2. Submit the form with supporting documents to the Ministry of the Interior or your nearest Ghanaian mission.
3. Pay the fee.
4. Attend any interview as requested.
5. Collect the Dual Citizenship Certificate.

Dual citizens may hold any public office except: President, Vice-President, Speaker of Parliament, Chief Justice, Chief of Defence Staff, IGP, Commissioner of CHRAJ, Auditor-General, Ambassador or High Commissioner, or Secretary to the Cabinet.
