No need for Accra trips: Passport Office lists biometric centres in all 16 regions

Ghanaians seeking to obtain or renew their passports no longer have to travel to Accra for biometric capture, as the Passport Office has published the full list of Passport Application Centres across all sixteen regions.

The Passport Office has urged applicants to choose the centre nearest to their place of residence for biometric registration, which is a mandatory step in the passport application process. All applications must first be completed online at https://passport.mfa.gov.gh before visiting any centre.

In Greater Accra, applicants can visit the Accra PAC at the former Ministry of Foreign Office Complex on 2 Urban Link, or the Passport Head Office PAC at 13 Gamel Abdul Nasser Avenue in Ridge. The Tema PAC is also available at the former IRS Office in Community 4.

For residents of the Ashanti Region, the Kumasi PAC is located on Guggisberg Road, opposite the Public Works Department in Adum, near the Ministries area.

In the Central Region, the Cape Coast PAC is situated at 0295 Aboom Wells Road. The Western Region centre is at the Takoradi PAC on Immigration Lane at the Western Regional Coordinating Council in Sekondi. The Western North Region is served by the Sefwi Wiawso PAC, located in the same building as the National Health Insurance Scheme Western North Regional Office near the Western North Regional Coordinating Council.

The Volta Region centre is the Ho PAC, next to the Volta Regional Coordinating Council in the same building as Ghana Immigration Services. The Eastern Region centre is at the Koforidua PAC, located at the old Public Works Department office in the SSNIT Office Area.

For northern Ghana, the Tamale PAC is at Police Park on State Street. The North East Region centre is at the Nalerigu PAC on the same premises as LA Primary ‘A’ School, beside Ghana Commercial Bank. The Upper East Region centre is the Bolgatanga PAC, while the Upper West Region centre is the Wa PAC at the Upper West Regional Ghana Education Office Block C.

The Bono Region centre is the Sunyani PAC at Area 4, behind Jubilee Park. The Bono East Region centre is at the Techiman PAC, and the Ahafo Region centre is the Goaso PAC at the old Ahafo Regional Coordination Council building. The Oti Region centre is the Dambai PAC.

The Passport Office has encouraged all applicants to take advantage of these regional centres to avoid the cost and inconvenience of travelling to Accra. 

By choosing the nearest centre, applicants can complete their biometric capture closer to home, reduce travel expenses, and help decongest the Accra facilities, leading to faster processing times for everyone.
