Definition

What Is NID and Identity Verification?

NID and identity verification confirms that a job candidate is the real holder of the National ID card they present, by checking that the card, the person, the official record and the candidate’s other documents all show the same identity: name, date of birth, parents’ names, photo and NID number.

A photocopy of an NID shows a number. It does not show that the card is genuine or that it belongs to the person you are about to hire.

The rules

How NID Checks Work in Bangladesh Today

The Election Commission controls access to NID data. Only approved partner organisations can query its server, and in February 2025 the EC said it would tell them only whether submitted details are correct, not share the full record. In 2023, after NID data was found on a Telegram channel, the EC suspended access for some partners.

That is why our check is built on consent: the candidate shares their own official record with us, and we never use NID data from unofficial sources.

What we never do

  • 1Query the Election Commission server without authorisation
  • 2Buy or use NID data from unofficial sources
  • 3Check anyone without their signed consent

How it works

How Our NID Verification Works

Five steps from consent to report. Most of the work is done with the candidate, online.

01

Consent and documents

The candidate signs consent and sends photos of their NID and one more document.

02

Document review

We check that the card details are complete, consistent and show no signs of alteration.

03

Official record

The candidate shows us their own record from the Election Commission's official NID service, and we match it to the card.

04

Face match

On a short live video call or in person, we compare the candidate's face with the NID photo.

05

Written report

You get a clear result for each check, with any discrepancy explained.

FAQs

NID and Identity Verification: FAQs

What is NID and identity verification?

It confirms that a candidate is the real holder of the National ID card they present. We match the card, the person and their official record, and check that their name, date of birth and parents’ names agree across their documents.

How much does NID verification cost in Bangladesh?

BPO Bangladesh charges a flat USD $29 per candidate for NID and identity verification, including the live face match and a written report.

Do you check the Election Commission’s NID database?

No. Only organisations approved by the Election Commission can query the NID server, and since February 2025 the EC returns only whether submitted details are correct. The candidate shows us their own record from the EC’s official NID service, and we match it with the card, their face and their other documents.

What documents do you need?

Clear photos of the front and back of the NID, one more document such as a passport or educational certificate, the candidate’s signed consent and a time for a short video call.

How do you confirm the candidate is the card holder?

On a short live video call, or in person in Dhaka, our reviewer compares the candidate’s face with the NID photo and the photo on their official record, and asks them to confirm their details.

What if the name is spelled differently on different documents?

Bangla names are often written in English in more than one way, such as Hossain and Hossen. We record each version, check that the date of birth and parents’ names agree, and mark the result as a minor variation or a real discrepancy.

What does the identity verification report include?

A result for each check: the document review, the official record match, the face match and the cross-document check, plus any spelling variations or discrepancies and the date of the check.

Can you verify a candidate who has no NID?

Yes. We can use a passport or a birth registration certificate as the main document. We check birth registration numbers on the government’s online verification service and state in the report which document we used.
