Ms. Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Minister for Foreign Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) and Regional Integration has once again announced that passports are available for collection at designated Passport Application Centres (PACs) for applicants who have had their biometric data captured.

Even though the Ministry some days ago entreated all applicants to pick up their passports, many of them are yet to heed to the call, necessitated another reminder.

In a public notice, the ministry urged all passport applicants who had submitted their applications since 2016 but had not yet collected their passports to visit their respective PACs.

“Collection is available Monday through Friday between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Applicants are reminded to bring their collection slips for verification,” the notice indicated, counting on the usual cooperation of passport applicants to undertake this important exercise.

The number of passport booklets at the various PACs are shown below:
