BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia received her renewed passport on Tuesday night.
Shairul Kabir Khan, a member of the BNP's media cell, on Wednesday said, "Last night (Tuesday), personal secretary of the BNP chairperson, ABM Abdus Sattar, received the passport on her behalf."
All procedures for the renewal of her Machine-Readable Passport (MRP) were completed on Tuesday.
Khaleda Zia is currently receiving treatment at the Evercare Hospital in the capital.
Former prime minister Khaleda Zia, who was under house arrest for the last five years, was released on Tuesday after the president pardoned her punishments, a day after Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country in the face of a people's uprising.
This is the first time since independence that the president has granted clemency to any former prime minister, according to senior Supreme Court lawyer.
According to a home ministry circular issued on Tuesday, President Mohammed Shahabuddin, exercising his power under Article 49 of the constitution, granted Khaleda Zia clemency in two cases based on the law ministry's recommendation and ordered her release.
The development came after the president and chiefs of armed forces agreed to on the decision during a meeting at the Bangabhaban on Monday, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told reporters.
Khaleda Zia on February 8, 2018, was sent to the Old Dhaka Jail after a special court in Dhaka sentenced her to five years' imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case. The High Court later doubled her five-year jail term.
In the same year, the same special court in Dhaka sentenced Khaleda to seven years in jail in the Zia Charitable Trust graft case.
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the government temporarily freed Khaleda from jail through an executive order suspending her sentence on March 25, 2020, with the condition that she stay in her Gulshan house and not leave the country.
She has long been battling various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, and issues related to the kidneys, lungs, heart, and eyes.
Although the government has extended the period of her conditional release on multiple occasions, it has denied BNP's every call to take her abroad for advanced treatment.s
