Dhaka, March 4 -- The Bangladesh government has officially removed police verification from the e-passport application process . In a February 18, 2025 circular, the Security Services Department of the Ministry of Home Affairs confirmed that e-passports will now be issued based solely on the information available in the National Identity Card (NID). For minors and expatriate Bangladeshis, the birth registration certificate (BRC) registered online will serve as the primary verification document. This update aims to streamline passport issuance and reduce processing time. Let's take a look at the overall application procedure for obtaining an e-passport without police clearance .
