Birth Registration Application Online
According to the Birth and Death Registration Act 2004, birth registration is compulsory within 45 days of birth.
Even if you can't do it within 45 days due to various difficulties, I would suggest that you must register the birth of your child within 5 years.
Otherwise, after 5 years of age, many additional documents are required to register the birth and there is a lot of hassle.

What is the solution to the 'Possible Duplicate' problem when applying for birth registration?
If the 'Possible Duplicate' is in the same district, the Authorized User or the Upazila Nirbahi Officer or the Deputy Director (Local Government) will make the necessary inquiry and settle the matter. If the 'possible duplicate' is not in the same district, then first you have to contact different districts administratively and search or investigate. If no information is found in favor of duplication, the applicant may be well interrogated and the application may be granted on the ground that his / her birth has not been registered elsewhere. In this case, all the documents related to the application must be saved.
When 5 parameters match, 'Possible Duplicate' appears as 100% 'Duplicate'. The parameters are a. Name of the person applying, b. Father's name, c. Mother's name, d. Name of the registration office, and e. Date of birth. Individuals identified as 'duplicates' are usually 0% more likely to be 'duplicates' if their date of birth is 8/10 years or more, or if they do not have a permanent address.
