Ghana Card: List of All Registration Centres & NIA Offices you can Apply at
The National Identification Authority has opened up offices for all those who don’t have the Ghana Card yet and wish to apply.
Ghanaians who wish to register for the Ghana card may do so at selected offices of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Registrar General Department (RGD) where NIA provides registration services.
The GRA offices are also being used since the Ghana Card is now merged with TIN.
Ghanaians who registered for the card within the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDA) where the above GRA and RGD offices are located may visit the offices for their cards.
Ghanaians whose cards are damaged or missing may have them replaced when NIA’s Regional and District offices are reopened for business.
NIA will duly notify the public when the offices are reopened. Persons whose cards are missing are required to report the loss to the nearest Police Station and obtain police extract to that effect which they must present to the NIA for their cards to be replaced. Replacement of a card attracts a statutory fee of GHS 30.
Also, starting from Monday, 9th August 2021, applicants who registered for the Ghana card within the Ayawaso West Wuogon during the mass registration exercise but have not yet received their cards may visit the NIA
Headquarters in Accra for their cards. The cards will be issued from Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
In this article, we will give you the locations of all the offices of the NIA where you can go to apply for the Ghana Card. The list is arranged by region.
