National Identification Authority Back To Work








National Identification Authority (NIA) is back to work. It is currently undertaking the mass registration and instant issuance of National Identity cards to members of the general public.


The exercise is being carried on at the Adentan Municipality from today, November 5, 2018, and end on Saturday, November 24, 2018.

A total of 50 registration centres is expected to be used for the exercise.

NIA is required to use the polling stations previously used by the Electoral Commission (EC) for the general elections to the extent possible and as far as practicable.
However, because of instant issuance, it is not every polling station previously used by the EC that the NIA will use.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR REGISTRATION

•Anyone who wants to register has a duty to provide basic information, and digital address code is one of them.

•The primary documents required are a birth certificate or a valid passport. However, existing Ghana Card holders can also use it in place of birth certificate or a valid.

VOUCHING FOR PEOPLE

This vouching process must be made on oath before a Commissioner of Oath.

•When a citizen has neither of these documents, the person can be vouched for by one relative who has been registered and issued with the card or by two people who are not relatives but who know the person and have been registered and issued ID cards.

•Aside the compulsory documents, which can be either a birth certificate or passport, registrants, who have all or some of the following documents – driver’s licence, Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) card, National Health Insurance (NHIS) card, and Tax Identification Number (TIN) number – are required to carry them along.

•NIA will make an electronic copy and return them to the owner and NIA would use the electronic versions as part of the person’s identity records purposes of data integration and harmonisation.

"I’m just lying in bed, looking at the ceiling and asking myself what’s the purpose of life? Is it not the peak of heartlessness to knock down a fellow being and speed off? To you, the driver of the WHITE saloon car, who hit Lt. Felix Sormenah at Aburi on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 and bolted; may you never find peace. One of your driver’s mirrors, which got yanked off due to the impact of your recklessness is with the police. Help Please, don’t be an accessory to murder if your friend, husband, brother or uncle came home that night without a driver’s mirror or confessed his deed to you.
