NIA begins issuance of printed backlog of Ghana cards in Accra today

-

The National Identification Authority (NIA) will begin issuing printed backlog cards and conducting new registrations in the Greater Accra Region from today, April 7, 2025.

In a statement, the NIA announced that all District Offices in the region will start issuing cards to Ghanaians who applied between June 2023 and now but have not yet received them.

Applicants in this category are advised to return to the specific District Office where they initially registered to collect their cards.

Additionally, all Ghanaians aged 15 years and above who have not yet registered for the Ghana Card are encouraged to visit any NIA District Office in the Greater Accra Region to complete their registration.

The NIA emphasized that registration and card issuance are free of charge and warned that no fees should be paid for these services.

The Authority also urged the public to report any staff members who demand money for these services.

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