In the past, obtaining a Ghanaian passport has been a significant challenge and frustration, leading to the prevalence of middlemen, bribery, and corruption.
This situation has been significantly resolved, as Ghanaians can now apply for and obtain a passport within 24 hours, which is then delivered to their doorsteps.
The new centres are located in the regional capitals – Dambai, Damongo, Nalerigu, Goaso, Techiman, and Sefwi Wiawso.

Today, December 7 is exactly a year since you overwhelmingly voted to reset Ghana — we are determined to create that new Ghana and never to take your massive support for granted.
I have kept my promise of establishing 7 Passport Application Centres this year in all the Regions lacking them, and also reduced the Passport Application Fee by 30% — from GHS500 to GHS350.
Yes, I know this great development is also timely and fortuitous as Ghanaian football fans from all over Ghana prepare to go support the Black Stars in the US and Canada.
For God and Country
