Porichoy | Easy NID Verification Service in Bangladesh


After a long wait the National Identity Card Gateway 'porichoy' (www.porichoy.gov.bd) to check National Identity Card (NID) has been officially launched on Wednesday, 17th July, 2019. The Prime Minister's Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Advisor Sajeeb Wazed Joy inaugurated the ceremony at Agargaon's ICT Tower in Dhaka.

As a chief guest Sajeeb Wazed Joy said on the ceremony, “my dream is that people of the country will no need to go to the government offices to get various services. As a part of this, our successful venture with the private sector partnership we have launched this NID checking service”.


The ICT State Minister of the country Junaid Ahmed Palak said that under the leadership of Prime Minister's Information Technology Advisor Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the government has digitized various types of services for the citizen and the Porichoy is such as a breakthrough. The minister also said, “We were working on 'porichoy' under his leadership for a long time and from today it is open for everyone. Since the formation of the government, we have been working to bring variety of public services to the doorstep of the people. This kind of demonstration is such a service.

The Secretary of ICT Division N M Jiaul Alam, Managing Director of Bangladesh High-Tech Park Authority Hosne Ara Begum, Policy Advisor of A2I program Anir Chowdhury and other senior officials of the ICT Departments were present in the inauguration.

Note that Porichoy is a gateway server which is associated with the national database of Election Commission of Bangladesh. It is an application programming that allows customers of a public or private organization to check their national identity card (NID) instantly. They don’t to wait for 3 to 5 days as before.


In the current process, the companies manually verify the National Identity Card Information by logging in to the Election Commission website. Many organizations do not even scrutinize the NID because they do not have access to the NID database of Election Commission.

But using the newly inaugurated porichoy gateway, it does not require any human to verify national ID. If any company connects with the gateway server through the software, NID identification results will be received automatically.

Those who now need to open a bank account, digital Wallet account, or where NID card require at work, they will be greatly benefited. For them it will be easy and time consuming. Registering your own name will not suffocate for verification. This will immediately detect fake IDs and prevent fraud and make services more secure.

The 'Porichoy gateway' will keep privacy and security for the user and will speed up the working process by reducing the national identity card verification.

Initially the user (company / organization) need to sign up for this service in www.porichoybd.com to test the API. Then the user will receive an email walking through the service within 24 hours to guide you through the process.
