In Bangladesh, driving licenses are mandatory for all drivers, with professional licenses valid for five years and non-professional ones for ten years. Renewal must be completed promptly after expiry to avoid penalties. For non-professional licenses, applicants must first pay the renewal fee of BDT 4,152 online via the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) website and then submit required documents at the designated BRTA circle office. A late fee of BDT 518 per year applies after 15 days of expiry. The renewal process no longer requires fingerprint submission. For professional drivers, renewal includes a practical test, followed by payment of BDT 2,427 within 15 days of expiry or an additional BDT 518 per year thereafter. Applicants must also provide biometric data and necessary documents, including a medical certificate, NID copy, educational certificate, and recent photographs. Once the smart card is ready, applicants are notified by SMS.
