  • On the appointed date keep the attested photocopy of your current registration card or the blue book, tax token, acknowledgment slip, money receipt with you; and take your vehicle there to receive the RFID Number Plate and Smart registration Card.

The return massage will instruct you the rest.

The current fees for the Digital Registration Certificate (Smart Card) is BDT 2200.00 And for Retro-Reflective RFID Number Plate is BDT 540.00 where all the charges applicable for 15% of VAT.
