Biometric
passports ready to take off
Audrey Agyiri-Inkoom
Accra, March 23, Ghanadot -
The government will officially launch the biometric passports
today, according to information gathered by Ghanadot. The
Central Operations and Productions (COP) centre and the two
Passport Applications Centre’s (PACs) for Accra are all ready
for a smooth take-off.
Within six weeks of the launch, the PACs in Kumasi, Tamale and
Ho will also start receiving biometric passport applications for
processing.
The PACs in Sekondi/Takoradi and Sunyani will be ready to
receive and process applications after those in Kumasi, Tamale
and Ho have been installed.
In an interview on Citi FM, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and
Regional Integration, Alhaji Muhammad Mumuni said by the middle
of this year, all the PACs would be on stream to facilitate the
application and acquisition process.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has set
April 1, 2010 for all member countries to commence the issuance
of machine readable passports incorporating biometric data,
while all non-biometric machine readable passports will cease to
be accepted as regular travelling documents by other ICAO
countries effective November 24, 2015.
Meanwhile, Mr. Frank Nunoo, Assistant Superintendent Officer (ASO)
of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) at Sekondi has reiterated
that the services of middlemen are not needed to process the
biometric passports.
He therefore, cautioned Ghanaians to beware of middlemen when
applying for the biometric passport, which takes off on Tuesday,
March 23, 2010.
