  "title": "Ghana Card Application Form 1-A (Form One)",
  "description": "Ghana's national form for applying for a Ghana Card (national identity card) — \"Form One\", printed as made under \"regulation 3(1)\" (the form's own header citation; the specific regulations instrument is not further identified on the form itself), and administered by the National Identification Authority (NIA), a statutory body established by the National Identification Authority Act, 2006 (Act 707). The form serves citizens, permanently resident non-citizens, persons with a residence permit, and refugees alike, and covers first-time issuance as well as update, replacement, and re-issue of a previously issued card. Opens Ghana as the registry's 41st jurisdiction, via the National ID & Civic Documents vertical. This schema models the form's full applicant-facing content across both pages: applicant/request type, personal particulars (name, sex, marital status, height, colour of eyes/hair, disability code, level of education), birth/nationality particulars and place of birth/hometown, occupation, residential address, up to 14 languages spoken, the applicant's parentage (father's and mother's particulars, including whether each is alive), next of kin, a bounded list of up to 5 spouses (the form's own footnote directs applicants with more spouses to a separate \"Spouses Form\"), non-citizen-only particulars (residence-permit and employer details), the verification document presented, dual-citizenship-only particulars, contact numbers and email, a set of institutional ID numbers (SSNIT, Voter ID, Passport, National Health Insurance, Driver's Licence, Tax Identification Number), and the applicant's declaration. It deliberately does NOT model three widgets that are populated by NIA staff during in-person registration rather than supplied by the applicant (the \"MRW Number\", \"Registration Centre Number\", and \"Interviewer NID No.\" fields printed in the form's header strip), nor the raw signature/thumbprint capture widget — consistent with this registry's general practice of excluding staff-populated and raw-biometric-capture widgets. Applying for a Ghana Card requires in-person attendance at an NIA registration centre for biometric capture; this schema does not submit the application itself, and the live source (nia.gov.gh) is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Republic of Ghana or the National Identification Authority.",

    "notes": "GovSchema Standard Research cycle GOV-2510 (child of GOV-2507). Opens Ghana's National ID & Civic Documents vertical (1 of 6), via NIA's 'Form One' (regulation 3(1)), the National Identity Card Application Form. Fetched directly from nia.gov.gh (HTTP 200, application/pdf, 498,907 bytes, sha256:3f401681db2e6d1f39fcc16b78c6b69a71d81a43075789513de29d00593bc5fa, Last-Modified 2026-02-16), re-confirmed live and unauthenticated at verification time. The GOV-2510 issue's inherited claim of a 'byte-identical mirror at fims.org.gh' did not hold up on independent re-check: that path 404s, and fims.org.gh in fact hosts a different NIA form entirely (the Non-Citizen/Refugee Ghana Card application), not a mirror of this schema's source PDF — disclosed as a correction rather than repeated; the issue's 129-widget field-count claim, by contrast, did independently reproduce exactly against this schema's own from-scratch pdfjs-dist extraction (84 widgets page 1, 45 page 2). Unlike several other jurisdictions' forms in this registry, most widgets carry descriptive, self-documenting internal field names rather than generic XFA tokens, though coordinate-correlation against getTextContent() was still needed for repeated generic names (Village/Village_2.../Country/Country_2.../District/District_2...) and two ambiguous, effectively unlabelled widgets. Every Tx widget's own AcroForm charLimit was read via getFieldObjects() and used directly as validation.maxLength; this surfaced that all nationality-family fields and the 14 language-spoken blanks carry charLimit 3, and sex carries charLimit 2 — physical constraints too narrow for free text, so sex is modelled as an M/F enum (a deliberate departure from this registry's usual string-only default for unlabelled-option fields, justified here by a structural AcroForm fact rather than a visual estimate) and nationality/language fields as 3-character short-code strings. 129 widgets reconcile to 123 fields[] + 1 documents[] entry: 4 widgets (MRW Number, Registration Centre Number, Interviewer NID No., and the raw signature/thumbprint capture widget) are excluded as staff-populated or raw-biometric-capture, consistent with this registry's general practice, and the two genuine two-option AcroForm radio fields (Is Father/Mother alive) each collapse to one boolean field. Four checkbox groups (applicant type, request type, marital status, education level) are each independent Btn widgets, not true radio fields, and are modelled as N boolean fields plus an exclusivityGroups entry enforcing 'at most one true'; the form's own mandatory '*' marking (\"exactly one\") is disclosed in prose since exclusivityGroups only expresses the 'at most one' half. Non-citizen-only and dual-citizenship-only sections carry a visibleWhen keyed off applicantTypeCitizen, a disclosed inference from the section headings. The spouse list is bounded at 5, per the form's own printed escape hatch to a separate 'Spouses Form' for a 6th+ spouse. Confirmed via a fresh web search that the National Identification Authority Act, 2006 (Act 707) establishes NIA and that the National Identity Register Act, 2008 (Act 750) — the exact instrument the form's own declaration text cites for its Section 40 penalty — remains the governing statute, with NIA confirmed as a live, currently operating agency in 2026. See VERIFICATION.md for the full sourcing record, field-scoping decisions, and the conformance run writeup (2 valid fixtures, 0 errors each; 5 mutation-control fixtures, exactly 1 error each, including a dedicated exclusivityGroups-violation case)."
