What does Brazilian CEP mean?<\/h2>\n

C\u00f3digo de Endere\u00e7amento Postal or CEP is the system which unites all Brazilian ZIP codes. Most cities with population around 100,000 and above have such codes. It helps to identify every public place and some high-occupancy private spaces.<\/p>\n

Complete postal code database in Brazil is called DNE. It contains extended information about all Brazilian ZIP codes.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How many digits are in CEP?<\/h2>\n

Brazilian postal codes can be represented in two valid formats:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 5-digit postcodes;<\/li>\n
  • 5-digit postcodes + 3 additional digits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    8-digit format appeared in 1992. Since that moment CEP has allowed more precise localization. 5-digit code followed by the suffix -000 usually belong to small towns are assigned a general while for large cities is enough to write only 5 general numbers.<\/p>\n

    For correct spelling it is necessary to write a hyphen between digital combinations of ZIP code in this order: five digits, a hyphen, and the new three digits at the end. For example: 53244-505.<\/p>\n

    CEP structure<\/h2>\n

    Each code of CEP system consists of such parts:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The first digit represents code belonging to one of ten postal areas, which divide Brazil (counting counter-clockwise from the state of S\u00e3o Paulo).<\/li>\n
    • The second digit means the sub-region.<\/li>\n
    • The following three numbers represent the sector, sub-sector and sub-sector division.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The last three numbers after the hyphen are known as suffixes. They can show exact avenues, roads, parks and squares within a municipality. The range of these three digits is from 000 to 999.<\/p>\n
