How to Replace a Missing Ghana Card

 

Not many people know that they can replace their Ghana cards when they lose them.

 

Due to this, many people who have lost their Ghana cards have forgotten about them and moved on.

 

I will show you how you can replace the missing Ghana card. The following steps will guide you to get a replacement for the Ghana card you have misplaced.

 

First of all, you will have to file a police report about the missing Ghana card. The main reason you file the report is to get the document to present to the NIA. Filing the report does not mean that the Ghana card has been stolen.

 

After you are done with that, you will then send the police documents given to you by the police to the NIA. The office can be located in Shiashi around Legon in Accra (or any region you find yourself in). You will submit the forms to them there. If you do not live in or around Accra, well, pack some fare money and get on your way.

 

The NIA will then give you a form. You will need to make payment of 20 cedis for the card after being given the form. The police report will help to state the authenticity of your claims.

 

You will then go through the commission of oath after you have filled up the forms that will be given to you by the NIA. The commission of oath is located right beside the office of the NIA personnel.

 

After that, you will then submit the forms that have been stamped with the commission of oath to the NIA. They will tell you to return the Ghana card a week after the documents have been processed. Your Ghana will be ready to collect by then.
