what is complexion in nbi

In the NBI clearance form, “complexion” simply means your natural skin color or tone , used as part of your physical description for identification.

What “complexion” in NBI means

• It refers to the natural color, texture, and general appearance of your skin, not makeup, tanning, or lighting.

• It is one of several physical descriptors (along with height, weight, marks) that help NBI correctly identify you and avoid mix‑ups with people who have the same or similar names.

• It is a descriptive field only; it does not determine whether your clearance will be approved or denied.

Common options you might see (wording can vary slightly by site or year) include things like fair, light, medium, brown, dark, and other similar tones that describe how your skin normally looks.

How to answer the complexion field

• Base your answer on your usual everyday skin tone, not on recent sunburn, tanning, makeup, or skin treatments.

• Choose the option that is closest to how people typically describe you (for example, morena/moreno , maputi , darker tone, etc.).

• You must fill it in; leaving the complexion field blank can prevent you from submitting or completing your NBI clearance application.

• Being accurate and honest helps avoid identity issues or delays, since complexion is stored in your NBI record as part of your personal identification data.
