Some Ghanaians have admonished the National Identification Authority to adequately prepare for the issuance of the GhanaCard registration in order to avoid further 'embarrassment'.

Some of the citizens who spoke to Prime News Ghana said they were disappointed in the Authority over its failure to begin the registration process and issuance of the National ID on Tuesday, May 28, 2018.

Several officers who gathered at the Presidency and other selected centres on May 28, 2018, to get their National ID were left stranded and disappointed after officers of the National Identification Authority (NIA) failed to show up to have them registered.

Other citizens who spoke to Prime News Ghana complained about the fact that they did not have and are experiencing difficulties acquiring the primary documents required for the registration process, namely a birth certificate or a valid passport.

The roll-out failure on May 28, 2018, becomes the 5th time the National Identification Authority has missed out on its planned dates to begin the registration and issuance of the Ghana card.

However, the NIA has since apologized to officers from the selected institutions that were to be registered from May 28 to June 8 in the Greater Accra Region for the inconvenience the delay may have caused.
