New postcode in Lagos

Buildings now also get their own 11-character digital postcode from NIPOST. Most forms still ask for the 6-digit code on this page. There is no conversion between the two: your building's new code comes only from NIPOST's lookup.

How postal codes work in Lagos

Nigeria's 6-digit postal codes cover an area, not a building. The codes we list for Lagos run from 100211 to 106104, and all start with 1. The same code is often shared by several neighbouring streets, and one LGA can have many codes.

NIPOST's new 11-character postcodes for Lagos start with the prefix LA (NIPOST's state code table). The rest of the code identifies the LGA, district, area and building, so each building has its own. There is no conversion from the 6-digit codes.

Lagos postal code FAQs

What is the postal code for Lagos?

Lagos has no single postal code. Each area has its own 6-digit code, and we list 106 of them across 19 LGAs. For example, Bungalow Estate is 100264. Use the table above to find yours.

What is the new postcode prefix for Lagos?

NIPOST's new 11-character postcodes for Lagos start with LA, followed by the LGA, district, area and building parts. Each building has its own code, found on postcode.gov.ng.

Should I use the old code or the new postcode?

Most forms still ask for the 6-digit code. The new 11-character postcode identifies one building, and there is no conversion between the two. Old vs new postcode.

Is this the NIPOST website?

No. This is an independent guide, not affiliated with NIPOST or the Federal Government. NIPOST's postcode lookup is postcode.gov.ng.

  2. Hi what is my ZIP code

    Isaiah asked on · 3 people asked this

    Nigerian postcodes are set by area, not by a single ZIP code. Lagos State has 20 LGAs, and each has its own 6-digit postal area codes, which are listed on the Lagos State page. If you tell us your street or area, we can point you to the right code there. For a building-level postcode, use the official NIPOST finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find.
