The National Identification Authority (NIA) has outlined the requirements for Ghanaians living abroad who wish to register for the Ghana Card.
According to the Authority, applicants must present one of the following original documents at their scheduled appointment at a Ghana Embassy or designated registration centre:
- A valid Ghanaian passport;
- A Birth Certificate issued by the Births and Deaths Registry, Ghana; or
- Evidence of acquired Ghanaian citizenship, such as a Naturalisation or Registration Certificate.
The NIA said applicants who are unable to provide any of the listed documents may still complete the registration process through an Oath of Identity, which will be administered to their guarantor by NIA officials.
The Authority stressed that only original copies of the required documents will be accepted during the registration process.
The announcement forms part of efforts to extend Ghana Card registration services to citizens living outside the country while maintaining the integrity and reliability of the national identification system.
