NCA announces new dealine for sim cards registration
National Communications Authority (NCA)
The National Communications Authority (NCA) has announced that there will be no extension of the deadline, and the registration process will end on May 31st, 2023. Failure to register your SIM card before the deadline may result in the deactivation of your phone number.
The SIM card registration exercise is a government initiative aimed at curbing crime and enhancing national security. The registration process involves providing personal identification details such as name, date of birth, address, and a valid national identification card to the network operator for verification. This information is then stored in a secure database to aid in the tracking of criminal activities and preventing the use of unregistered SIM cards to commit crimes.
The NCA has urged all Ghanaians who have not yet registered their SIM cards to do so before the deadline. The registration exercise is free, and it can be done at any authorized registration center of your network operator. The NCA has also advised Ghanaians to report any fraudulent activities during the registration process to the relevant authorities.

The NCA has assured Ghanaians that all personal information collected during the registration process will be treated with confidentiality and used only for the purpose for which it was collected.
