The new centres will commence registration from tomorrow Tuesday 14th May 2019 and end on the Saturday 25th May 2019, same day as all other registration centres in the Accra West area. As indicated above, the new registration centres (115) will be set up in locations within a one-kilometer radius of the relocated centres.

Applicants who are yet to receive their Ghana Card and reside in communities where registration centres have been relocated will receive text messages and/or phone calls directing them to designated centres within their respective communities to collect their Cards.

The NIA would also like to apologize to some sections of the general public who went to our registration centres today Monday 13th May 2019 and were unable to register due to the absence of the registration officials.This was due to an internal miscommunication which affected some registration centres. We wish to assure members of the general public that all affected registration centres will be operational tomorrow Tuesday 14th May 2019.

We entreat the general public to continue registering for their Ghana Cards and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
