Quick start
KDA in a few minutes
Get, use, share and navigate with a Karaar Digital Address — the short version.
1How do I get a KDA address?
Register → Locate → Verify → Receive your KDA address. You register the place and mark its entrance on the map; an authorised KDA field verifier confirms it on site; the registry issues the code.
Create your account2How do I share it?
Give the code itself — MQHD-##### — by message, on a plaque, on a form. For a business or public place, the public map link opens it directly. A home's code opens nothing public: you decide who receives it.
Explore the map3How do I navigate to one?
Search a public code on the Explore Map and press Navigate; it opens your maps app at the entrance the KDA marks — not the middle of the plot.
Open the Explore Map4How do residential addresses stay private?
Homes are never listed, searchable or confirmable on the public map. Only the person who holds a residential code, and the people they give it to, can use it. Businesses, institutions and public places are public by nature.
Privacy questions5What is the difference between a KDA address and a Karaar Routing Code?
The KDA address (four letters, five digits) names one place. The Karaar Routing Code is a separate numeric code for the routing or service area the place sits in — used for sorting and dispatch. Both appear on the complete address.
Karaar Routing Code Guide6How do I use the complete address for delivery?
Write it in this order: recipient, KDA address, unit (if any), district and city, region, Karaar Routing Code, SOMALIA, telephone. The block below is the template; the Regions page fills it in for any district.
Build it for your district7What happens when a building has units?
The building has one KDA address. Each unit is written on the line directly under the code — Unit 201 — so a delivery reaches the door, not just the building. Single-unit properties leave that line out.
