NIA announces updated fees for Ghana Card services

The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced new fees for Ghana Card services at select registration centres, effective February 4, 2025.

First-time registration and record updates will each cost GHC 310.00, while card replacements will be charged at GHC 420.00.

Those updating both records and replacing cards will pay GHC 355.00, and nationality updates will cost GHC 365.00.
