DUAL CITIZENSHIP


In accordance with the Citizenship Act of 2002 (Act 591), Ghanaians who have acquired US Citizenship, are eligible to apply for dual citizenship.
Guidelines

Applicants are required to complete a Dual Nationality Application Form at a cost of $250.
The Form has to be fully completed before submission to the Embassy and onward transmission to the Ministry of Interior in Accra.


REQUIREMENTS:


ALL APPLICANTS FOR DUAL CITIZENSHIP MUST INCLUDE A POLICE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK TO THEIR APPLICATION:

A completed application is to be accompanied by:
A photocopy of your U.S.A Naturalization Certificate/U.S passport
Six passport size photographs
Evidence of Ghanaian Nationality:
(Parent’s nationality – photocopy of passport or Birth Certificate / Birth certificate / Voter’s ID card / Ghanaian Passport)
Contact telephone numbers
Names and address of two relatives residing in Ghana
Photocopy of the receipt issued when the application form was purchased

Application forms can be obtained from the Embassy in Washington D.C., and the Ghana’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York. Prospective applicants who live outside the locations indicated above and wish to purchase the form can send money order of $250.00
per form to the Embassy with a note requesting for the Dual Nationality Application Form. Include a self address and traceable return envelope.
On acquiring the dual citizenship, a holder will be entitled to apply for Ghanaian passport in addition to their US passport.
A holder of dual citizenship will be permitted to remain in Ghana without limitation if the person entered the country on a Ghana passport.
