Verification Appointment Booking
Important note: Documents that are mandatory visa requirements are superlegalized during a residence permit application submission and therefore are not subject to the need to register a separate appointment for their superlegalization at the Embassy´s Verification booking system.
Registration for superlegalization procedures takes place on the 23rd day of each month regardless the fact it falls on the working day, week-end or holiday. Registration is always opened on the day from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Ghanaian time. The dates for appointments are assigned for the following month. Each month 40 slots are allocated.
This registration does not apply to documents that will be submitted with the visa application and that need to be superlegalized (extract from the criminal record, registry documents, etc.). These will be superlegalize during the visa application process. So there is no need to book a special date to superlegalize them.
Please note if you decide to authorize a 3rd person who would come and submit the documents for verification on your behalf, the information must be stated in the registration e-mail and the person must must present power of attorney as well.
To register, follow strictly the instructions below:
1. Send the request for an appointment for the superlegalization act only on the above date and to: Accra.Verification@mzv.gov.cz*. E-mails received outside the registration hours will not be considered. We recommend sending applications in the first hours of the registration period rather than at the end, as the time of receipt of the application is decisive.
2. In the subject of the e-mail, please state: ONLY the applicant's passport number.
3. In the content of the e-mail, please state ONLY a) the applicant´s full name (as stated in the passport), b) contact phone number and c) personal e-mail and attach separately attachments ONLY in .pdf format: a scan of the passport, a scan of the document(s) you wish to superlegalize, and a power of attorney in case the documents will be submitted by a third person. The scan of the documents must be complete, i.e. including verification by the relevant Ghanaian authorities (see chapter Authentication of Documents), and must not be separated into multiple attachments. A document submitted for superlegalization must not contain other documents, such as copies of passports, identification cards, confirmations, recommendations, attestations, etc. Do not add any supplementary comments or messages.
4. 1 applicant = 1 e-mail. Please send only one e-mail. Only one applicant can be registered per e-mail. Maximum 3 documents are accepted for superlegalisation within one registration.
5. The selection of applicantions for superlegalization will be assigned using a software random element. The number of appointments is determined by the capacity of the consular section of the Embassy.
6. The following e-mails will be excluded from registration and further processing:
1) e-mails that are not sent in the format referred to in points 2 and 3,
2) e-mails by which the applicant tries to register multiple applicants at the same time
3) e-mails that one applicant sends several times,
4) e-mails sent to another e-mail address,
5) e-mails with attachments larger than 10 MB.
7. The dates for the superlegalization will be announced by e-mail within one week of the registration date.
8. Applicants who have not been allocated an appointment for capacity reasons will be informed by e-mail within one week.
9. The assigned date cannot be changed. If you do not show up, your appointment will be forfeited. If you arrive late without prior apology, your appointment will also be forfeited – in this case, the consulate will already attend to other applicants who arrived on time. In both cases, it is necessary to apply for a new deadline for submitting the application.
Please note that attempts to send mass registrations using software tools may be considered spam by the anti-spam security of the domain mzv.gov.cz in order to ensure the functionality of the system for all applicants, as a result of which such registrations will not be taken into account.
In case of successful registration, you will be informed of the specific date by e-mail sent to the contact e-mail address specified in the booking e-mail. The deadline is fixed and cannot be changed in any way.
