How to get barangay clearance in philippines

Why you need Barangay Clearance?

This certificate is usually requested for employment requirements, ID application, supporting documents in application to government agencies, supporting documents to medical certificates, Affidavits, and whenever any office requests or requires it.

Barangay Clearance is a document certifying that the applicant is of good moral character and good resident of a given town or barangay. It also proves that the applicant has no bad records or immoral background. In a nutshell, the certificate simply states that the person stated has a good standing as a resident.

This document certifies that the person is a good resident in a barangay and has a good moral character. It also signifies that the applicant does not have any negative record. No wonder, this is necessary in any official transaction.

Good thing is it does not take a while to process Barangay Clearance application in the Philippines. The procedure is simple and it is also affordable.

Requirements

There are a few requirements for Barangay Clearance application. Here they are:

• Application form
• Application fee (this varies per Barangay)
• Recent Community Tax Certificate or Cedula
• Steps

Here are the steps of the application procedure:

1. Go to your place’s Barangay Hall. Inform the officer that you are applying for a Barangay Clearance.
2. State the reason why you need a Barangay Clearance (ID requirement, employment, Postal ID, etc.).
3. Present your Cedula. You can also get this from the Barangay.
4. Pay the application and processing fees.
5. Wait for your Barangay Clearance to be released.
6. You can get your Barangay Clearance in just a day. The fees are also minimum. Therefore, you do not have to worry that application for this can cause you stress. You can go to the Barangay Hall or Municipal Hall in your place to get more information regarding the process.

This document has no expiration date or validity period. However, requesting companies always require and prefer a newly issued clearance. Usually they prefer a certificate that has been issued in the last 6 months so if your BC is within a year, ask the requesting company if they would accept it. If not, you can get another one. I suggest you always bring the original certificate and prepare for some photocopies.

Note that Barangay Clearance is different from NBI Clearance and Police Clearance. If you need the other documents, you must apply for them separately. They also have different requirements and they are applied at their respective offices.
