The authority in a statement explained that the suspension is to enable it to prepare to deploy staff to its permanent offices nationwide.
The services affected include new registrations, card collection or issuance, card replacement, and update of personal records.
“In all, 16 Regional Offices, 275 NIA operational District Offices and the Premium Registration Centre at the NIA Head Office will be open across the country, effective Wednesday, 3rd November 2021,” the statement indicated.
The Ghana Card is currently being used by Ghanaians for the registration of SIM cards by mobile phone users.
