letters are issued only after confirming an individual\u2019s eligibility and status. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018Management wishes to clarify that under the operational procedures of the National Service Authority, attestation letters are duly issued to service personnel after the Authority has confirmed the individual\u2019s eligibility and status,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>As such, these letters serve as an official confirmation of a person\u2019s national service status and are issued in accordance with the Authority\u2019s mandate to administer, regulate, and manage national service

as an official confirmation of an NSP national service status and is issued in line with the Authority\u2019s mandate to administer, regulate, and manage national service in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Authority emphasised that:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NSA attestation letters are valid official documents;<\/li>\n<li>They are issued only after thorough verification, and<\/li>\n<li>They are intended to temporarily serve the same purpose as the National Service Certificate when the certificate is unavailable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Organisations and stakeholders have
