Revised Ghana Card fees approved by Parliament, not unilaterally introduced – NIA
The National Identification Authority (NIA) has clarified that the revised fees for Ghana Card registration and related services were approved by Parliament and were not introduced unilaterally by the Authority.
The Authority said other charges include GH¢200 for card replacement, while record updates remain free, with separate approved fees applying to services such as card renewal and nationality updates.
The NIA said the revised charges took effect on February 2, 2026, and therefore predated the recent public discussion surrounding the cost of Ghana Card services.
