Verify a licence

Enter the licence number printed on the certificate, its institution number, or scan the code on the certificate. This page answers one question: does the department's record show that licence, and is it still in force?

Answer

The department's record, read at 22:56 Ghana time on 01 Nov 2026.

Nothing has been asked of the register yet. Use the form beside this page. A search by name alone is not accepted: a name does not prove anything about a particular piece of paper.

The register is the department's licensing record. It does not certify quality, and a centre can be visited between renewals. Concerns about a centre are reported to the District Social Welfare Office, not settled here.

Check a certificate

The number is printed beside the coat of arms.
Either is enough. Spaces are ignored.

What the statuses mean

Active in force; the centre may operate until the expiry date shown.

Expired the period has ended. A centre operating on an expired licence is not properly licensed.

Suspended the permission is held back while a defect is put right; the centre may not operate meanwhile.

Revoked withdrawn after a finding. The centre must make a fresh application.

Closed the centre has stopped and the licence has been retired. The record remains.
