NID Card Expiry of Crore Citizens – Fee to Re-NID

NID Card Expiry of Crore Citizens – Fee to Re-NID. It is very important for citizens to have a National Identity Card. NID cards are mandatory in various financial institutions, including banks, passports, and passport renewals.  But soon crores of citizens will have to pay for a second NID by paying NID period and fees. Find out what the validity of the NID is and how to renew it.

Bangladeshi citizens are provided with a free NID card or National Identity Card by the Election Commission as proof of their citizenship.  The period of this NID card is 15 years, and after the expiration of this period, the citizens must pay the specified fee again in order to obtain the card.

NID cards were distributed free of charge to about 80 million citizens before the 2008 national elections. Currently, Bangladesh has 11 crore 91 lakh 51 thousand 440 registered voters. After 2008, 3 crore 80 lakh 51 thousand 440 citizens became voters. NID Smart Cards will expire later for citizens who have taken them.

Smartcards are currently being distributed to citizens on a priority basis to 2008 voters. Only 7 crore 1 lakh smart cards have been distributed so far out of 7 crore 73 lakh printed. Thus, 1 crore 9 lakh citizens will have to take the NID card again.

According to AKM Humayun Kabir, the Director General of NID Division, a citizen’s NID expires after 15 years and he must obtain another NID. The first distribution was free, but citizens must pay for a second one.

Due to the 12th National Assembly elections, NID plans to take up this program early next year, since many citizens’ NIDs expire this year. 

NID holders who took the card before 2008 will have their NID period expire this year, so they must take it again and pay the prescribed fee by paying the second time.

NID cards must be reapplied for after expiration by contacting the upazila election office. Along with the application, the required documents and fee should be submitted to obtain the NID card.

ID cards are valid for 15 years, so citizens who took NID cards before 2008 will expire this year. Thus, they must take a new NID card. NID cards taken after 2008, however, are not the reason for headaches. Due to the fact that their cards are smart cards and have not expired yet.

To avail almost all services in the country, you need a NID card. Bangladesh has signed agreements with 164 institutions, including 46 government institutions, 63 commercial banks, 6 mobile companies, 8 mobile financial companies, 28 financial institutions, 5 insurance institutions, and 4 other institutions.

This data indicates that banks and mobile operators are the most popular. Our daily routines are now filled with the use of NID cards.  Those whose NID has expired may be deprived of various services, but so far, the EC of the Election Commission has not taken any special action.

NID Director General said, “Reissuing NID cards is a huge undertaking, and no plans have been made yet.”. After all factors are considered, a decision will be made.”

The NID cards of 1 crore 9 lakh citizens taken before 2008 have expired, so they will have to pay again for new cards. These days, NID cards are mandatory in almost all subjects, so NID cards must be taken within a certain time frame.
