Repatriation of Dead Body

Documents regarding transportation of dead bodies to Bangladesh:

The Consulate General attests all necessary documents for transportation of dead bodies of expatriate Bangladeshi nationals to Bangladesh for burial/last rituals. The following documents issued by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene are usually required:

• Death Certificate / transcript;
• Certificate that there was no communicable disease;
• Permit to dispose of or transport human remains; and
• Exemplification of birth or death record

In addition, the Bangladesh passport of the deceased should also be sent to the Consulate for cancellation. This service is provided on the same day on an urgent basis without any fees.
