New Rules for Applying for a Birth Registration
To complete the application, visit the official Birth and Death Registration government website at https://bdris.gov.bd/br/application and provide the individual’s basic details, including name, date of birth, gender, and address.
Names must be entered in both Bengali and English. The new birth registration application is divided into simple steps to make the process easier, allowing parents to register their child’s birth online with ease.
Rule 1: Go to the Birth and Death Registration Site
Visit the Bangladesh Birth and Death Registration website to apply for birth registration. Use the following link to access the new application form: https://bdris.gov.bd/br/application. After entering the website, select the address under which you wish to register the birth.
For registration, you may choose the birthplace address, permanent address, or current address. Please select the address from which you intend to collect the birth registration certificate. Applicants living outside Bangladesh may also apply through the relevant embassy.
Rule 2: Provision of information on registered persons
A birth registration application requires the applicant to provide several personal details through a comprehensive form. The names of the registered individual must be entered in both Bengali and English, including first and last names. The date of birth should be entered in the format (dd-mm-yyyy).
When selecting the date of birth, a calendar will appear, allowing you to choose the year and month. A notice will be displayed while entering the birth date, informing you of the required documents based on age. Applicants must also select the number of children in the family, specify their gender, and provide the address of the place of birth.
Your address must include the division, district, upazila, union, village name, and para or mohalla up to your place of residence. If you live in a village and do not know your house number, enter a dash (–). After completing the form accurately, click the “Next” button.
Rule 3: Provide Parent Information
Online birth registration requires parents to submit specific details. The father’s online birth registration number (if available) must be entered using capital letters in both Bengali and English.
Additionally, the father’s national ID card number may be provided but is optional. The mother’s name must also be entered in both Bengali and English in the designated mother’s information section.
Please enter the mother’s 17-digit online birth registration number (if available) along with the ID card number. Currently, parents are not required to have their own births registered online. After completing the parent’s information, click the Next button to continue the application process.
Rule 4: Please Provide Your Current and Permanent Addresses
The application form requires the address of the place of birth. You can enter both your present and permanent address by selecting “none,” as shown in the image above. After doing so, a new address field will appear in the form.
If the address provided at the beginning is a permanent address, you should select the same place of birth address as shown in picture no. 2.
If the permanent address and the present address are the same, the system will automatically display both addresses as identical, as shown in the third picture. If the addresses are different, enter the address details separately by country, division, district, upazila, and union or municipal council.
Rule 5: Provide Applicant Information
The applicant must provide all required information for birth registration. A child’s birth is typically registered by the father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, great-grandparent, or legal guardian.
Parents usually apply for a child’s birth registration, though individuals may also apply for their own registration by selecting “Self.” Applicants can choose options such as “Father,” “Mother,” “Grandfather,” “Grandmother,” and others, depending on their role.
The applicant must provide an active mobile phone number, as application updates will be sent via text message. Providing an email address is optional.
Rule 6: Upload the Documents
Uploading documents is the final step of the application process. When registering a minor child, applicants must upload a scanned copy of the vaccination card or a land or house tax receipt. Multiple files can be uploaded if needed, with each file not exceeding 100 kb. Additional documents may be added by clicking the Add button.
Rule 7: Print the application form
After completing the online birth registration, you may print the application form, though printing is not mandatory. Make sure to note your application number. You must collect your birth registration certificate within 15 days from the relevant union council or municipality.
Submitting a printed copy of the application at the Registrar’s office, or providing the officer with your application number, will allow your birth registration certificate to be verified and issued.
