How the passport number format works
- Format
- 1-2 letters followed by 7-8 digits (machine-readable and e-passport forms)
- Example
- AB1234567
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the passport was actually issued, is unexpired, or is currently valid
- No official government specification of the format was directly located during research — this reflects the widely-corroborated public convention
- Validation runs entirely in your browser — the number you enter is never transmitted or stored
^[A-Z]{1,2}[0-9]{7,8}$A Bangladeshi passport number is 1 or 2 letters, generally denoting the issuing office, followed by 7 or 8 digits, e.g. AB1234567, issued by the Department of Immigration & Passports (DIP). As with a few other countries in this list, no single official government document spelling out the exact format was directly located during research, so this checker deliberately covers the documented range rather than committing to one falsely precise pattern.
What this checker verifies
This tool confirms the input is 1 or 2 letters followed by 7 or 8 digits, which is intentionally broad — built to match the widely-corroborated public convention rather than a stricter shape no single source fully backs.
What a pass doesn’t confirm
Because this format rests on public convention rather than a located official specification, and covers a range of letter and digit counts, a pass here confirms less precision than most other countries in this family. No check digit is documented either way. A pass doesn’t confirm the DIP actually issued that number, that the passport is unexpired, or that it belongs to a real holder, and nothing you type is decoded or stored.
Scope: format-only validation, running entirely in your browser — and intentionally permissive given the inconsistent public documentation.

passport number FAQ
What does a Bangladeshi passport number look like?
1 or 2 letters denoting the issuing office, followed by 7 or 8 digits, e.g. AB1234567, issued by Bangladesh's Department of Immigration & Passports (DIP).
Is this format based on an official government specification?
No single official specification was directly located during research. This checker reflects the widely-corroborated public convention and intentionally covers a range — 1 or 2 letters, 7 or 8 digits — rather than one overly precise pattern.
Does a valid format confirm the passport is real?
No. It only checks the general shape. Confirming the passport was actually issued or is currently valid requires the DIP's own records.
