The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced that it will start giving Ghana Cards to children aged 6 to 14. The exercise will begin on Monday, October 6, 2025.
This phase will focus on children who have already registered for the Ghana Card. The first stage will take place in 56 districts across the country.
According to the NIA, the cards will be distributed in the same schools where the children first registered. This will make it easier for families to locate the centers.
Each child must be present during the card collection. They must come with a parent or legal guardian.
Parents or guardians must bring the registration receipt, also known as Form A. This receipt was given on the day the child registered.
The NIA says this will help officers confirm the identity of each child. It will also make the process faster and more organized.
Officials from the NIA have promised a smooth and well-planned distribution process. They said trained staff will be at every center to guide parents and children.
The NIA also mentioned that all unprinted Ghana Card backlogs have been cleared. This means all pending cards from earlier exercises are now ready for collection.
After the 56 districts are done, the remaining districts will also begin their distribution. The NIA has assured the public that every registered child will get their card.
The Authority is asking all parents and guardians to cooperate with officials. This will help make the exercise easier and faster.
The NIA also said new registration dates for children aged 6 to 14 will be announced soon. This will give parents who missed earlier registration a chance to register their children.
The Authority thanked parents and guardians for their patience and support. It said the goal is to ensure every Ghanaian child has a valid national identity card.
The Ghana Card is now one of the most important identification documents in Ghana. It is used for banking, school registration, and other official activities.
By giving cards to children, the NIA aims to strengthen the national database. This will also help children access public services more easily.
The NIA says this step supports the government’s vision of a digital economy. Reliable identification for every citizen will make national planning and development easier.
The Authority encouraged parents to share the information with others. It believes everyone’s cooperation will make the exercise successful.
