Ghana’s National Identification Authority has shared a way you can reduce the workload at the registrations centres applying for the Ghana Card. Part of the application process for getting the Ghana Card can now be done via an online portal.

This came after people complained about the tedious and old fashioned the mass registration was. The registration centres could register less than 100 persons per day and was extremely slow.

Right now, the NIA has provided a way to reduce the discomfort from joining long queues for long hours before you can get to enter your details into the system.

From the comfort of your home, you can now do the entering of details by yourself to apply for the Ghana Card. You need to head over to register here and get half of the work done.
