The National Service Authority (NSA) has announced new registration exercise for 2025/26 National Service which will open on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 after cancelling all registrations that were previously made in June 2025.
The new exercise is expected to last for a week as it closes on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
NSA assured that all payments made in June 2025 will be refunded.
In a statement issued on October 7, 2025, the NSA says the decision follows a directive from the President after which a Technical and Forensic Audit was conducted on the previous Central Service Management Platform (CSMP).
According to the Authority, the audit found the system unsatisfactory and was consequently directed to design and deploy a new, “more robust digital platform to guarantee transparency, security, and real-time verification.”
The Authority declared that all registrations completed in June 2025 are null and void, directing all prospective personnel to re-register. It explained that the decision followed data integrity concerns, including discrepancies in ages, detected in the earlier process.
“All previous registrations from June 2025 have been declared null and void. Every prospective service personnel must re-register on the new platform,” the statement noted.
The Authority added that step-by-step guidelines for the online registration would be available on its new website, www.gnsa.gov.gh, starting Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
It further announced the implementation of stringent IT reforms and internal controls aimed at tackling payroll fraud and ensuring prompt payment of allowances. The NSA said it is working closely with the Controller and Accountant General’s Department to strengthen financial oversight and would also conduct periodic efficiency checks.
According to the statement, all national service personnel are expected to report to their assigned service stations on Saturday, November 1, 2025. The service year officially begins on Monday, November 3, 2025.
