Ghana postal codes and GhanaPostGPS
Last verified Sources
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.
Greater Accra Region codes shown on the homepage: Accra GA, Ashaiman GB, Ada East GY, Ga Central GC, Ada West GX, Ga East GE, Adentan GD, Ga South GS.
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.
Official apps: Google Play · App Store
The old 6-digit codes
FAQ: a code such as 200543 has "2" = region (Greater Accra) and "00" = district (Accra Metro); the same 200 has been converted to GA for the digital address.
Every location already has an address; after moving, generate the address of the new location. Street name, district, postcode and region are shown under the digital address.
