The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced that starting today, April 7, 2025, it will begin issuing printed Ghana Cards and registering new applicants in the Greater Accra Region.

According to a statement from the NIA, all District Offices in the region will be giving out cards to people who registered between June 2023 and now but haven’t received them yet.

People who fall into this group should go back to the same District Office where they first registered to pick up their cards.

Also, all Ghanaians aged 15 and above who haven’t registered for the Ghana Card are encouraged to visit any NIA District Office in the Greater Accra Region to complete their registration.

The NIA stressed that both the registration and the card are completely free. They warned the public not to pay anyone for these services.

The Authority also urged Ghanaians to report any staff member who tries to take money for helping with registration or card collection.

“However, replacement cards and updates to personal records will still attract a fee, as previously stipulated.”
