New Birth Registration Online Application Guide in Bangladesh 2026

Many people say that giving birth is easier than doing birth registration. It sounds funny, but it used to be true.

However, birth registration is not difficult anymore. Now you can easily register your birth or your child’s birth from home using your smartphone in a short time.

In this article, I have explained all the important information about birth registration, how to apply online, what documents are needed, how much it costs, and how many days it takes to receive it.

So, why wait? Let’s get started.

Bangladesh Birth Registration

Every citizen of a country has a National ID card. But until the age of 16 or 18, a Digital Birth Certificate works as the main identity document. According to government rules, a child’s birth should be registered right after birth.

A birth registration is required for school admission, applying for a National ID card, or getting any government service.

You can register a birth by visiting your nearest Birth and Death Registration Office. However, this process can be a bit difficult and time-consuming.

That is why most people now complete their child’s birth registration online from home.

Below, I have explained the online process in a simple step-by-step way. It will help you register your child’s or anyone else’s birth easily, InshaAllah.

What Do You Need for a New Birth Registration?

Before starting the online birth registration, you should first know what information and documents are needed. The required documents are different depending on the age.

From Birth to 5 Years

• A photocopy of the EPI vaccination card, or a copy of the hospital discharge paper if the child was born in a hospital, or a certificate from a health worker
• Any tax payment receipt or a copy of an electricity bill as proof of address
• Parents’ digital birth registration numbers and photocopies of their National ID cards
• A mobile phone number

After 5 Years of Age

However, if you apply for birth registration after the child is 5 years old, you will need the documents mentioned above.

You will also need a Primary School Completion Certificate or any other educational certificate.

But if these certificates are not available, the vaccination (EPI) card will be enough.

Now let’s move to the main process. Below, I have explained step by step how to complete birth registration online.

So, collect all the required information and carefully follow each step below.

Step 1: Select Address

In the first step of the online birth registration application, you need to provide the applicant’s information.

• First, visit the Birth Registration Application website.
• After visiting the site, tap on the Birth Registration option and then Application for Birth Registration.

• Here, you will see mainly two options: Place of Birth and Permanent Address.
• This means you have to choose from which address you want to collect your birth registration certificate after completing the online application.
• If you want to collect it from the place of birth, select the Place of Birth option.
• If your place of birth and permanent address are the same, you can select any one of them.
• If you want to apply for birth registration from abroad, tick the option that says: “If you want to apply for birth registration at a Bangladesh Embassy, select this option.”
• Then click the Next button.

Step 2: Provide Information of the Person to be Registered

In the second step of the online birth registration application, you have to provide the identity of the person to be registered.

• Write the first and last part of the name in Bangla and English. That means if someone’s name has two or three words, you will write the first one or two words first, and put the remaining word in the last name section.
• After that, you have to provide the date of birth and gender, then the other information.
• Then go to the Birthplace Address section.

• Here you have to provide country, division, district, city corporation or upazila, municipality or union, ward number, post office in Bangla and English, village/area/mohalla in Bangla and English, house and road number.

Note: To register a person’s birth online, the parents’ online birth registration number is mandatory. It is not possible to register a birth without parents’ online birth registration number (17-digit number). If there is no online birth registration, then first do the birth registration online from the nearest office.

• So, after giving this information, press the Next button.

Step 4: Provide Permanent and Present Address

In this step, you have to select the permanent and present address.

• After giving this information, come to the present address section.
• Just above the present address section, you will see an option named “Permanent address and present address are the same.”
• If your permanent address and present address are the same, then put a tick mark on the left side of it. If you tick this option, you do not need to fill in the present address section again.
• After giving all the information, press the Next button.

Step 5: Provide Applicant’s Information and Attachment

In this step, you have to provide the information of the person who is applying for the registration.

• After giving this information, press the Next button to complete the application.
• Here, there will be instructions about what kind of documents you need to upload.
• You only need to upload any two documents.

Many people ask how much money is needed for birth registration. Let me explain it clearly.

FAQs – Birth Certificate BD

Here are some common questions people often ask about birth registration, with simple answers:

How can I register a birth if the child was born abroad?

If a child is born in Bangladesh, you can register the birth easily with the hospital or birth documents.

If a child is born in another country, the birth can still be registered in Bangladesh. You need to show proof of birth from that country and confirm that the child is a Bangladeshi citizen.

Can one person register more than one birth?

No. One person cannot have more than one birth registration. If someone registers more than one birth, it is a punishable offense. The extra birth registration can be canceled.

How can I update an old birth registration number that has less than 17 digits?

If your old birth registration number has less than 17 digits, you need to take your old certificate to your local Birth Registration Office.

Submit it there, and they will help you create a new digital birth registration certificate with a 17-digit number.

What should I do if I cannot find my birth registration information online?

Sometimes, birth registration information cannot be found online. This may happen because of:

• Online system problems
• Issues at the local office
• Having more than one birth registration (which may cause blocking)

If you have only one birth registration and still cannot find your information, wait for some time.
If the problem continues, contact your local Birth Registration Office for help.
