Accra, Ghana - 18 June, 2025 -

The National Service Authority (NSA) has taken a significant step towards the commencement of the 2025/2026 service year by releasing PIN codes for 132,393 prospective national service personnel from 100 accredited tertiary institutions across Ghana. This development comes after the Authority implemented stricter validation protocols and increased transparency, resulting in a marked improvement in data integrity.

The NSA's efforts to eliminate inflated or fraudulent submissions have yielded positive results, with the current intake averaging 26% lower than figures from the previous three years. However, 3,597 submissions from graduates of 22 unaccredited institutions have not been processed, and the Authority has urged these institutions to regularize their status with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) within the next 30 days.

In addition to graduates from accredited institutions, 908 private applicants, including Ghanaian students who studied abroad and those who deferred or defaulted in previous years, are awaiting final verification before their PIN codes are released. Prospective service personnel can activate their PIN codes by paying GH¢40 at any ADB Bank Ltd branch or GH¢41 via MTN Mobile Money and complete their registration on the NSA portal.

The NSA has also introduced new features to enhance transparency and security, including Facial Biometric Verification and Verified Address Input. Furthermore, the Authority is rolling out a pilot phase of a six-week Basic Military Training programme, and interested candidates can express their willingness to join during registration.

The NSA in a statement reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a transparent and meaningful service experience and extends its best wishes to all graduates preparing to serve the nation.
