The agency responsible for civil registration in Ghana, operating under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act 2020 (Act 1027).

It registers births and deaths and issues the certificates, through district offices and through registration points in hospitals.

A birth certificate from here is the document a Ghana Card, a passport and a school place all eventually trace back to. Registering late is possible and is more work: it needs evidence and, often, a statutory declaration.
