The National Identification Authority (NIA) of Ghana has launched a pilot program to issue Ghana Cards to Ghanaians in Canada, starting in Ottawa and Ontario, with plans to expand to Washington, D.C., and New York. Applicants can register online, pay fees, and schedule appointments for a 10-minute biometric process. Fees vary: $55 for ECOWAS nationals, $75 for other Africans, and $115 for others. The card replaces multiple identification numbers and enhances data security.
