Ghana:Insurance transactions only through Ghana Card

| 17 Dec 2025

Motor insurance products can only be purchased with a valid Ghana card from 1 January 2026.

The Ghana Card is a national identity card issued by the National Identification Authority to all Ghanaian citizens living in Ghana and abroad.

The National Insurance Commission (NIC), in a public notice, said, “Effective 1 January 2026, the Ghana Card would become a mandatory requirement when purchasing or renewing any motor insurance policy.”

The NIC said that the initiative would help:

  • Improve claims handling

  • Strengthen Know-Your-Customer (KYC) & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance

  • Reduce fraud

  • Align Ghana with global financial service standards.

Corporate clients will have to provide their tax identification number when undertaking motor insurance transactions.
