<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''A Bangladeshi passport''' is a type of e-passport that is ICAO-compliant, machine-readable and biometric. It is issued by the Immigration and Passport Directorate of the Ministry of Home Affairs to eligible Bangladeshi citizens for international travel. Bangladesh is the first South Asian country to offer e-passports to all eligible citizens.<br />
<br />
The e-passport contains an electronic microprocessor chip, which stores the passport holder's demographic and biometric information, including a ten-finger fingerprint, iris scan, face colour photograph and digital signature. The e-passport incorporates thirty-one security features, including holographic images embossed on a thin membrane layer that changes colour under light and appears moving.<br />
<br />
The e-passport booklet is produced, printed and issued by the Immigration and Passport Directorate of the Ministry of Home Affairs. It is valid for five or ten years, depending on the applicant's age. However, a Bangladeshi passport cannot be used for travel to [[Israel]].<br />
<br />
The passport is issued to eligible Bangladeshi citizens by birth or direct citizenship through the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh or its foreign diplomatic missions.<br />
<br />
