Ghana Card verification — what we check

Habivista runs Ghana Card verification on every agent application. The check is a name and number lookup against the National Identification Authority (NIA) database, paired with a manual photo review by our trust team.

What we check

• Name match — the name on the application must match the Ghana Card.
• Card number — the number is verified in the NIA database for validity.
• Photo match — the front-of-card photo is reviewed against your profile photo.
• Card status — expired or invalid cards are rejected.

What we don't share

• Your Ghana Card image is never displayed publicly. It's stored encrypted and only used for verification.
• Your Ghana Card number is never shown in your profile, on listings, or in messages.
• Verified agents only show a green badge — no card details exposed.

Common rejection reasons

• Photo too blurry — re-upload a sharp, well-lit shot.
• Name mismatch — your card name doesn't match what you typed in the form.
• Cropped card — both front and back must be fully visible.
• Card expired — renew at the NIA before re-submitting.

How long it takes

Most checks complete within 24 working hours. Edge cases (e.g., name spelling discrepancies) take 2–3 working days because they need manual review.
