A Bangladesh passport is a travel document issued by the Government of Bangladesh ONLY to its citizens for the purpose of international travel. It must be either in the custody of the bearer or of a person duly authorized by its bearer. If lost or destroyed, the fact and circumstances must be immediately reported to the Passport Office in Bangladesh or the nearest Bangladesh Mission and to the local police authorities.

Issuance of a passport can be denied on grounds of suppression of facts or submission of incorrect information. Any willful damage to passport or unauthorized changes/corrections on a passport will render it invalid.

A passport, upon request, may be issued to a Bangladeshi national on the following grounds:

• The passport has completed or is about to complete 10 years
• The pages of the passport has exhausted or is about to exhaust
• The passport has been damaged
• The passport has been lost / stolen / destroyed

PLEASE KEEP A PHOTOCOPY OF YOUR PASSPORT IN A SAFE PLACE. WITHOUT DETAILS OF THE PREVIOUS PASSPORT, ISSUANCE OF A PASSPORT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY BE DELAYED.
