Business Description
A Police Clearance in the Philippines typically expires six months after the date of issuance. Here’s a guide on understanding its validity and expiration:
1. Standard Validity:
A Police Clearance is valid for 6 months from the date it was issued.
2. Purpose-Specific Expiration:
Some employers or institutions might request a police clearance that is no more than three months old, especially for job applications or visa processing.
3. Renewal:
Once expires, you will need to apply for a new clearance if it is still required for ongoing processes or future needs.
You must undergo the same procedure (online appointment, fee payment, and biometric capture) for renewal.
4. Usage After Expiry:
An expired Police Clearance cannot be used for official transactions, as it is no longer considered valid proof of your criminal background.
Always check the requirements of the institution or entity requesting the clearance, as they may have specific validity guidelines.
