Real reviews of the Bangladesh Consulate General in Los Angeles

The consulate’s Google listing averages 3.9 stars from 259 reviews. Recent reviewers praise named staff and a fast NVR or e-passport; the low ratings, several of them from earlier years, are about phones and emails that go unanswered.

It was his first visit to the new building, a large office block near the Farmers Market and The Grove. The counter staff were friendly, knew the passport forms and helped them through quickly (June 2026).

Rehool A.

He applied for his e-passport on 30 December 2025 with regular delivery and found it in his mailbox at home on 17 January 2026.

Samiul H.

He went in for a power of attorney in April 2026. The staff kept his papers and his money order and took his fingerprints, but gave him no receipt, and the promised call within a day or two did not come.
