To this effect, the additional Premium PAC was created to lessen the burden and stress of applicants while leveraging technology to enhance passport acquisition process and delivery.
Hon Tijani also hinted on plans to establish similar centres in the Upper West, Central Region as well as the six newly created regions to restrict travels to other regions for passport acquisition.
The Deputy Minister cautioned Ghanaians to desist from fraudulent activities that undermine the integrity of the Ghana passport, adding it is punishable by law.
