While Sin was seemingly not actively worshiped in [[Early Dynastic Period (Mesopotamia)|Early Dynastic]] [[Lagash]], he appears among the deities invoked in an oath formula on the [[Stele of the Vultures]], as well as in both Sumerian and Akkadian theophoric names identified in sources from this area, such as Amar-Suen and Puzur-Suen.{{sfn|Selz|1995|p=275}} Later on [[Naram-Sin of Akkad|Naram-Sin]] might have built a temple dedicated to him in nearby [[Girsu]].{{sfn|George|1993|p=169}}

In [[Tell_Uqair#Urum|Urum]] Sin was worshiped in a temple known under the ceremonial name Eablua, "house of teeming cattle".{{sfn|George|1993|p=64}} According to [[Andrew R. George]] the Edublamaḫ, "house, exalted door socket", which was built in this city by Nāqimum of the [[Manana Dynasty|Mananā Dynasty]] near [[Kish (Sumer)|Kish]] was also dedicated to him.{{sfn|George|1993|p=79}}

[[Akshak]] was seemingly also regarded as a cult center of Sin, as evidenced by references to a ''sanga'' priest of this god residing there, as well as by the theophoric name <sup>d</sup>EN.ZU-LUGAL-''Akšak<sup>ki</sup>'', "Sin in the king of Akshak".{{sfn|Krebernik|1997|p=368}}

In [[Sippar]] Sin is well documented in sources from the Old Babylonian period, appearing there for the first time on a seal from the reign of the local king {{ill|Immerum|de}}, a contemporary of [[Sumu-la-El]] of Babylon.{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=373}} He had a temple in this city, Eidimanna, "house, bond of heaven".{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=374}} However, no references to his cult occur in documents from later periods, and he is only attested again in this city during the reign of [[Nabonidus]].{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=373}} It is not certain if this ruler reintroduced him to the city, or if he only promoted the status of a minor cult which existed there all along but was not referenced directly in available sources.{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|pp=375-376}} Sin continued to be worshiped in Sippar under [[Achaemenid Empire|Persian]] rule as well.{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=376}}

In [[Larsa]] Sin was worshiped in a temple shared with [[Ningal]] in the Old Babylonian period, but no references to him occur in sources from this city from later times.{{sfn|Hätinen|2021|p=377}}

Sin and Ningal at some point replaced [[Inanna]] and [[Dumuzi]] as the tutelary deities of Kissig.{{sfn|George|1993|p=33}}
