Most people who haven’t registered for the Ghana Card always ask this question, “Can the Ghana Card be registered Online”? The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced that every Ghanaian who is eager to register for the Ghana Card can now register Online without going through any hassle.
In a post sighted by TheGhanaTech.com, the National Identification Authority (NIA) developed this online portal to allow those people who have really struggled for the registration due to long queues and also to avoid overcrowding at various offices. In an interview made by TheGhanaTech.com, most people are saying that the online registration platform for the Ghana Card is very simple and easy to use.
Some people still don’t see the importance of the card. The Ghana Card makes it easy to prove your identity or citizenship. The card was been developed so that in a few years to come, we can use the Ghana Card to access social services such as Health, Education, Communications, Insurance, banking etc.
After you are done with the online registration, you have to schedule a time so that you can go to the NIA office for the final registration. Someone will ask “Why should I go to the NIA office for the final registration”? The National Identification Authority (NIA) in post sighted by TheGhanaTech.com says that the Final registration will always be at the NIA office for security reasons. The reason for you to go to the office for the final process is to use a biometric process whereby all your ten (10) fingers will be scanned onto the card and also a picture will be taken for the card.
