PROCESSING TIME

The  processing time for an application for a  Ghanaian Passport, is one (1) month starting from the date applicant meets all necessary requirements . Applicants who, FOR ONE REASON OR THE OTHER, submit an Incomplete application, would DELAY the processing of their applications.

Please note that there is No Express service for processing  passport applications. Applicants are therefore advised to apply at least 2 months to their intended time of travel or the intended time of use ,to avoid undue delays.

Due to the increase in the number of passport applications that may arise, the Embassy will NOT be in the position to contact applicants who fail to meet all requirements of the application via telephone. You are therefore advised to provide a valid EMAIL ADDRESS for  further communication regarding your application.

POSTAGE/PICK-UP

1. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, applicants are not allowed to collect their passports in person at the Embassy until further notice. You are advised to include a self-addressed return envelope with valid stamps or international postage coupons in your application.

METHOD OF PAYMENT

1. All applicants are to note that passport application payments are no longer to be made to the Embassy’s bank account. Henceforth, all payments must be made directly to Accra through the official online payment system. Once an applicant begins the passport application process online, a payment link will appear during the application to enable direct payment to Accra. Applicants are therefore advised not to make any passport payment into the Embassy’s account. Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated.
2. Applicants FROM FINLAND AND ICELAND who have made payments should be mindful that it may take a couple of days before the transfer is complete. Please note that the issuance of a bank receipt upon completion of your transfer either through internet banking or the bank itself is not a confirmation that the transfer has been successful.
3. To avoid delays in the processing of the application, applicants are kindly advised to make their payments TWO (2) OR THREE (3) DAYS AHEAD OF THEIR APPOINTMENT DATE. In addition, they are required to submit their applications with a receipt or transfer advice from the bank. Please do not post cash!!
