The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has provided a breakdown of the passport application fees in Ghana, outlining the costs for different book types, processing times and service levels.
According to the Ministry, a 32-page passport with regular processing, which takes up to 15 working days, costs GH¢350.
The 48-page regular passport, with the same processing time, is priced at GH¢644.
For applicants requiring faster service, the 32-page express passport costs GH¢700, while the 48-page express option costs GH¢800, both with a processing time of within 10 working days.
For the most urgent needs, a 48-page premium passport, processed within 24 hours, costs GH¢2,000.
The Ministry noted that fees for applications made abroad are mission-specific, and applicants should contact their nearest embassy or consulate for details.
The Ministry stated that the only accepted mode of payment is through the ghana.gov platform via the passport application portal, using Mobile Money, Bank Card or Bank Transfer.
It also cautioned that all passport application fees are non-refundable once paid, including for incomplete applications, withdrawn applications and unsuccessful applications.
In the event of a failed payment where money is deducted, applicants are advised to wait 24 to 48 hours as the system may automatically reverse the transaction.
If the deduction is not reversed, applicants should contact support with their transaction details and bank statement showing the deduction for investigation.
