-
Open the official website
Go directly to everify.bdris.gov.bd, or from bdris.gov.bd open the top menu and click "Birth Registration" → "Birth Registration Information Search". This is the only official site for birth and death verification.
-
Enter the birth registration number
In the first field (Birth Registration Number), type your 17-digit number with no spaces or dashes.
-
Enter the date of birth
In the second field (Date of Birth), use the YYYY-MM-DD format — year first, then month, then day. For example, 15 March 2004 becomes 2004-03-15.

Solve the CAPTCHA sum
A simple addition (such as 5 + 3) appears. Type the correct answer in the "The answer is" box. This just confirms you are a real user, not a bot.

Click Search
If everything is correct, click Search. The record — name, parents’ names, and address — appears on screen. If nothing shows, see the Troubleshooting section below.

How to download and print the verified copy
Once your record appears, you can save or print it as a PDF from the same page. Note that this is proof of verification, not a certified copy — for a certified copy you must apply at your local Union/City office.
On a computer
- While the result page is open, press Ctrl + P on your keyboard.
- In the print window, choose "Save as PDF" as the destination.
- Click Save to store the file on your computer.
On mobile
- In Chrome, tap the three-dot (⋮) menu in the top-right corner of the result page.
- Choose "Share" or "Print".
- Select "Save as PDF" as the printer and save the file to your phone.
Make sure the name, date, and number are clearly readable in the PDF. You can also take a screenshot as backup.
Troubleshooting common problems
Here are the issues people hit most often during verification, and how to fix each one.
| Problem | Why it happens | How to fix it |
|---|---|---|
| No Record Found — "No data found with this given UBRN" | The record is not digitized online yet, or there is a small mistake in the number or the date of birth. | Re-check the number and the date of birth (it must be YYYY-MM-DD). If the certificate is handwritten or has a 16-digit number, get it digitized at your local registration office first. |
| Can’t find it by name or NID | Online search only works with the 17-digit number plus date of birth — there is no lookup by name, National ID (NID), or passport. | If you don’t know the number, collect the 17-digit number from the office where the registration was made, then verify. |
| Page not loading / Request Timeout | Heavy server load or a slow connection. | Try again after a while, refresh the browser, or verify during off-peak hours (late night). |
| Wrong CAPTCHA answer | The sum was mistyped or the CAPTCHA changed. | Tap the refresh icon for a new CAPTCHA and carefully enter the correct sum. |
| Old / handwritten certificate will not verify | The old certificate is not in the digital database. | Visit your Union Parishad, Municipality, or City Corporation office to digitize the record and convert it to a 17-digit number. |
16 digits to 17 digits: number conversion & digitization
Online verification needs a 17-digit digital birth registration number. Many older certificates still carry a 16-digit or 13-digit number, which cannot be checked online.
- What the 17 digits mean: the first 4 digits are the birth year, followed by area codes and a personal serial number, totalling 17 digits.
- If you have 16 digits: usually an extra zero (0) is added after the birth year to make 17 digits. Do not guess the digits yourself — confirm the correct digital number with your registration office.
- If it is not digitized: get the record added to the online database through your Union Parishad / Municipality / City Corporation or via bdris.gov.bd. Only then can it be verified online.
Why verifying your birth certificate matters
A wrong or non-digital birth registration can block many government tasks later, so it is best to verify early.
- School and college admission and education board registration
- Applying for a passport
- National ID (NID) and voter registration
- Driving licence and marriage registration
- Government allowances, bank accounts, and other citizen services
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the official birth certificate verification website?
The official government site is everify.bdris.gov.bd — the only official portal for birth and death verification.
Is checking a birth certificate free?
Yes. Online birth certificate verification is completely free. Fees only apply to a new application, correction, or certified copy.
Can I verify with a name, NID, or passport?
No. You must have both the 17-digit number and the date of birth. The official system has no search by name, National ID (NID), or passport.
Can I verify with only the date of birth?
No. The date of birth alone is not enough — you also need the 17-digit number.
How do I check a birth certificate on a mobile phone?
Open everify.bdris.gov.bd in any phone browser (like Chrome), enter the 17-digit number and date of birth, solve the CAPTCHA, and tap Search. No separate app is needed.
Do I need an app to verify?
No. You do not need to download any app. Using the official website, everify.bdris.gov.bd, in your browser is enough and safest.
What date format should I use?
Enter the date of birth in YYYY-MM-DD format — year, month, then day. For example, 2005-08-21.
What should I do if it shows "No Record Found"?
First re-check the number and date of birth. If they are correct but no record appears, the certificate is likely not digitized yet — contact your local registration office.
Can I verify with an old 16-digit number?
No. Online verification requires the 17-digit digital number. A 16-digit or 13-digit certificate must first be digitized and converted to 17 digits.
What if I lost my birth registration number?
You can recover it by applying at the office where the registration was originally made (Union Parishad / Municipality / City Corporation).
How do I download the verified copy?
On the result page, press Ctrl + P and choose "Save as PDF". On mobile, use Print/Share from the three-dot menu.
After a correction, how long until it updates online?
Once a correction is approved, it usually takes a few working days to appear in the database. Verify again afterwards to confirm.
Is this an official government website?
No. This is an independent informational guide that helps you verify correctly on the official BDRIS portal. The actual verification happens on the government site.
Are third-party apps safe?
You do not need any app to verify. For the safety of your personal data, use only the official website, everify.bdris.gov.bd.
