Ghana Zip Code – What are the Zip and Postal Codes for Ghana?

What are Zip Codes?

Zip codes are strings of numbers (and sometimes letters) that help postal services determine where a piece of mail is being sent to.

ZIP in itself stands for Zone Improvement Plan and can vary between five or nine digits or numbers or a combination of numbers and letters.

Is Ghana Zip Code the same as Ghana Postal Code (PostCode)?

Ghana Zip code and Ghana postal code stands for a set of code that is used in sending letters, posts and deliveries to other locations.

The main difference between zip code and postal code is that zip code is a term used by United States sites while the postal code is used by other websites that are not US-based.

What is the Ghana Zip Code or Postal Code for Ghana?

Like the beginning of this article said, the zip and postal code for Ghana is a huge debate.

It is important to also note that it is very wrong to assume a Zip or Post Code for a whole country. By their mere design and definition, Zip Codes are for subdivisions of a country or larger area.

Therefore to even say “Ghana Zip Code” does not make a lot of sense.

That notwithstanding, some say that you should use 00233, others say 23321. However, we have to note that Zip Codes and Postal Codes are issued by the country’s government mailing service. In Ghana, we have Ghana Post.

GhanaPost recently launched the GhanaPostGPS App which provides a 5 x 5 addressing system for everywhere in Ghana. If you are filling a form for a Ghanaian online shop, I recommend you use the postcode provided in the GhanaPOST GPS App. You can download the app by clicking here: Download GhanaPostGPS App.

Using the Zip and Postal Code for Areas in Ghana

However, remember that when filling a form and you are providing your shipping or delivery address, you need to be very specific. The Ghana Postal Code alone will not deliver the package to you. You need to include your area name as well as a notable landmark if you do not trust your house number.
