DigiAddress: Digital Postcode

DigiAddress is a digital postcode system designed for countries without modern addressing infrastructure. It generates unique, permanent digital address codes with a consistent structure that is easy for people and digital systems to read and use.

Unlike ordinary location sharing, a DigiAddress is not used as a temporary GPS point. Each code is permanently assigned to one specific building, plot, or other fixed addressable place and does not change.

HOW A DIGIADDRESS WORKS

DigiAddress uses a structured, human-friendly address format.

For example:

NG ED 1 AA 1 AA

NG → ED → 1 → AA → 1 → AA

Country → State → LGA → Zone → Sub-Zone → Building

NG = Nigeria

ED = Edo State

1 = Local Government Area

AA = Zone

1 = Sub-Zone

AA = Building Identifier

Each part narrows the address until one specific building, plot, or other addressable place is identified.

Instead of long GPS coordinates or lengthy descriptive directions, DigiAddress provides a short, structured address that people and digital systems can use.

No street-name descriptions required. No landmark-based directions needed. Just one digital address for your building or plot.

FIND YOUR ADDRESS FIRST

In areas where DigiAddresses have already been generated, your building or plot may already have an address.

Use Find My Address to check before creating one.

You can discover the DigiAddress assigned to your building or plot, select the correct building or plot on the map, and create an address only when one does not already exist.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THE DIGIADDRESS APP

• Find My Address — discover the DigiAddress already assigned to your building or plot

• Create an Address — generate a DigiAddress if your building or plot does not already have one

• Search by DigiAddress Code — enter a DigiAddress code to find the building or plot assigned to that code

• Share Your DigiAddress Code — share your short digital address instead of lengthy descriptive directions

• Navigate Using a DigiAddress Code — enter a code and get turn-by-turn directions to the building or plot you want to reach

• Navigate Offline — download maps and routing data and navigate without an internet connection

ONLINE AND OFFLINE NAVIGATION

DigiAddress includes in-app navigation.

Users can download maps and routing data in advance and navigate using DigiAddress codes without an active internet connection.

This is especially useful in rural and remote areas where mobile network coverage may be weak or unavailable.

ADDRESS VERIFICATION

DigiAddress can also support address verification.

Where verification services are available, an occupant can claim the DigiAddress assigned to their building through the DigiAddress verification process.

Verified occupant information can be linked to the address for approved verification purposes. Personal occupant information is not displayed as part of the public DigiAddress code.

BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD ADDRESSING

DigiAddress can support:

• Navigation

• Deliveries and logistics

• Utility and service delivery

• Emergency response

• Address verification

• Government and institutional services

COVERAGE AND GROWTH

More than 2 million DigiAddresses have been generated.

Current coverage includes Nigeria and The Gambia.

Coverage continues to expand as more buildings, plots, and other addressable places are included in the system.

ONE CODE. ONE FIXED ADDRESSABLE PLACE.

DigiAddress provides a consistent way to identify buildings and plots without depending entirely on street names, house numbers, or descriptive directions.

Find your DigiAddress. Share your code. Use it for navigation, service delivery, and address verification — online or offline.
