A citizens' database against bribery
17,326 bribery reports filed by citizens — search, filter, and switch between list and grid.
Requested unmarried certificate from DC office with police verification then foreign ministry stamp and apostilles. According to their website it should cost 700taka but my father ended up paying 50000 taka because they kept asking for further paperwork, saying it’ll take months unless he pays up and tried to extort more for every single step of the process. I live abroad and I need this to get legally married in my country of residence but the Bangladeshi officials have made it a nightmare of a process that took 5 months. Meanwhile some people I know who have connections have had theirs done within less than a month.
You are pushed towards payment through non-performance of actual service, repeatedly claiming missing files or incorrect info despite getting everything 100%. Bribes are collected by Bangladesh Ansar personnel observing the line.
Paid the brive through broker for driving license, did not need to sit for exam and got the license. It was emergency for me. Initially I tried the right way, but did not get any cooperation.
I went to EC office several time but always said to come again latter but when I paid 500 BDT to the boy standing in front of the office. Magically he collected my ID within 10 minutes and gave it to me without any documentation.
All my documents are legit and according to the requirement. But still the passport officers collectively created a system where they don't process files without the marking of the "dalal" ( Ansari, Shop keepers, and others). I reported to the police present at the Dhaka west passport office. The police was unable to help me as he said it is regulated by a powerful syndicate.
I faced various harassment while trying to complete the registration process myself. Eventually, a person outside the office demanded BDT 3,000, saying that the work would be completed if I paid. Having no other option, I was forced to pay the amount. I request that the matter be investigated and appropriate action be taken.

I just opened my helmet on side of road. The police gave me mamla. And after requesting he said he’d reduce to half. But actually he took the damn money
Taken for renewal and that's normal policies

I had to pay for police verification before joining a job
Had to pay to get marriage certificate
I was very ill that's why I need to go to India. I didn't have any passport so I went to passport office meherpur.. at first we tried to have our passport in a regular way but they find different irregularities in our passport application form... Then after sometimes a security guard came and we understood that if we give them bribe then they will easily do the process for us. As expected we gave them money and our passport process was easy. We had to do it because my father was also ill and didn't feel well that day.
I had to give an extra 5k to get a driving licence. It is the unwritten system there. Whether you can drive or not does not matter. Most people cannot drive but they get licences by bribing.
সব ঠিক থাকার পরেও আন্দাজি ভুলভাল ধরা শুরু করতেছিলো। পরে ১০০০টাকা দিয়ে সমাধান করতে হইসে
My mother’s bangla name was slightly different than English one. But in my all academics the name is same. The officer denied to take my documents but afterwards I got a middleman who took 5000tk I bargained to 3500tk and paid it. And my work is done. Ironically the same officer took my documents this time 😂 Whatever, this system
I write letters to my pen friends around the world. Very cute with stickers, design letter. We add charms, tea bags with the letter. So they basically measure the letter/ parcel it's veryyy light. So usually 100-120 taka. And then directly ask for some gift Cha- pani khawar. We tried to refuse but then they would tear my letter or even would not send. Previously one of my letter wasn't sent to my pen friend in Spain. She never received. So however we paid 20 taka for that and left. It was something I faced first time so I was veryyy surprised even a educated person who sits in the cash can take just 20 taka as a bribe.
Took my money didnt do the job asked for another 35k to hand me over my papers.
It's so normal nowadays that without giving bribe or contracting broker, even good driver can not get licence. That's why i had to hire a broker and get licence.
