The Authority said over 30,000 cases of double registration have been brought to its attention since the beginning of the Ghana Card registration in the country.
Executive Secretary for the NIA, Prof Ken Attafuah who addressed a press conference yesterfay Wednesday said suspected persons will not receive their cards.
“32,756 cases of double registration have been recorded. This is a situation where an applicant attempts to register twice at a particular registration centre or a different centre.
