An unofficial rebuild of a Government of Ghana website

How you know this is unofficial

This is a demonstration built on afrigov. It is not run by the National Identification Authority. The real website is nia.gov.gh.

Official websites use .gov.gh. This one does not, and it carries no government seal. Nothing you type here is sent to the authority.

National Identification Authority Ghana Card

Registration at your premises

For institutions, organisations, households and groups of seven or more Ghanaian applicants. Officers come to your office, home or chosen place.

The visit covers first registration, card replacement, updates to personal details and nationality updates.

Before the day

The authority surveys the place to check three things:

What each applicant brings

The same documents as for registering in Ghana: a birth certificate, a valid Ghana passport or proof of acquired citizenship, and the digital address code of their home.

Bank details are not shown here

This is an unofficial rebuild, so it does not repeat the authority's bank account details. Take them only from the authority's own page.

After the day

Cards are printed on the day where possible. If a card cannot be printed, the authority arranges a later date with your contact person. You are asked to complete a satisfaction survey, and the authority sends your contact person a report on the exercise.
