Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has announced that the Ghana card will be the primary source of documents for passport applications under his government.
The presidential candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) stated that this would help simply the process for the application of passports.
Dr. Bawumia promised that his government would streamline the process by making Ghana Card data the primary basis for passport applications.
While visiting Nkwanta North in the Oti Region on Monday, October 28, 2024, Dr. Bawumia stated that digital advances aim to improve Ghanaians’ lives, notably that digitising the passport application process might drastically eliminate bureaucratic impediments.
“We have realised that a lot of people are interested in acquiring passports but the process is tedious. I intend to simplify this process, I have realised that the information requested is on the Ghana Card.
“What we will then do is to make people submit their Ghana Card and pay the fees, it will be simple, you will not fill any forms from 2025.”
