The National Service Authority (NSA) has announced a 30-day grace period for service personnel to complete biometric verification process.
This is in line with the Authority’s transformation programme to enhance transparency, efficiency and accountability in its deployment process.
“All deployed personnel who have not yet completed their final biometric validation at their respective Regional Offices are granted a 30-day grace period, ending on 19th March, 2025 to fulfil this requirement. Failure to comply within this period will result in the automatic nullification of their registration and posting, in accordance with the law.”, the statement read.
According to the Authority, the measure applies to 6,635 personnel of the 2024/2025 service year, who have not reported for their final biometric validation since they were deployed in October 2024.
The NSA Act 2024 (ACT 119) stipulates that personnel who fail to report to their assigned agency within three months of posting are considered to have evaded service.
The statement, dated February 18, 2025 and signed by the Director-General, Felix Gyamfi, asked all deployed service personnel to obtain user agency approval within the 90-day period and report to their respective regional offices with their Ghana Card for final biometric validation within the same period.
“Additionally, deployed service personnel will not be placed on the payroll until they have successfully completed biometric validation and presented themselves at their assigned district for monthly evaluation.”, the statement added.
It also provided a regional breakdown of the affected personnel.
The Authority directs all enquiries to be made via contact with 0554404422.
