Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced that every region in the country will have a passport application centre by December 2025.
According to him, the first of the new centres will be commissioned this month in Bolgatanga, as part of efforts to decentralise passport services and make them more accessible to Ghanaians.
Mr Ablakwa disclosed during a ceremony at which five distinguished Ghanaians, travel vlogger Wode Maya, Grammy-nominated reggae artist Rocky Dawuni, broadcaster and entrepreneur Anita Erskine, contemporary artist Ibrahim Mahama, and British-Ghanaian entrepreneur Dentaa Amoateng MBE, were presented with diplomatic passports.
The Minister highlighted ongoing reforms that have already made passport acquisition more efficient. Applicants, he said, now receive their passports faster, with courier services delivering them directly, eliminating the stress of long trips to collection centres.
“But we still have seven regions without passport application centres. By December, we will ensure that every region has one, starting with Bolgatanga this month,” Mr Ablakwa noted.
