Dhaka, Sept 22, 2025: The Election Commission (EC) has instructed all officials to settle any category of National Identity Card (NID) correction applications within 45 days.
Md Saiful Islam, Director (Operations) of the EC’s National Identity Registration Wing, confirmed the directive and said it has already been circulated to field-level offices.
“No NID correction application should remain pending beyond 45 days. In most cases, we are resolving them earlier,” he said, adding that older applications are also being prioritized.
The decision was taken at the EC’s monthly coordination meeting held earlier this month, he added.
