The National Identification Authority card will be the only accepted ID for the registration of businesses at the Registrar General by January 2022.
The Tax Identification Number (TIN) from Ghana Revenue Authority will no longer be of use as well.
Mrs Jemila Oware, head of the Registrar General, stated that the registration system is being upgraded to take up the NIA cards based on the government’s directive.
“From January of next year, it is just going to be the NIA card. Our system speaks with other institutions such as the Ghana Post and the National Identification Authority to identify people in our system.” she stated.
“Most of the agencies that have anything to do with business registration, have been linked up with us electronically. For instance, our system speaks to Ghana Revenue Authority’s system to generate the TIN. Our systems are going to be speaking to National Identification Authority system to identify.”
