Main NBI Hotline Number {#main-nbi-hotline-number}
The official NBI hotline number for the main office is:
📞 (02) 8523-8231
This line rings through to the NBI main office at Filinvest Cyberzone Bay, Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, Pasay City. It’s the safest starting point whenever you’re unsure which department handles your concern — the operator will transfer you to the right unit.
For clearance-specific concerns, however, you’ll get a faster answer by calling the NBI Clearance Center directly (see the next section), since the main hotline covers all NBI services, not only clearance processing.

NBI Clearance Hotline & Email {#nbi-clearance-hotline}
If your concern is specifically about an NBI clearance application, renewal, HIT status, or appointment, use the Clearance Center’s direct lines instead of the general hotline:
| Contact Type | Number / Email |
|---|---|
| Clearance Landline | (02) 8524-1277 |
| Clearance Mobile | 0939 150 2880 |
| Clearance Email | nbiclearance@nbi.gov.ph |
| Office Hours | Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM |
| Office Address | NBI Clearance Building, United Nations Avenue, Ermita, Manila, 1000 |
This is the number to call if your application shows a delay, your printed clearance won’t generate, or you need to confirm whether your appointment slot is confirmed. For step-by-step help before you even need to call, see our NBI Clearance Problems & Solutions Guide.
Clearance Delivery & Mailed Clearance Contacts
Two more numbers matter if you paid for Quick Renewal home delivery or are applying from abroad:
Delivery tracking: +63 949 631 0713 and +63 920 412 9999
Delivery helpdesk (for tracking issues or delays): +63 961 731 9404, +63 960 891 5222, and +63 960 828 7044
Mailed clearance (applicants overseas): Mobile: 0915 689 3113 or 0920 122 3327 · Email: mailedclearance@nbi.gov.ph
If you’re an OFW or based abroad, pair this contact info with our full NBI Clearance for OFWs Guide and the How to Get NBI Clearance While Abroad walkthrough — both explain the documents these numbers will ask you for before they can assist.

District offices (e.g., Dagupan, Cabanatuan, Bacolod, Dumaguete) each have their own local landline — the full list with maps is on the official NBI Regional & District Offices page. For a city-by-city breakdown of Metro Manila branches specifically, see our NBI Clearance Branches: Complete Directory.
How to Reach NBI by Email
Phone lines get busy, especially during renewal season. Email is often faster for non-urgent concerns:
- General clearance concerns: nbiclearance@nbi.gov.ph
- Mailed/overseas clearance: mailedclearance@nbi.gov.ph
- Your regional office: use the region-specific email from the table above
When emailing, include your full name, reference number, and a clear description of the issue — this speeds up processing significantly, since NBI staff won’t need to reply asking for these details first.
