The nationwide recruitment drive for Ghana's internal security agencies officially begins today, Monday, November 17, 2025, at 12 noon as the Centralised Services E-Recruitment Portal (C-SERP) opens for applications.

A public notice has confirmed that the portal will remain active until Friday, 19th December 2025, giving prospective candidates a month to apply to join the Ghana Police Service, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and the Ghana Prisons Service.

Prospective applicants are required to purchase a voucher exclusively through two main channels: via the USSD code *713*03# on all mobile networks or at any GCB Bank branch nationwide.

A key instruction from the notice emphasised that “Applicants must specify which Agency's voucher they intend to buy at both voucher purchase channels above.”

This is to ensure that applications are directed to the correct service from the onset.

The C-SERP system was introduced to streamline the recruitment process into the security services, making it more transparent and accessible.

The notice reiterated the government's commitment to a clean process and directly warned the public about fraudsters.

“There are no middlemen in the recruitment selection process. Be vigilant and do not fall prey to any scheme purporting to offer admission slots at a FEE.

The CSERP process is free, fair and open to all qualified Ghanaians,” the notice stated.

The warning comes amid persistent public concerns over individuals who attempt to exploit desperate job seekers with promises of securing them positions in coveted state institutions for a fee.

Furthermore, the notice cautioned that submitting false information or forged documents could lead to instant disqualification and potential prosecution.

All eligible Ghanaians interested in applying are advised to access the portal via the web address https://cserpgh.com, read all instructions carefully, and ensure they meet the required eligibility criteria before starting their application. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for the next stage of the screening exercise.
