Your Ghana Post GPS digital address is a short code for your exact location, like GA-543-0125. You need it for SIM registration, bank accounts, deliveries and many forms. Getting it takes a minute.

How it works

GhanaPostGPS divides Ghana into 5m × 5m squares and gives each one a unique digital address. The app works out which square you are standing in.

Get your address in the app

  1. Install GhanaPostGPS from Google Play or the App Store (it is free).
  2. Register and verify your phone number.
  3. Turn on your phone’s location.
  4. Stand at your house, ideally at the main entrance.
  5. Tap the button to generate your address.
  6. Check the accuracy shown; aim for within 3 metres.
  7. Save the code and write it down.

  • Use the same code consistently on all forms.
  • Share it with delivery riders to save phone calls.

Common questions

Is the GhanaPostGPS app free?

Yes. Officials say it is free to download and use.

What does a digital address look like?

Two letters for the region and district area, then numbers, for example GA-543-0125.

Can I get my address without the app?

You can use ghanapostgps.com on a computer. One source says USSD access exists for feature phones; check the official site.

Why does my address change slightly each time?

Each address covers a 5m × 5m square, so standing a few metres away can give a different code. Stand at your main entrance with good accuracy.
