Renewal of Bangladesh passport

 Key things to keep in mind before application:

 

1. As on the date of this write-up, only e-passports are being issued in Dhaka based passport offices.
2. No address verification is needed if only current address is changed
3. For permanent address, address verification will be needed if the Thana (Police Station) is different.
4. If you make any mistake at the time of filling up the application online and submit it, you can rectify those mistakes at the time of biometric input/taking picture on your appointment date.
5. You can submit as a regular application and make payment for the urgent application if you have valid urgency, you may need some assistance from the officials of the passport office in those cases.
6. If you face any problem you may speak to deputy assistant director, assistant director, additional director of the passport office, they are usually co-operative in most cases if you have a valid case.
7. Avoid any tout, agents as they will only confuse you and most of them will make mistakes in your application which will result in erroneous data on your passport.
8. For passport fees, paying at the bank is the safest option even if it’s a bit time consuming. Error rates of digital payment is quite high and may result in added hassle.
