NIA clarifies Ghana Card issuance fees at premium centres

The National Identification Authority (NIA) has reminded Ghanaians that the first issuance of the Ghana Card remains free at its 276 Operational District Offices nationwide.

However, the NIA has introduced fees for first-time issuance at its Premium Centres, in line with parliamentary approval from 2023.

The new structure includes GH₵310.00 for first issuance, GH₵125.00 for card replacement, and GH₵420.00 for record updates with card replacement.

Nationality updates cost GH₵70.00, while general record updates remain free at district offices but cost GH₵310.00 at Premium Centres.

The move aims to enhance service delivery while ensuring transparency in the Ghana Card registration process.
