The Management of the National Service Authority (NSA) is delighted to announce that the registration for defaulters and private candidates for the 2025/2026 service year is now officially open. This initiative extends a golden opportunity to Ghanaian citizens who, after completing their tertiary education, were unable to enroll in the national service program in previous years.
Eligible applicants include private candidates whose credentials are certified by accredited tertiary institutions and Ghanaian nationals who have studied abroad.
To register, applicants must submit the following documents:
- A letter requesting PIN Code or reactivation of PIN Code (Addressed to the Director General of NSA).
- Attestation letter from the institution attended.
- Certified true copy of the school certificate.
- Copy of Ghana card and Student ID.
- For foreign-trained applicants, inspection of passport.
- Payment of GHC50.00 processing fee.
- Original copies of these documents must be attached for verification.
Applicants can submit their registration documents at any NSA Regional Office nationwide or at the Headquarters in Accra during working hours, from Monday, March 17, 2025, to Friday, July 18, 2025 (excluding weekends and public holidays).
The NSA reminds the public that per the National Service Authority (Act 1119) 2024, every Ghanaian citizen who has attained the age of eighteen (18) years or more and has completed an accredited tertiary institution is mandated to undertake national service to the State.
