Scam alert

Fraudsters pose as NIA officials to take money from people applying for a Ghana Card. Here is how to tell, and what to do.

Fees are paid to the bank, never to a person

Anyone who asks you for cash, or for payment to a personal mobile money number, is not acting for the authority.

At a district office a first Ghana Card is free if you are under 25, and GH₵30 if you are 25 or over.
Premium Centres charge more. Every fee is set by law and published.
Fees are paid at a CalBank branch, with the CalBank app, by dialling *771#, or on another approved payment platform.
No official takes payment in cash or to a personal mobile money number.
