The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced postponement of services for the replacement of lost and damaged cars, as well as updates of personal records.
These services were slated to begin today Monday November 29 at Regional and District offices nationwide, but the authority in a statement noted that “many people are yet to pick up their cards.”
“Moreover, as card issuance and continuous registration services are taking place at the said District Offices, there has been a tremendous surge of interest in the citizenry to acquire the Ghana Card driven primarily by the SIM Card registration exercise as the Ghana Card is the requirement."
“To avoid over-crowding at the said offices, which poses a public health risk, NIA has determined it is prudent to postpone the roll-out of any other registration services until it is safe to do so,” the Authority explained.
Many people throng the various district offices of the NIA and even spend the night there in antcipation of registering for their Ghana card. The NIA adds that it would continue to provide an update of personal records and card replacement services to the public.
