Legacy System (6-Digit)

The original Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) system consists of 6 numeric digits:

1st digit: Dispatch Zone (e.g. 1 for Lagos/Ogun).
2nd & 3rd digits: Dispatch district for sorting.
Last 3 digits: Delivery location (post office, urban area, or rural delivery facility).

New Digital System (11-Char)

Starting October 1, 2026, Nigeria transitions to the building-level National Digital Postcode System (NDPC):

State & LGA: First 4 characters.
District & Area: Middle 5 characters.
Building: Final 2 digits pinpoints the exact GIS-located front door.
