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.
Submission of Application and Enrollment
While filling-in the online application, you need to choose ABU DHABI mission as your passport office. Your present address must be an address in the UAE and permanent address in Bangladesh.
It is mandatory to appear in-person for bio-metric enrollment after online submission of the application
After submission of your online application, if you find that certain data need to be corrected, please do not worry. Please correct the printout with pen. The official of the Embassy will make necessary changes to your application during bio-metric enrollment at the Embassy. Before completing your enrollment, you will be shown the draft delivery slip. You can sign the delivery slip after checking all your information.
Once you arrive at the Embassy for submit your application to the counter of Passport & Visa Wing, it may take up to 2 to 3 hours before getting your turn to do the bio-metrics as there are six steps in the process of enrollment prior to capturing bio-metrics and most of the applicants come without the required documents; hence the concerned officials need to spend a lot of time helping those applicants prepare their application package.

If you want to upgrade delivery type from 'regular' to 'express', please bring the required amount for the 'express' delivery.
