Brazil's Postal Code Format

Brazil uses a "CEP" system, which is an eight-digit numeric format like 99999-999, with a hyphen separating the fifth and sixth digits. This means it uses only numbers. According to the GeoPostcodes world postal code database, Brazil has 1,317,168 postal codes covering 6,187 regions and 11,161 towns. The local term for 'postal code' in Brazil is CEP. This format is similar to numeric US ZIP codes as both are numeric, but US ZIP codes are five digits long compared to Brazil's eight-digit format with a hyphen.

  • CEP Format: 99999-999

    • Numeric format, 8 digits with a dash after the fifth digit.
    • Postal codes can identify areas as small as street segments or even individual buildings
    • 1,317,168 postcodes covering 6,187 regions and 11,161 towns

    Example:

    • 09599-899 - São Paulo
  • Structure of Postal Codes

    • Format: 99999-999, numeric
    • Hierarchical levels: The first five digits represent a hierarchy of postal regions: region, subregion, postal sector, postal subsector. These sectors correspond to postal divisions rather than administrative boundaries. The last three digits define the specific delivery unit.
    • Key challenges: Micropostal codes change frequently as cities expand. Postal codes may be split into several smaller codes over time.
  • Management & Authority

    • Primary postal authority: Correios (Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos).
  • Addressing Standards

    • Common address format: [Street Name + House Number], [Suburb + Administrative Region], [City Name + State Abbreviation], [Postal Code]
    • Example address: Rua Afonso Camargo, 805, GUARAPUAVA – PR, 85070-200
    • Notes: Neighborhoods are essential in Brazilian addresses, helping distinguish streets with the same name within a municipality.
  • Special Characteristics

    • In cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, postal codes often correspond to street segments (blocks between intersections).
    • Large buildings, universities, factories, or major companies can receive dedicated postal codes; smaller cities often have one postal code per neighborhood or group of streets.
    • Very small localities use generic postal codes, where the last three digits are 000.
