NSA ANNOUNCES 30-DAY GRACE PERIOD FOR BIOMETRIC COMPLIANCE FOR UNIVERSITY GRADUATES POSTED FOR THE 2024/2025 SERVICE YEAR

In line with our transformation programme and H.E. John Dramani Mahama’s directive to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the National Service Deployment process, the National Service Authority (NSA) wishes to inform all stakeholders and the general public of the enforcement of biometric compliance measures.

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 March 19, 2025, to fulfill this requirement. Failure to comply within this period will result in the automatic nullification of their registration and posting, in accordance with the law.

This measure applies to 6,635 affected personnel from the 2024/2025 service year, who, despite being posted since October 1, 2024 have not reported for their final biometric validation. This action aligns with NSA Act 2024 (ACT 1119), which stipulates that personnel who fail to report to their assigned agency within three months of posting are considered to have evaded service.

Going forward, all deployed service personnel must:

1. Obtain user agency acceptance within the 90-day period.

2. Report to their respective Regional Offices with their Ghana Card for final biometric validation within the same timeframe.

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.

For further clarifications, please contact 0554404422.

Thank you.
