Hello VJ members! Can somebody please explain to me the difference between a police certificate and a police clearance and how to obtain both. Thank you...

hi! if you are from Philipines, you need to get a police clearance in order to obtain an NBI clearance if its ur first time to get one.But if u already hav one before, u can go ryt at the NBI office and renew it.NBI CLEARANCE is what u need to show at the interview.Police clearance wont be accepted..And about the POLICE CERTIFICATE, u need to have this if you have been to other countries for at least 6 months.

Thank you very much and yes my fiancee is from the Philippines. What you said is true, according to the officer that my finacee asked, a police certificate is for a person who got out of their country for a period of 6 months or more.
