The Bangladesh National Identity Card (NID) is issued to citizens by the Bangladesh Election Commission through its National Identity Registration Wing. Paper-based laminated cards were first issued in 2006 and replaced by Smart NID cards from 2016. The NID is required for passports, driving licences, SIM registration, and bank accounts, and can be verified against the Election Commission register through the government Porichoy service.

A verified result and audit record flow into your Zenoo case.
Chain these into one Zenoo Studio flow so a single journey handles identity, screening, and fraud.
Bangladesh NID is one scheme in Zenoo's global coverage. Add a neighbouring register or a document fallback without changing your integration.
You match the NID number and date of birth against the Bangladesh Election Commission register. A verification check confirms the identity and can return the person’s name, parents’ names, date of birth, address, and register photo.
Smart NID cards use a 10-digit number where the last digit is a checksum. Older cards carry a 17-digit number, and legacy 13-digit numbers become 17 digits when the year of birth is added at the front.
Yes. The NID is compulsory for citizens and is required to obtain a passport, driving licence, SIM card, bank account, and many other services.
It runs as a pre-built connector. The person provides their NID number and a selfie, or you pass known data in, and Zenoo matches the details against the Election Commission register and returns a verified result with a full audit trail.
