Ghana zip code is derived from the ZIP Code postal code used by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Introduced in 1963, the basic format consisted of five digits.

History
The country as a country did not have official postal codes. Originally, codes used when filling forms included codes starting in zero. The expanded codes were the last four digits. They indicate the rural route region, building, or the specific location that the mail is to be delivered.
Some of the generated ones included 00233 and 23321. Anyone can use these either when shopping online or when filling online forms. Now that the GhanaPostGPS app can provide you with an alphanumeric address with a proper 5 digit Ghana’s zip code, or Ghana Postal code – the Ghana zip code 00233 may not be necessary or fit for purpose.
Establishment of Ghana Post GPS
After several years of using the Ghana zip code 00233 – the government and Ghana Post introduced what is called the GhanaPostGPS app around late 2017.
Sponsored by the government of Ghana and developed by Vokacom, to provide digital addresses and postal codes for every 5 squared meter location in Ghana. This was incorporated by Parliament Act 505 in 1995 August hence the separation from the telecom company. It has become successful over the years hence the company’s growth. It is the leading courier industry in the country.
The digital address is a composite of the postcode (region, district & area code) plus a unique address. GhanaPostGPS translates your GPS location to a user-friendly digital address.
The new Ghana Postal code can be created by the GhanaPostGPS app.
So far, 7.5 million unique digital property addresses have been identified by LUSPA
Present
The government of Ghana is in discussion with Google to upload the database of the country’s Digital Property Addressing System onto Google Map. The databases of the Ghana Digital Property Addressing System and the National Identification Authority will also be synchronized, to enable every citizen to access government services and fight crime.
So far, 7.5 million unique digital property addresses have been identified by the Land Use and Spatial Planning Authority (LUSPA) while four million address plates had been printed for embossment on houses or properties across the country.
The unique digital address plate has the house number, street name, Ghana Post digital address, and QR Code for every particular house or property
This makes Ghana’s zip code something of a reality.

- Ghana’s postal codes are alphanumeric. The first two characters form the postcode district – the first letter represents the region, and the second character represents the district in which the address is located. The next three to five digits (not shown in this table) represent the postcode area and identify a more precise location within a 5-meter square area.
