Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of the Republic of Ghana announced on his X account that he launched the CitizenApp, an innovative digital platform, which consolidates public services, to enhance accessibility, efficiency and convenience for all citizens.
The CitizenApp, which featuring a unique identification system like the Ghanacard, has been designed to give citizens a lifetime digital experience, as the app can be used to access public services, such as registering the birth of a new-born baby, applying for a passport and drivers license, renewing NHIS card, registering businesses, filing of taxes, searching for jobs, changing of names and, in the unfortunate event of the death of a loved one, accessing death certificate.
