General News of Saturday, 18 May 2019Source: Graphic.com.ghNIA shuts down online portal for Ghana Card registrationSome citizen at the NIA registration centerThe National Identification Authority (NIA) has shut down its online portal for the Ghana Card registration due to unusual traffic on the site. This was after people thronged the site to pre-register in order to avoid delays and frustrations at the registration centres. “The NIA appreciates the interest shown in the use of the online portal as an alternative to filling the registration forms at the registration centres and is working assiduously to restore the service,” he said. He explained, however, that the online registration only helped applicants fill the registration form online, after which they would have to print the form and submit it to the registration centres. The other activities for the registration of the card, including the taking of fingerprints and pictures, would also be done at the registration centres, he added.
