About Postal Codes in Upper East Region
In Ghana, the GhanaPostGPS postal code system assigns each district a two-letter postal code that identifies its region and delivery area. The first letter denotes the region (U for Upper East Region), and the second letter identifies the specific district within the region. For example, UA is the postal code for Bawku Municipal, one of the largest urban centres in the region, while UB represents the Bolgatanga Municipal, the regional capital.
Other districts such as Garu-Tempane (UG), Kassena Nankana East (UK), Builsa North (UR), and Talensi (UT) each have their own unique codes to help postal workers and delivery services route mail and parcels efficiently. Smaller districts including Binduri (UU) and Pusiga (UP) are also covered under this system, ensuring addresses across the Upper East Region are precise and easy to locate.
