Ghana’s Police Service has introduced a new digital platform for police clearance applications to improve efficiency and accessibility.
Details
The system will allow applicants to apply for police clearance certificates online through eservices.police.gov.gh.
This certificate helps verify the absence of criminal records and is especially important for visa applicants and travelers.
Why This Matters
The traditional process involved embassy notifications, applying in person, and waiting up to ten days. However, the new digital platform, currently in a pilot phase in specific regions, will increase convenience and efficiency for applicants.
It is expected to be rolled out nationwide after a successful pilot phase.
How It Works
Applicants will need to register an account on eservices.police.gov.gh.
Once registered, applicants can select the desired service type, provide their personal information, and securely make payments through the official government payment platform, Ghana.Gov.
Additionally, applicants will schedule an appointment and visit the designated centre to have their fingerprints digitally scanned using advanced livescan technology.
