No More Queues in the Bureau

Most of us have exprienced falling in line in a queue. Most of us decided to quit, most of us say "WTF?", and some were ended up nothing but to wait for their turn.

This is the usual scenario when we try to get our National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance. NBI clearance is the most pertinent document whenever we are trying to seek for the job, apply for visa, passport, or anything. In short, it plays a very important role in our life.As its name implies, it clears our record in the government or public. It is a document that proves that we not liable of any crime.

NBI puts up its kiosk in different municipality and even malls to facilitate the clearance of ones NBI records. But the problem with this one is that if ever you shared a name with a person who has a criminal record, you are forced to go their main office and obliged to seek a Certificate of Denial from the attorney. So illogical and annoying isn't it?

Here is the good news, to accomodate the growing numbers of Filipinos who are renewing their clearance, Mega Data Corp. and NBI launched the NBI Automated Clearance Machine that functions like an ordinary ATM. Mega Data Corp. is the company that provided the machine and its software.

To use the machine, applicant must already have a clearance renewal card which is like an ATM card. The machine will be installed in several brueaus and other government offices, including DFA and malls nationwide. The machine also accepts payments both bills and coins, it has features like biometric system that uses face-recognition and fingerprint scanner to determine the identity of the user.

Nice innovation isn't it?
