How to Apply for a Gazette in Ghana – Full Requirements, Fees, and the New E-Gazette System
What is a Gazette?
A Gazette is the official government publication where all Acts, Legislative Instruments, land notices, and key government announcements are recorded. For any legal change—such as a name change, company registration, or marriage officer appointment—to be valid, it must be published in the Gazette.
Requirements to Apply for a Gazette
To apply, you will need:
-
A sworn affidavit – This serves as your statutory declaration for the change or notice you wish to publish.
-
Supporting documents – Depending on the request (e.g., proof of name change, company registration documents).
Features of the Gazette
-
Your name and application number will appear in the journal.
-
The publication includes the date, month, and year of issuance.
Processing Time & Fees
The duration for gazetting varies, with different pricing tiers:
-
24 hours (Fastest) – Higher fee
-
3 days – Moderate fee
-
3 weeks (Standard) – Lower fee
How to Apply
You can submit your application through:
-
Courts – Visit any court near you.
-
Post Offices – Many post offices have representatives who process applications.
-
Online (Coming Soon) – The e-Gazette system was launched in December 2024 but is still under construction. Once operational, it will allow direct uploads of affidavits and documents, reducing fraud and third-party interference.

Who Needs a Gazette?
Gazettes are required for:

✔ Correction of Spelling Errors in Official Documents
✔ Change of Date of Birth or Place of Birth
✔ Land Document Authentication
✔ Gazetting of Chiefs & Queen Mothers
✔ Marriage Officer Appointments

Why is Gazetting Important?
Without gazetting, certain legal documents (e.g., name changes, marriage officer appointments) will not be recognized by law. The process ensures transparency, prevents fraud, and validates official changes.
