Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, minister of communications and digitalization, has said that a self-service application can now be used to complete the process of re-registering SIM cards.
She said that the mobile app would be accessible starting next week on either the Android or iOS operating systems.
On Sunday, July 31, the minister stated at the Minister’s Press Briefing that the SIM registration through the app will nevertheless incur a fee of GHC 5.
If nothing unexpected happens, the SIM Registration App will be available for download this week on both Android and iOS. A 5-cedi surcharge will be applied to each registration made through the app.
“Non-resident Ghanaians who do not have the Ghana Card can use their passports to complete the process but will be required to update their details with the Ghana Card once they acquire it.” They have up to December 2022 to do so. I urge them to comply with these directives and to contact the NCA if they have any peculiar challenges,” the minister added.
