The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced that it will commence the issuance of Ghana Cards to children aged 6 to 14 years starting Monday, October 6, 2025.

The initial phase of the exercise will take place in 56 districts nationwide and will cover children who have already completed their registration.

The cards will be distributed at the same schools where the registration took place.

According to the NIA, each child must be physically present and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during the collection process.

Parents or guardians are required to present the registration receipt (Form A) that was issued on the day of registration.

The Authority assured the public that all backlogs of unprinted Ghana Cards have been cleared, and the remaining districts will be covered in the days ahead.

Further announcements will be made soon regarding new registration dates for children within this age bracket.

The NIA has appealed to all parents and guardians to cooperate fully to ensure a smooth and efficient card issuance exercise across the country.
