Ghana Police Introduces Digital System for Clearance Applications
The Ghana Police Service has introduced a digital platform for police clearance applications to improve efficiency and accessibility. The system helps applicants to apply for police clearance certificates online through eservices.police.gov.gh. This certificate helps verify the absence of criminal records and is especially important for visa applicants and travellers. The traditional process involved embassy notifications, applying in person, and waiting up to ten days. However, the new digital platform, currently in a pilot phase in specific regions, has shown increased convenience and efficiency for applicants. It is expected to be rolled out nationwide after a successful pilot phase. To utilize the new digital service, applicants must first register an account on eservices.police.gov.gh. Once registered, applicants can select the desired service type, provide their personal information, and securely make payments through the official government payment platform, Ghana.Gov. Additio
