Passports can be amended according
to National Identity Cards (NIDs). Recently, the Security Services Division of
the Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a circular in this regard.
According to the circular, if
there is a discrepancy between the NID and the passport of the applicant for a
passport within Bangladesh, the passport can be issued according to the
information provided in the NID (name, parent's name, age, etc.) on the basis
of proper evidence.
In addition, the circular issued
on April 28 by the Security Services Division has to be followed in processing
the passport re-issue application by correcting the information of the
applicants for the passport.
The circular was given to the
Cabinet Secretary, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister, Senior Secretary of
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Secretary of the Ministry of Expatriate
Welfare and Overseas Employment, Secretary of the Bangladesh Election Commission
Secretariat, Director General of the Department of Immigration and Passports,
Director General of Directorate General of Forces Intelligence, Additional
Inspector General of Police Special Branch, e-Passport and Project Director of
Automatic Border Control Management Project.
Ordinary people are facing
difficulties in amending passports. Meanwhile, thousands of passport amendment
applications are stuck in the passport department.
On 28th April this year, the
circular on 'Disposal of Passport Re-Issue Applications at Home and Abroad with
Correction of Information' stated that National Identity Card / JSC / JDC / SSC
/ HSC / Submission / Technical / Open University and the equivalent certificate
should be considered. The birth certificates should be considered in the case of those
who do not have such certificates.
Birth certificates should also be
considered in the case of minors. If necessary, the information provided by the
Special Branch and other intelligence agencies can be verified. It was also
mentioned in the circular that in case of a change of age in the application, a
maximum interval of five years can be considered.
