About Postal Codes in Northern Region
The GhanaPostGPS system assigns each Ghanaian district a two-letter postal code that identifies its location within the country’s digital addressing framework. In the Northern Region, codes begin with N for the region, followed by a second letter or number for each district. For example, NT is the code for Tamale Metropolitan District, the region’s largest urban centre, while NB represents Bole District, and NY stands for Yendi Municipal District.
Other districts like Sagnerigu (NS), Savelugu-Nanton (NU), East Mamprusi (NE), and North Gonja (N2) each have unique codes that help postal workers and delivery services route mail and parcels accurately. These two-letter codes are part of each full GhanaPostGPS digital address, which also includes specific grid coordinates for precise location.
