Goku Justice - 30th January 2026

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has issued a swift and important notice to all applicants involved in the ongoing recruitment exercise, particularly those awaiting a call-up for medical examination. The directive is part of measures being taken to strengthen verification and data validation processes ahead of the next stages of recruitment.
According to the notice, all applicants who are currently waiting for medical examination and other processes are required to visit the official GAF recruitment portal to update their passport picture. Applicants have been clearly instructed that the passport photograph to be uploaded must be the exact same image used during the initial registration, and it must have a plain white background.

The Armed Forces explained that this update is necessary to avoid discrepancies in applicant records, which could lead to unnecessary delays or complications in subsequent stages of the recruitment process. It is therefore not a routine exercise but a critical requirement tied directly to the medical examination call-up and beyond.
To guide applicants, the Ghana Armed Forces outlined the process for updating the passport picture on the recruitment portal as follows:
1. Visit the official Ghana Armed Forces recruitment portal using the approved link. https://recruit.apply.mil.gh/track-application-progress
2. Enter your Application Number or GAF ID number to log in.
3. Request a One-Time Password (OTP), which will be sent to the phone number used during registration.
4. Enter the OTP and patiently allow the portal to load fully after login.
5. Click on the section displaying your passport picture on the dashboard.
6. Select and upload the exact passport photograph used during registration, ensuring it has a white background.
7. Save the changes to complete the update process.
