The National Identification Authority (NIA) announces for the information of the general public that, pending the recruitment of permanent staff for its Regional and District offices, it has engaged temporary staff for the month of June 2021 only, to facilitate the opening of the offices and the issuance of Ghana Cards to Ghanaians who registered but did not receive their cards during the mass registration exercise.

The temporary staff will also engage in public education and community sensitization to foster awareness of the locations, functions and services of the offices.
