Speaking in an interview on UTV, on April 27, 2023, monitored by GhanaWeb, the director of consumer and corporate affairs at the NCA, Nana Defie Badu, disclosed that the short code for the verification of SIM cards registered to a Ghana Card is *402*1#.

Defie Badu said that the public can start using the short code for all Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) starting from May 1, 2023.

How to verify the number of SIM cards registered to your Ghana Card:

First dial *402*1#

After dialling *402*1# a list of SIM cards registered with a Ghana Card will pop up.

If you find a strange number linked to your Ghana Card, you have to report it to the MNO (mobile network) of the strange number, say MTN or Vodafone or AirtelTigo.

The number will be disconnected from your SIM after the service provider affirms that you are the owner of the Ghana Card through a Know Your Customer (KYC).
