Ghana Enforces Biometric ID Verification | Global News

Ghana is cracking down on identity fraud with a bold new move: all businesses must now use a biometric app to verify the Ghana Card—no more photocopies or visual checks. The card, already vital for banking, SIM cards, and more, now comes with ten fingerprints, iris scans, and a photo, all locked into a secure digital system. National ID boss Wisdom Yayra Koku Deku made it clear—biometric verification is now mandatory, and non-compliance is illegal. The government is pushing for a full digital transition, promising more implementation details soon as Ghana steps firmly into a more secure, tech-driven future.
