Simplified registration process

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.

This system offers flexibility and convenience for Ghanaians abroad.

Key requirements and eligibility

The registration is open to individuals aged six and above, with valid Ghanaian passports and birth certificates.
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.
Dual citizens, who can prove their Ghanaian heritage, are also eligible to apply.

This initiative is in fulfilment of NIA’s mandate to register all Ghanaians at home and abroad.

How to register

To register for the Ghana Card, Ghanaians abroad can follow these steps:
Visit the web portal at www. register.nia.gov.gh and follow the guidelines.
Complete the application form, upload required documents, and submit the application online.
Book a virtual interview for application review.

After the interview, visit the Ghana Mission for biometric capture, using the encrypted QR code received via email.

Vouching process

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.

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