The Ministry of Communications and Digitalization has extended the deadline for registration of subscriber identification module (SIM) cards to July 31, 2022.
According to a press release signed by Ursula Owusu Ekufful on March 22, 2022, stated that due to several factors including the fact that over 7.5 million citizens and residents are yet to obtain their Ghana cards to enable them to register their SIM cards.
She further stated that the deadline for completion of the registration of the remaining active SIM cards cannot be met.
“More time will also be required to update the sim registration app for the registration of diplomats will a self-service sim registration app is also being developed to facilitate registration of SIM cards for Ghanaians resident abroad. This will be operational by mid April.” She stated.
She further commended all Ghanaians and foreign residents in Ghana for their support in ensuring that through this exercise, we develop and build a credible SIM database with integrity, which will help address issues of cyber fraud and promotes secure SIM card-based transaction as part of effort to digitally transform the economy.
