E-passport Reissue

If your e-passport has less than one year validity or it is expired or lost or you need data change/correction, you can apply for e-passport reissue. The process is same as applying for a new e-passport. So, you need to apply online, schedule appointment and come in-person for bio-metric enrollment. In e-passport system, bio-metric enrollment is mandatory every time, even while applying for reissue.

Please read carefully all the instructions in this page before going to fill-in and submit the online application form. The link of the E-passport Online Registration Portal is given at the end of this page.

Who can apply for e-passport?

To apply for e-passport, you must have either a Bangladeshi NID card or a Birth Registration Certificate (BRC) having a 17 digit number which is verifiable at everify.bdris.gov.bd. In case of BRC, please make sure that the webpage having your verified BRC contains the necessary data, e.g. names of the applicant and the parents in English and they match with the corresponding data in your application. If they do not match, please contact the office from which the BRC was issued to do the necessary correction

The applicants with Bangladeshi passport having more than one year validity can't apply unless proved by a supporting document justifying the legitimate necessity.
