Since it is now incorporated into nearly all of the Ghanaian government’s official applications, the GhanaPostGPS App is here to stay. This applies to applications for passports, the Ghana Card, land registrations, and even the establishment of new businesses. How to Get a Digital Address in Ghana is shown below.
We are here to clarify and make the process of creating digital addresses more understandable for those who still do not know how to do so.
What is GhanaPostGPS?
GhanaPostGPS is a global addressing system that divides Ghana into grids of 5 meter x 5 meter squares and assigns each one a unique address using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.
It now includes an application allowing all Ghanaians and residents to authenticate their home and business locations to develop a national address registry for easier navigation and identification.
