On my Ghana card my name was spelt wrong (Because of my old birth certificate )I now have a new birth certificate with an Affidavit. Can I apply for a passport.
The names on your Ghana Card must match the names on the birth certificate you want to use for the passport. Otherwise, do any of the following: 1) If you prefer to use the names on the Ghana card, then visit the Birth & Death registry for them to change the names on the birth cert to match that of the Ghana card. 2) If you prefer to use the names on the Birth Certificate, visit the Ghana Card office (NIA) for them to change the names on the Ghana card to match that of the Birth certificate. Visit any offices (NIA or the B & D Registry) for professional advice.
6:57 Please under the payment section here, if you are doing it for someone. Will you enter your payment details or the details of the person you are doing it for. Thanks
That's a good news @Patrick How was it? Did you have to pay any extra money for it? Was it stressful? How long did it take? We'd love to hear your experience. Thanks bro
@@EduMediaGh I booked two appointments before I could complete the picture and biometric capture. On the first appointment I forgot my NIA card(Ghana card) at home so I booked another appointment, it took less than 4 hrs to complete the process. I was given 2 months to come for my passport so I paid 800 cedis to certain man to get it done for in less than a month
woow, that was so stressful. For those asking whether Ghana Card is mandatory or not, take note from Patrick's ordeal, he had to go back for it and rebook appointment. If you don't have your Ghana card, get it before even starting the process. With regard to the additional GHS 800.00 payment for quick processing, well, I have absolutely nothing to say about it :) Thanks @Patrick for sharing your experience with us.

Hello Sir, Please I cant proceed to the next stage after the sign up stage (ie after filling my name, number , email , password etc ). The portal says something went wrong and moves me back to the initial signup stage. How do I correct this.
I have applied for standard 32 pages and my appointment is scheduled on the 27 of September 2023. I must have the passport by the end of January 2024. I'm afraid that I might not get it so I want to abandon it and apply for expedited 32 pages. Any advice for me?
My dad is a Ghanaian and he’s late but my grandfather still lives in ghana and i have been living in Nigeria all my life so i don’t have any ghana documents. How do i get my ghana passport and where do i start from? Sir please i need a response.
If you apply today and do your biometrics this week (which is possible for some centers) and with all things being equal, I'm pretty sure you can get it in a month's time; in the last week of February
The standard option is for a duration of 1 month and the expedited option is about 3 weeks I have had testimony from some people who applied for the expedited option and they said it came in a month. So you just have to do your analysis and make your choice.
NB: I said everything being equal. Some PAC have a lot of appointment booked hence, the next available date for booking is beyond April or May. Others don't have so much booking, hence their next available date for booking could even be tomorrow. So you'd have to factor this as well
You can rebook appointment. You just have to login to your application portal, click on the specific application and the option is available for you to rebook appointment.
Please after the initial stages of application(filling my name , number etc.), the portal says something went wrong when I try to proceed to the next stage, how can I correct this and move to the next stage.
Sir please after doing mine the available date before booking an appointment was the next day before choosing a date on their calendar did I have to go and do something there before the date I chose or I can do everything on the day I booked on the calendar
Hello sir Pls I have made payment for passport application form but it has not been released to me since Friday till now. But the payment too has been approved….pls can you help me out?🙏🙏
The duration it will take the passport to come will depend on the option you've selected; except in rare situation where the office is coupled with unforseen problems. Usually a month for standard option and 3 weeks for expedited. In the greater part of last year, the office had shortage of the passport leaflet forcing some of the passport printing to delay beyond the actual duration. I'll suggest you visit the office and ask them why the delay.
@@EduMediaGh I choose the standard and its been almost 6months. I went there mid November and the only thing they said was it not yet in. No proper reason.
Using an official stamp. After filling the online form, you'll have to print it, sign your section and the witness will also stamp & sign their section
Pls i checked their page but the forms its only the standard with 32pages thats available , also that one when u want to buy , it will tale you to a page where it says sorry something went wrong
The difference is in the number of leaves/pages. If you're a frequent traveler, it'll be advisable to go for the 48 page booklet since it contains more pages.
Hello, I have glanced through most of the Ghanaian videos showing how to apply for the online passport, but you repeat same mistakes and no one seem to talk about it. You are showing us how to fill the forms so why don't you fill it as well and show us? But you just talked about it and we follow same procedures we get errors.
We're showing how to fill the application form, not fill it for you. Beside, we can't disclose someone's information to you through the form filling. Just look at the fills and input your own details. The aim of the video is to give you hindsight of information required and prepare such info before the applying
@@EduMediaGh You didn't get the concept I was trying to make, when you go let's say 'How to fill USA passport form' They will fill the forms and will blur the neccessory personal info that is what I'm trying to mean. Because with you have shown If I'm to follow the same thing I will be rejected at the passport office. We don't know if we are to fill it in CAPS or small letters, there are certain informations that will don't even know how to go by it but when you are Filling it and bluring your sentitive information I think it will help.
Please if your mom is Togolese and your dad is Ghanian and you already major you are 22years , will they need your dad id card before doing the passport ? And if both of the parents are Ghanians , will they need , your parent is card before doing the passports even you are 22 years ?
If your dad is Ghanaian, you qualify to apply for it. During the application, you will put in your dad's details. At the passport office (when you're due for biometric capture), you don't need to go to the office with your dad or his documents. If the officers deem it necessary, they'll place a call to your dad for some information.
Just after you click on the "BOOK" button to confirm your appointment booking, a print preview is made available to preview the application filled. You can use your PCs shortcut Ctrl+P to print it or save it as pdf for later printing. Nonetheless, if you've exited the page. You can always login to your application portal, navigate to the History section and and click on the application to open it, then print.
Hello Sir, please I have successfully filled the form and booked appointment. The problem here is I am changing location so I want to reschedule the appointment date and time. Do I need to wait for the current time to elapse or there is a way out?. I have tried to rebook but to no avail.
you should change it before the scheduled date. Visit the portal, you should be able to change it. If you find it difficult, I'll suggest you visit the nearest passport office for assistance.
The maiden name usually applies to women. It's the original surname of a married woman. So if you're a woman and you're married. And you changed your surname to your husband's, then you put your original surname in that field. Otherwise, you leave it blank.
Sir , actually I haven't yet received my ghaña card but I have my Ghana card documents with me.if I may ask can I pls send that since I haven't yet received the card
You need to include the Ghana card number which is only available on the printed Ghana card. The Ghana card filled forms doesn't provide such ID number hence it can't be accepted in place of the Ghana card
Sir pls does it means that when I book a passport and apply for a premium pack I will get it on time despite the fact that am still applying for a standard passport application of 48pages
you don't need to submit graduation certificate. If you are not yet employed, state it. and add your certificate to your printed form when going for the biometric capture.
I've gotten to the point where I have to provide details of my grand parents. Buh my grandfather is no more. Alive . Buh the system still insist that I provide his telephone number
