Legal Requirements Under Act 1119 and Next Steps

Under the National Service Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1119), completing national service remains a compulsory legal duty for every Ghanaian tertiary graduate. Without a valid national service discharge certificate, graduates cannot secure formal employment across public and private sectors in Ghana.

Approved applicants should retrieve their PIN codes immediately, pay the required GHC 104 processing fee at designated ADB Bank branches or via mobile money, and finalize online deployment registration. Candidates facing portal discrepancies should report directly to regional NSA offices for assistance.
