10,000 passports uncollected – Director of Passports

Director of Passports, Mr. Emmanuel Enos, has disclosed that about 10,000 processed passports belonging to Ghanaian citizens have been left uncollected at the various passport offices across the country.

Subsequently, he called on applicants to come for their passports.

Mr. Enos disclosed this to journalists during a tour of passports’ application centres in Accra yesterday.

He explained that, the passports are printed as and when they are requested by prospective applicants, but regretted that in spite of the urgency attached to the printing of the documents, the owners fail to collect them.

According to him, about 3000 passports are printed daily at the Accra Regional Passport Application Centre in Accra.

He advised prospective applicants to only go to where they would submit their forms for their passports and not the Ridge office in Accra.

“Apart from the normal processing, my office also engages in express and diplomatic processing of passports, including emergency cases such as people travelling for medical purposes”, he disclosed.

He warned against the activities of middlemen, popularly called ‘goro’ boys, who collect various sums of money from applicants, and called on applicants to go to passport office themselves for their passports.

He wondered how people can entrust their future in the hands of middlemen, and cautioned them to stop dealing with them.
