Any Bangladesh national who has earlier obtained a Machine Readable Passport (MRP), can apply for re-issuance of his/her passport.

The old MRP holders are requested to start MRP applications process at least 7 to 8 months before the date of the expiry of the passport.

Step-1: Application and payment:

Application

An applicant has to submit the following:

• A copy of duly filled-in application form (Re-issue/ Information Alteration/ Correction application form). The form may be downloaded from MRP Re-issue/ Renew/ Correction form.
• When you filled-in application form you must mention your phone number and current address
• Photocopy of existing MRP (information page only)
• 02 copies of recent (Photos should be taken without spectacles and not older than 6 months) colour photographs with white background (size 55×45 mm). If the applicant is a child under the age of 15 years, parents’ photos (30×25mm) are required to be appended on the application form. In certain cases, either of the parent’s photos will be accepted (i.e. if parents are divorced/ either parent is not alive etc.)
• Other relevant documents i.e. copy of Marriage Certificate (Nikahnama not acceptable) for including spouse’s name in the MRP or Divorce Certificate (Affidavit not acceptable) for excluding spouse’s name from the MRP etc
• Receipt of Payment for MRP to Embassy Bank account
• If applicant is a student (graduate and undergraduate) and wants to avail student discount, s/he should submit a photocopy of the valid student ID card and admission letter. The original ID would require to be shown during the enrolment.

Payment

A total amount of USD 110 is to be paid for re-issuance of a passport. If applicant is a student (only for students of graduate and undergraduate level with valid student ID card) and wants to avail student discount, he will pay an amount of USD 33.

Step-2: Process:

Applicant may submit by hand or send by post all mentioned documents to Embassy [Address: Embassy of Bangladesh, Basundhara-3, Kathmandu]. As applicant’s biometric data (finger print, digital photo, digital signature etc) generally remain valid in MRP central data base, the Mission will use those biometric data to enroll for new MRP. So, the applicant does not need to visit the Embassy for biometric data.

Please note that in few cases applicant’s old biometric data may not be found in the central data base. In those cases, the Embassy will contact with the applicant by e-mail/ phone for taking bio-metric data again (it happens approximately 1-2% cases) and in that cases applicant will require to come at the Embassy.

If the applicant wants to have any amendment/correction in the application form (for MRP issue/reissue), or wants to change the given biometric data (finger print, digital photo, digital signature etc) then the applicant must be present in person in the Embassy.

If any applicant wants to submit the documents in person directly to the Embassy, he/she must make a prior online appointment. For booking an appointment, please email for appointment at consular.kathmandu@mofa.gov.bd.

Applicant need to take the status of the passport by email or over phone. If the status is ‘Ready for delivery’, the applicant needs to come to the Embassy in person along with his/her previous Bangladeshi Passport and the delivery slip. The new MRP will be handed over along with cancellation of the old passport. The applicant may also authorize someone else to collect his/her passport. In that case the authorized person has to produce the authorization letter and his/her own ID card to establish his identity.

N.B.: Please note that it may require 6-8 weeks (sometimes more than that) to get MRP delivery because after due verifications by the concerned authorities in Bangladesh, MRPs are printed in Dhaka and sent to the Embassy which requires a quite reasonable time.
