Addresses in Volta 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.
