Re-issue of Machine Readable Passport (MRP)
With the introduction of e-passport, MRP reissue was discontinued. However, considering the problems faced by the expatriate Bangladeshis, the Government has decided to continue the re-issue of MRP till 31 December 2025.
The operation of e-passport service will continue as before. As e-passport has the option of having 10 (ten) years’ validity, the applicants are encouraged to apply for e-passport.
Who can apply to the Embassy of Bangladesh in Washington, DC for MRP re-issue:
1. Any Bangladeshi citizen residing in UAE.
***The applicants residing within the jurisdiction of DUBAI AND NORTHERN EMIRATES are requested to avail their consular services from the Bangladesh consulate general office in DUBAI.
Who are not eligible to apply for MRP re-issue:
Those who have only handwritten passport (no MRP) cannot apply for MRP re-issue. They can apply only for e-passport(prior permission from SSD) because they are required to come in-person to the Embassy to submit their bio-metrics.
The applicants with Bangladeshi passport having more than one year validity can't apply unless proved by a supporting document justifying their legitimate necessity.
