An example photo of a fictional person
Example: a fictional person

Bangladeshi e-passports are applied for online, then you enrol in person at the Embassy in Riyadh or the Consulate General in Jeddah, where the photo, fingerprints and iris are taken. Riyadh takes biometrics by appointment only, booked with the OID number from your form's barcode (Embassy of Bangladesh, Riyadh: e-passport biometric appointment, Embassy of Bangladesh, Riyadh).

Every photo you need, and who takes it

From each office's own website, checked October 2026. Lines marked Check are ones the office doesn't fully settle. Rules change, so confirm before you apply.
