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.
