ID Rescue Ghana and FasterCapital Join Equitypilot to Digitize Police Extracts Nationwide
Accra, Ghana & Dubai, UAE - Nov 19, 2025
ID Rescue Ghana and FasterCapital today announced a strategic partnership through the Equitypilot program to rapidly deploy a national DigitalPoliceExtractService across Ghana, addressing lost/replace ID workflows and supporting the government’s 24-Hour Economy policy via technology, funding, go-to-market and regulatory engagement.
Market opportunity & problem statement
Over 50,000 Ghanaians lose ID documents annually; manual police extract issuance is slow, informal and productivity-draining. National ID reissuance demand exceeds current capacity, creating long queues and fraud risk. With rising mobile adoption and Ghana’s push for digital transformation, a secure, nationwide digital extract service represents a clear white space opportunity to reduce processing costs, speed access, and centralize revenue.
Startup solution & differentiation
ID Rescue Ghana’s Digital Police Extract Service is a fully online platform enabling requests, verification, QR/digital-signature validation and auto-generated IGP-signed PDFs usable for GhanaCard, passport and driver’s license re-issuance. Features include 24-hour premium processing, multi-language voice transcription (Twi, Ga, Dagomba, Hausa), integrated national payments and audited backend dashboards for Ministry oversight. Pilot-ready with regional rollout plans, the service reduces processing time to under 10 minutes and eliminates paper printing costs while improving fraud prevention and traceability.
FasterCapital partnership value
Selected into FasterCapital’s Equitypilot for its strong product-market fit and national impact potential, IDRescueGhana will access mentoring, product refinement, business development, and capital-raising support from FasterCapital. FasterCapital’s selective criteria, global accelerator resources and investor network will accelerate the pilot across Accra, Kumasi, Sekondi-Takoradi and Tamale and support a five-month national rollout timeline.

FasterCapital’s expertise will help us deliver a secure, inclusive service that supports Ghana’s 24-Hour Economy and reduces citizen time lost to queues.”
Growth trajectory & next steps
Near-term priorities include a 4-week pilot setup in four regional capitals, backend officer training, and a national rollout over five months. IDRescueGhana aims for 100,000 applications in year one and ongoing integrations with NHIA, DLVA and Passport Office; follow-on funding will support scaling, analytics and regional expansion.
