About Postal Codes in Ashanti Region
Ashanti Region uses the GhanaPostGPS alphanumeric postal code system, where each postal code consists of two characters: the first identifying the region (A for Ashanti Region) and the second identifying the district within the region. For example, AK is the postal code prefix for Kumasi Metropolitan District, which includes the regional capital Kumasi. Similarly, AO refers to the Obuasi Municipal District, and AM to Mampong Municipal District.
These alphanumeric codes are used together with a unique address suffix to form a complete GhanaPostGPS digital address that can pinpoint a specific property or location. This system makes it easy to address mail, receive deliveries, and identify locations not only in urban centres like Kumasi and Obuasi but also in smaller districts like Bosomtwe (AT), Ahafo Ano North (AX), and Sekyere South (AZ).
