The National Identification Authority (NIA) is set to undertake a Ghana Card registration for minors aged 6 to 14 from October 7, 2024.
The initial phase of the registration will take place in schools across selected districts, making it convenient for eligible children to participate.
In an interview with Channel One News, Alfred Gazari, Deputy Director of Operations at the NIA, emphasised the significance of registering minors, noting that it is a vital step in ensuring the identification and inclusion of all Ghanaians in the national database.
“It’s important that we do such registration for children between 6 to 14 years. It’s part of the plan to register every Ghanaian in the country.
“We have done over 15 years; we have started with zero to 5 years, and this is the last phase of the registration for all Ghanaians as well as those outside the country.”
“Everybody needs the card, without it, you can’t do anything meaningful. It’s important we rope the 6 to 14-years in,” he stated.
