Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has just unveiled some exciting new updates to Ghana’s passport system, making the process even more convenient for citizens.
In a post shared on Sunday, April 27, 2025, Mr. Ablakwa highlighted that along with the introduction of chip-embedded passports — a move in line with international standards — the government is also rolling out major service improvements.
One of the key changes? Passport delivery is now handled by Ghana Post, with no additional cost to applicants.
This means that whether you’re at home or without a personal address, you can easily collect your passport from a nearby Ghana Post office.
Even more exciting, a 24-hour passport operations and delivery service will soon be available, speeding up the entire process and creating jobs across the country.
And here’s the best part: despite all these upgrades, passport application fees have been slashed.
Thanks to a public-private partnership, the cost of these reforms is being covered without putting any extra financial pressure on the Ghanaian people.
