with no info changes), you just need to wait.
- Your renewed NBI clearance should be delivered to your doorstep, typically within 5-10 working days depending on your location.
While a direct PayPal payment isn’t usually an option, using this transfer method allows you to utilize your PayPal funds indirectly through accepted e-wallets like GCash or Maya. Always check the NBI portal for the latest list of accredited payment channels when you apply.
