The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has officially introduced a home and office passport delivery service for applicants.
The sector minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced this at a press conference on Friday, May 9, 2025.
Mr. Ablakwa stated that the initiative is in collaboration with Ghana Post and local courier firm Troskit to eliminate delays and the influence of middlemen, commonly known as “goro boys.”
According to him, applicants who make use of the delivery system will receive their passports within 15 days of application.
“Ghanaian passport applicants are no longer required to go back to the passport application centre for their passports. We have introduced peculiar services, making sure that passports are delivered to the comfort of the homes or offices of applicants,” he explained.
In line with the Mahama-led administration’s vision, Mr. Ablakwa hinted that the passport centre now runs a 24-hour service.
“The passport office, you may also have heard, is now operating 24 hours in line with President Mahama’s vision of launching Ghana into a new era of the 24-hour economy. We have also introduced e-tracking to allow passport applicants to follow the process right from application to delivery.
“We are doing all these reforms to make sure that we do away with bottlenecks and end that phenomenon of goro boys middlemen taking advantage of the bureaucracy and delay in the passport acquisition process,” he stated.
