The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced plans to open passport application centers in all 16 regions of Ghana. "Our plan now is to regionalise and make sure we have passport application centers in all the 16 regions of Ghana. "We do not currently have plans to have district offices," he stated while addressing Parliament on Thursday, March 12.
Ablakwa emphasized that ongoing reforms, including 24-hour operations, reduced waiting periods, and courier services for passport delivery, will ensure efficiency without the need for district offices. "We take the view that the reforms we are carrying out, the delivery, the 24-hour operations, reducing the waiting period and all of that, should suffice once you have regional offices and the courier service will make sure that your passport is delivered to you wherever you are in the region," he added.
This initiative aims to enhance accessibility and efficiency in the passport application process, reducing the burden on applicants who previously had to travel long distances for services.
