The National Identification Authority (NIA) has announced the commencement of Ghana Card issuance for children between the ages of 6 and 14, starting Monday, October 6, 2025.
The first phase of the exercise will take place in 56 districts across the country and will focus on children who have already completed their registration. The cards will be distributed at the same schools where the registration exercise was conducted.
In a statement, the NIA indicated that each child must be present in person and accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to collect the card. Parents or guardians will also be required to present the registration receipt (Form A) issued during the registration process.
