\n

Accra, Oct 18, GNA-All is set for the full global rollout of registration and issuance of Ghana Card to Ghanaians abroad on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 in Denmark \u2013 Europe.<\/p>\n

This follows the successful pilot registration of Ghanaians living abroad in Canada and the United States of America, the National Identification Authority (NIA).<\/p>\n

Satisfied with the outcome of pilot registration exercise in Northern America \u2013 Ottawa and Toronto in Canada, Washington, D.C., and New York in the United States \u2013 attention is now focused on the global rollout.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the official launch on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, officials from the NIA and its technical partners, Identity Management Systems II Limited (IMS), are training staff of the Ghana Embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark, to serve as registration officers at the Mission.<\/p>\n

Significantly, Mr. John Djomaakwei Quaye, a staff at the Ghana Embassy, became the first Ghanaian to be issued the Ghana Card in Europe.<\/p>\n

Following the training of embassy staff, NIA will engage with Ghanaians living in Denmark and Sweden on Sunday, October 20, 2024, to apprise them of activities being undertaken to ensure the seamless registration as well as providing information on the registration requirements and process.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, October 22, 2024, the NIA will launch the global rollout for Ghana Card registration in Copenhagen, Denmark.<\/p>\n

Madam Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, will participate in the launch virtually.<\/p>\n

The event will be chaired by Ghana\u2019s Ambassador to Denmark- Mrs Sylvia Naa Adaawa Annoh.<\/p>\n

From Denmark, NIA will move the registration train to Berlin, Amsterdam, Rome, Brussels and Paris for this first phase.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The NIA has simplified the Ghana Card registration process for citizens abroad, allowing applicants to start the registration process online by filling registration forms, paying the necessary fees, and booking enrollment appointments from the comfort of their homes, after which applicants visit the Ghanaian mission for in-person biometric capture.<\/p>\n

This system offers flexibility and convenience for Ghanaians abroad.<\/p>\n

The registration is open to individuals aged six and above, with valid Ghanaian passports and birth certificates.<\/p>\n

Applicants without these documents can complete the process using a vouching system.
However, individuals who have renounced their Ghanaian citizenship or non-Ghanaian spouses are not eligible for the card.<\/p>\n

Dual citizens, who can prove their Ghanaian heritage, are also eligible to apply.<\/p>\n

This initiative is in fulfillment of NIA\u2019s mandate to register all Ghanaians at home and abroad.<\/p>\n

To register for the Ghana Card, Ghanaians abroad can follow these steps: by visiting the web portal at www. register.nia.gov.gh and follow the guidelines by completing the application form, uploading required documents, and submitting the application online.<\/p>\n

They will then book a virtual interview for application review.<\/p>\n

After the interview, visit the Ghana Mission for biometric capture, using the encrypted QR code received via email.<\/p>\n

For applicants lacking a valid passport or birth certificate, the vouching process allows two non-relatives or a relative with a Ghana Card to vouch for them.<\/p>\n

This process is completed through a virtual interview with the Commissioner for Oaths and the voucher.
