The National Identification Authority (NIA) has opened more registration centres for issuing Ghana Cards, beginning today February 21, 2022, and will run till March 31, 2022 thus six weeks.
This was made known in a press statement signed and issued by the acting Head of Corporate Affairs of the NIA, Abudu Abdul-Ganiyu, on Friday.
The new move, the statement explained, is an intervention in response to the growing numbers of Ghanaians thronging NIA’s offices nationwide to register for the Ghana Card, particularly as the deadline for Sim-Card re-registration approaches.
Locations
Venues for the new registration will be the Accra Sports Stadium, El-wak Sports Stadium (Premium Centre) in Accra, Kumasi Sports Stadium, Ghana National Fire Service (Regional Office) in Cape Coast and the Tamale Sports Stadium.
Apart from the El-wak Sports Stadium in Accra, which will operate as a Premium Centre, registration at all the other locations is free.
These registration points will be open from 8:00 am to 5: 00 pm, Monday to Friday, and will operate alongside NIA’s 276 district and 16 regional offices, and the Premium Registration Centre at the Headquarters.
“The general public is reminded that household and institutional registration remain open,” it added.
Meanwhile, the statement reminded persons who had already registered but had not received their cards to contact their respective district offices to be issued with their cards. It also cautioned them not attempt to register again as this “constitutes an offence punishable by law”.
