The Judicial Service has reversed its directive on 'No Ghana Card, No Court Document,' which was issued in January.
In a circular issued by the Judicial Secretary, Justice Cyra Pamela C.A Koranteng, individuals were instructed to present their Ghana Cards as identification to obtain judgments.
It meant that failure to do so would result in the denial of the court document.

However, in a letter addressed to Court Registrars dated Thursday, February 29, Justice Cyra Pamela stated that the circular in question was not authorised.
“I write with reference to a circular issued in the name of the Judicial Secretary, on 31st January 2024 on the subject of proving one’s identity by producing a Ghana card to obtain Judgements."
"Kindly note that this circular was not authorised by the Judicial Secretary, consequently, it is hereby withdrawn with immediate effect,” Justice Cyra Pamela C.A Koranteng said in the letter.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Judicial Secretary has pledged to provide guidelines on preventing fraudulent activities, urging Court Registrars to comply with the directive.
“Please expect to receive directives in respect of measures to be taken to curb improper use of court orders by fraudsters. Kindly take note for your immediate compliance.”
