1. Authentication of documents emanating from Ghana e.g. for marriage, education, birth certificates, divorce certificates, drivers’ licenses, etc. must be endorsed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration in Ghana before they are brought to the Embassy for authentication. The original documents must be presented before copies can be endorsed.

1. Consular fees must be paid through Bank Transfer to the Embassy's Danske Bank. Do not post cash!!
2. Applicants who make payments through banks other than Danske Bank should be mindful that it may take a couple of days before the transfer is complete. Please note that the issuance of a bank receipt upon completion of your transfer either through internet banking or the bank itself is not a confirmation that the transfer has been successful. This is because some applicants end up transferring into various accounts other than the Embassy's account.
3. To speed up the processing of the application, applicants are kindly advised to make their payments in person at the nearest Danske Bank office near them. In addition, they are required to submit their applications with a receipt or transfer advice from the bank. Please do not post cash!!
