Registration and certificates are where most questions start. Someone needs a vaccination record for a new job, a student visa or a family trip, opens the official portal after a long gap, and finds that they are unsure which ID they used, whether their doses were recorded, or why the name on the certificate does not quite match the passport. This hub brings together our plain-English explainers on those exact problems.

We want to be clear about what this section is. Surokkha Guide is an independent information website. We do not run the Surokkha platform, we cannot register you, and we cannot download, correct or verify a certificate on your behalf. Every action described in these guides happens on the official portal at surokkha.gov.bd or at a vaccination centre or health office. Our job is to explain the process so that you arrive prepared.

What you will find here

Begin with our step-by-step explainer on surokkha registration. It covers who can register, which identity documents are commonly accepted, why the mobile number and one-time password matter, and what happens after you sign up. If you have already been vaccinated, the certificate download guide explains what you typically need, how to check your details before printing, and what to do when a dose is missing.

Mistakes on a certificate are more common than people expect, especially when names are spelled differently across documents. Our corrections guide explains where the information on a certificate usually comes from and which office is generally responsible for fixing it. Finally, for people who do not have a National ID card, including many students and Bangladeshis living abroad, our passport and birth registration guide explains the alternatives in general terms.

A note on changes

The platform has changed since it launched in 2021, and menus, categories and eligibility rules can change again without notice. We review these guides regularly against the official portal and public sources, and each one shows a "Last reviewed" date. If what you see on the portal differs from our description, trust the portal, and please tell us so we can update the guide. Never share your OTP, NID number or password with anyone who contacts you offering to "help", including people claiming to represent this site.
