The National Identification Authority (NIA) has suspended services for the Ghana Card at the El Wak Sports Stadium.

The NIA will therefore not provide the identity management services services today, Monday, 1 August 2022.

The identity management services include updating of personal records, correction of errors and replacement of lost cards.

A statement issued by the NIA on Sunday, 31 July 2022, said:  “These services will resume Tuesday, 2nd August 2022.”

Meanwhile, the ongoing SIM card re-registration exercise which was billed to end today, Sunday, 31 July 2022, has been extended to 30 September 2022.

The second deadline extension was announced by the Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, at a press briefing on Sunday.

“The programme will be extended to 30 September to end the anniversary of its commencement, which will give us a full year”, she told journalists.

“Any SIM that has not been registered by end of August will be barred from receiving services”, she warned.
