Starting from May 1, 2024, the National Identification Authority (NIA) has implemented updated rates for services associated with obtaining the Ghana Card.

This announcement coincides with May Day (Workers Day), designated as a Statutory Public Holiday, marking the commencement of the new rates from May 2.

The adjustment in rates follows the implementation of the Fees and Charges (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations, 2023 (L.I. 2481), which was passed by Parliament in February 2024.

This information was conveyed through a public notice posted on the NIA's Facebook page.

The revised rates will apply to three main service areas: First Time Registration, Replacement of Cards, and Personal Information Update Service.

It's important to note that all charges originally listed in US dollars will be converted to Ghana cedis for payment purposes.
