Qualified persons to vouch for Ghana Card applications (vouch for an applicant)

Ghana Card is one of the hotcake cards in Ghana after its introduction. It helps holders to credit bank accounts, register SIM cards, and Mobile Money account registration among others. However, getting the Ghana Card done has become a bit tedious for applicants/citizens.

According to the National Identification Authority (NIA), a section or group of people can help (vouch) applicants who do not have the basic requirements for acquiring the Ghana Card.

The mandatory documents to be presented for registration are a genuine Birth Certificate, a valid Ghanaian Passport, or a Certificate of Acquired Citizenship/ Naturalization, as may be necessary and appropriate.
