Shortage of material cause delay in issuing Civil IDs

Thursday, December 12, 2019

The shortage of materials to produce Civil ID card by the company in charge of import is causing delay in the issuance of Civil IDs.

According to reports, the issuance of ID cards now takes 7 to 10 days while it was earlier accomplished within 48 hours.

Meanwhile, local media quoting PACI denied rumors, which said the system was hacked, affirming there’s no interruption of service and that the system is working normal aside from delay in the issuance of civil IDs.

Xpat Monday, December 16, 2019 How many working days now taking to get the new civil id. Is it taking more than 7 days?............
saro Sunday, December 15, 2019 Due to shortage of CID cards, all travels plans shattered. For emergency card issue, catch Bengali in PACI. It is better to pay some bakshish rather than cancellation of tickets and shattering travel plans.
Murali Sunday, December 15, 2019 @Aditya You can meet the PACI Civil ID Manager in the morning session only, he is NOT available in the afternoon session. You can just walk in to his office along with the documents mentioned earlier. His office is in the extreme left hand side in the Civil ID Enquiry counters Hall. His designation is displayed in English outside his office, as HEAD OF CIVIL ID ISSUANCE etc. Otherwise ask one of the Bangla tea boys and they can guide you.
Mary Prinson Sunday, December 15, 2019 I want to travel on Thursday, didn,t get the civil id yet applied on 11th. Can any one give an advice to get it faster.
Aditya Saturday, December 14, 2019 @Murali How to meet Paci manager (What time, and how to approach)? Can you please explain little.. Thanks!
Murali Friday, December 13, 2019 @Expat In fact the guy doesn''t really see the documents. But you may carry copies of the flight ticket, old Civil ID, 5kd payment proof for new Civil ID. He will not take these documents, but will return them back to you. Also carry the ORIGINAL Civil IDs of the card holder and the sponsor, as he will ask them for fast tracking.
Expat Friday, December 13, 2019 @Murali...can you please tell me, what documents you submitted in addition to the airline ticket.

Expat Thursday, December 12, 2019 Dear, Can someone explain the procedure to get the required paper from liberation town.And how many days its take to get it.
Murali Thursday, December 12, 2019 Who are in urgent need to travel and their Civil IDs are not ready yet, can go to the Manager in PACI Head Office, with their flight details copy and request him to fast track the card issuance. He will do it through his computer himself (at times depends on his mood as well and may not entertain your request). I did the above for my daughter yesterday and received her civil ID in 4 hours time.
