Ghanaians living in the United Kingdom and Ireland will soon be able to register for their Ghanacards at the Ghana Embassy in London, thanks to a new initiative announced by Ghana’s High Commissioner to the UK, Sabah Zita Benson.
The announcement comes after Madam Benson’s recent working visit to the National Identification Authority (NIA) headquarters in Accra, where she met with the NIA’s Executive Secretary, Mr. Yayra Koku, and his team. The purpose of the meeting was to finalize a partnership that would extend the Ghanacard registration process to the Ghanaian diaspora in the UK and Ireland.
According to Madam Benson, the new process has been designed to be simple and accessible. Applicants will need to complete just three steps:
- Fill out an online application form.
- Attend an online interview with the NIA team to verify their Ghanaian nationality.
- Visit the Ghana Embassy in London to complete their biometric capture and receive their Ghanacard.
In addition to the embassy-based registration, Madam Benson revealed that plans are underway to introduce mobile registration services. These mobile units will travel to other cities across the UK and Ireland, making it easier for Ghanaians living outside London to participate in the registration exercise.
“Commencement date shall be announced soon once all arrangements are complete. Thank you, Yayra. I look forward to a successful collaboration between your Authority and our Mission,” Madam Benson expressed after the meeting.
This new initiative is expected to significantly improve access to the Ghanacard, which serves as Ghana’s primary identification document, for Ghanaians living abroad.
