Bangladeshi expatriates in Japan can now access National Identity (NID) services directly at the Bangladesh Embassy in Tokyo, making it easier to obtain essential government services from abroad. The initiative was formally inaugurated by Election Commission Senior Secretary Akhtar Ahmed, who acknowledged that many expatriates had faced long-standing difficulties due to the lack of NIDs. “With this service, Bangladeshis in Japan can now complete NID-related procedures at the embassy itself,” he said. He also noted that the Election Commission is working to enable expatriates to cast votes by mail in future national elections. Bangladesh’s Ambassador to Japan, Md. Daud Ali, emphasized that the introduction of NID services had been a long-standing demand of expatriates. “This marks the fulfillment of that demand,” he said.
