How to Check Bangladesh e-Passport Status Online
After submitting your Bangladesh e-passport application and completing biometric enrollment at the passport office, you can easily check your passport status online through the official Bangladesh e-passport portal. The online passport tracking system allows applicants to monitor every stage of the application process, including police verification, backend verification, printing status, shipment status, and passport collection readiness.
To check your Bangladesh passport status online, you will need either your Application ID from the delivery slip issued by the passport office or your Online Registration ID (OID) from the online application. You will also need to provide your date of birth exactly as entered during the passport application process. Once the required information is submitted, the system will instantly display the latest status of your passport application.
This guide explains the complete Bangladesh e-passport status checking process, where to find your Application ID or OID, the meaning of each passport application status, and how to know when your passport is ready for collection from the passport office.
Information Required to Check Passport Status
To check your Bangladesh e-passport application status online, you only need one of the following identification numbers along with your date of birth.
- Application ID OR Online Registration ID (OID)
- Date of Birth
Step 1: Open the Official Bangladesh e-Passport Status Check Portal
To check your Bangladesh e-passport application status, first open the official government passport tracking portal at epassport.gov.bd/authorization/application-status.

You can find these details on the delivery slip provided by the passport office after completing your biometric enrollment. This slip is very important for tracking your application status online.
Step 3: Enter Your Date of Birth for Verification
