Ghanaians who could not be captured for the Ghana card in the National Identification Authority’s mass registration exercise nationwide will have to pay GH¢100 if they want to be registered at home or in their offices, the Executive Secretary, Prof Ken Attafuah has said.

There is also a “premium” service delivery package that goes for GH¢250.

“Organisations can write to the NIA through the Executive Secretary for us to come and do institutional registration”, Prof Attafuah told Accra-based Joy FM, adding: “That is at a fee of GH¢100 per person”.

“You can also invite us to your home as long as the persons in your home are more than five. We can come and register at home also at a fee of GH¢100 per person”, Prof Attafuah noted.

He said the cost of the logistics required and the distance covered will also be borne by the applicant.

“There is also premium registration, which is available. We set up a centre at Movenpick or Golden Tulip or wherever, where we can go and register at a fee of GH¢250. There are options but all that we do at the mass registration centres are all free,” Prof Attafuah said.
