Margins Group will begin printing identity cards for Ghana Journalists Association members this week following finalized negotiations with sponsorship from KGL Group.
The initiative ends a 10-year stall in ID issuance due to past technical and financial challenges. Members must submit passport-sized photographs with white backgrounds to [email protected], accompanied by full names, organizations, regions, and contact details.
Processing will follow submission order, prioritizing members in good standing as recently published in national dailies. GJA President Albert Kwabena Dwumfour confirmed the development, fulfilling an administrative promise made three years ago. “I am very excited to see this day come finally,” Dwumfour stated. “Members have been concerned about their ID cards. We thank Margins Group and KGL Group for helping us redeem this promise.”
The ID cards will feature secure identity solutions from Margins Group, which specializes in card manufacturing and digitalization services. Submissions require high-quality studio photographs, with selfies explicitly prohibited to ensure professional standards. Distribution logistics will commence immediately after printing completion.
This milestone addresses longstanding professional identification needs for Ghana’s media practitioners while demonstrating private sector support for journalist accreditation systems previously hampered by operational constraints.
