Eastern Region postal codes
Last verified Sources
Addresses in Eastern Region use GhanaPostGPS digital addresses. GhanaPostGPS describes itself as "Ghana's official digital property addressing system"; it divides Ghana into 5m x 5m grid squares and gives each a unique digital address. A digital address looks like AK-039-5028.
How the address is built
Two parts: a postcode (e.g. AK-039) and a unique address number (e.g. 5028). Postcode = region letter + district letter + area number. Written like AK-039-5028 / GA-543-0125.
AK-039-5028 is the Kumasi Main Post Office: A = Ashanti Region, K = Kumasi district, AK-039 = postal code for the area, 5028 = unique address within it.
How to find your digital address
Install the free GhanaPostGPS app (Google Play / App Store), register and verify, turn on phone location, open the app and tap the button; the address appears next to "Digital Address". On a computer use www.ghanapostgps.com.
Stand in front of the property. Green = within 3–9 m (best), yellow = 10–20 m, red = more than 20 m. Aim for within 3 m.
No payment to download or use the app (standard data charges apply). No offline version of the app at the time of reading.
