Visiting the Concerned Offices for the Clearances
During the learner’s days in immersion, it is necessary for the students to secure clearances for them to be cleared,
qualified and to be ready in the job their applying for. Besides resume and application forms, you will also need other
documents such as: Barangay clearance, Police clearance, Mayor’s clearance and medical certificate. Due to the current
situation you will no longer secure these needed requirements, but you still need to know the meaning, purpose and
importance of such clearances.
What is 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. The certificate is signed by the Barangay Chairman. Stamped and sealed with the official Barangay Seal.
What is Police Clearance?
Police Clearance is a document issued to a person to prove and certify that he/she is free and cleared from any case,
liability, crime, offense, and bad record in the local town or municipality he/ she is currently residing. The Police
Department or PNP Station is authorized to issue this certificate to any individual under its jurisdiction. Police Clearance
is usually requested when you apply for a job either local or abroad or when you need to show some supporting
documents in applying for an ID like passport or when a government agency or any office requires it. Police clearance is
valid for 6 months while NBI is valid for one year.
Mayor’s Clearance
Individuals need to secure a Mayor’s Clearance before they can apply for a firearms license. People seeking employment
are sometimes also required to secure the same. This is especially true of applicants to the Philippine National Police
(PNP). Some schools and overseas employment agencies require their students/recruits to secure a Certificate of Good
Moral Character before they are allowed to enroll or apply.
Obtaining a Medical Certificate
It is so important for medical practitioners to keep in mind their legal and professional responsibilities when issuing
medical certificates. When issuing a medical certificate, it must be honest and not misleading. Practitioners may only
sign medical certificates they believe, to be completely accurate.
