PRESS RELEASE
COMMENCEMENT OF MASS REGISTRATION OF GHANAIANS FOR
THE GHANA CARD
The National Identification Authority (NIA) regrets to inform the general
public especially the selected institutions scheduled to be registered from
today Monday 28th May, 2018 to Friday 8th June, 2018 about its inability to
roll-out today as planned.
The National Identification System has suffered a technical hitch which has
affected the NIA’s ability to commence roll-out as scheduled. Details of the
technical difficulties will be communicated to the general public in due
course.
Our technical team is working fervently to resolve the issue for registration
to begin. Under the circumstance registration was suspended today until
the problem is completely resolved.
The NIA unreservedly apologises to the personnel of the following
institutions who were to begin registration this morning at 7:00am for the
inconvenience they have had to endure:
• Jubilee House
• Judicial Service
• Ministry of Defence
• National Security
• BNI
• MOFARI (Research Dept)
• Ghana Police Service
• Ghana Immigration Service
• Ghana Prison Service
• Ghana National Fire Service.
The NIA wishes to assure these institutions that every effort would be made
to cover any lost time by deploying enough registration officials and
equipment to undertake the exercise. Once again, we sincerely apologise
for the inconveniences caused. Thank you
