Registration Requirements

Documents Required

Originals must be presented at the office

A valid passport is the primary requirement for first time registration. If you do not have a passport, a Guarantor is required instead.

    Valid International Passport
    Current and unexpired. All biographical pages must be legible and undamaged.
  • 📍

Note: With a valid passport, no Guarantor is needed.

Without a passport, you need a Guarantor — either a Ghanaian with a valid Ghana Card or a Non-Citizen with a valid Non-Citizen ID Card, willing to vouch for you.
