In a move aimed at improving passport services, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has launched Ghana’s first-ever One-Day Expedited Passport Delivery Service.
The service offers applicants a full 24-hour turnaround for the processing and delivery of a standard, ICAO-compliant passport.
Applicants who opt for the expedited passport service will benefit from a streamlined application process, nationwide courier delivery, and an e-tracking system that enables real-time monitoring of their documents.
The Ministry has set the cost of the urgent service at GHS 2,000 but stressed that the standard application system remains unchanged. Applicants can still obtain a chip-embedded passport for GHS 350, with free courier delivery within 15 working days.
The expedited passport service is designed to support emergency and urgent travel situations, such as sudden business trips or family emergencies.
The new accelerated alternative is available to applicants via passport.mfa.gov.gh, the Ministry’s official web portal.
