There are 13 NBI clearance branches in Cebu listed in the NBI’s official appointment system. The main one is the NBI regional office on Escario Street in Capitol Site, Cebu City, and there are mall branches across Metro Cebu plus sites in Lapu-Lapu, Talisay, Naga, Bogo and Barili for those outside the city.
Here’s every Cebu branch with its address and a map link, plus tips for choosing one and getting your clearance apostilled in Cebu.
We’re here to help you every step of the way. NBI Clearance Online is an independent guide, not the NBI or a government agency. Branch details come from the official NBI appointment system (checked October 2, 2026). Branches can move or close, so confirm your branch when you book on the official NBI Clearance website (clearance.nbi.gov.ph).

Booking an NBI appointment in Cebu
Book online before you go and compare slots across two or three Cebu branches when you book your NBI appointment, especially in January to March when demand peaks. Bring everything on the NBI clearance requirements checklist. If you had a clearance recently, an online NBI clearance renewal with delivery to Cebu may mean no branch visit at all.
Getting your clearance apostilled in Cebu
You don’t need to fly to Manila. The DFA Consular Office in Cebu at Pacific Mall, Mandaue City, processes the NBI clearance apostille by online appointment.
