How to apply for a Ghanaian Passport

Since
many
people
end
up
paying
a
huge
amount
of
money
to
acquire
a
passport,
we
have
decided
to
share
with
you
how
to
apply
for
a
Ghanaian
Passport.

Many
people
have
been
ripped
in
an
attempt
to
secure
a
passport
in
this
country
by
some
middlemen
popularly
known
as
‘Goro
boys’.

Securing
a
Ghanaian
passport
shouldn’t
be
difficult
for
anyone
in
the
country
because
following
these
steps
can
help
anyone
apply
for
a
passport
without
the
need
to
see
a
connection
man
who
charges
exorbitant
fees
to
help
secure
a
passport.

What
is
even
better
is
that
you
can
apply
for
a
passport
from
the
comfort
of
your
house
and
then
go
to
the
Passport
Application
Center(PAC)
to
have
your
photograph
taken.

That
being
said,
let’s
begin
on
how
to
apply
for
a
Ghanaian
passport;

The
first
thing
to
note
is
that
the
price
of
a
Ghanaian
passport
depends
on
the
service
and
the
number
of
pages
you
require
in
your
booklet.
It
ranges
from
Ghc
500
to
Ghc
800.

Take
a
look
at
the
price
list
and
make
your
decision.

prices

Before
we
progress,
let
me
explain
to
you
the
difference
between
Expedited
Application
and
Standard
Application.

In
simple
terms,
the
expedited
application
is
what
people
term
as
two
weeks
of
processing.
This
means
your
passport
is
going
to
be
ready
in
two
weeks.
The
Standard
Application
which
is
also
termed
as
the
normal
processing
takes
a
month
to
be
ready.

After
deciding
on
the
type
of
application
and
the
number
of
pages
in
the
booklet
you
want,
you
can
progress
to
the
next
stage
which
is
the
payment.

Earlier,
applicants
were
requested
to
visit
the
banks
to
purchase
a
passport
application
voucher
but
now
things
have
been
made
easy
due
to
the
introduction
of
mobile
money
on
their
website.

Payment
options

Now
after
deciding
on
the
amount
and
the
payment
platform,
you
head
to
the
official
website
of
the
passport
office
which
is

https://passport.mfa.gov.gh/

When
on
the
site,
since
you
are
a
new
user,
click
on
the

‘New
User?
Register
Here’
This
will
take
you
to
the
registration
portal
where
you
will
be
directed
to

Sign
Up
on
the
portal.
You
just
fill
in
the
details
with
the
correct
credentials.

See

When

already
decided
on
this
from
the

this

should
be
easier
for
you.
