What is CEP?
CEP is the acronym for “ Postal Address Code ”. It is a numerical code used by the Post Office to identify and classify the locations where correspondence and parcels are delivered throughout Brazil.

The ZIP code is always made up of eight digits, the first five referring to the location (city, neighborhood, street) and the last three to the street or street address.

How do I find the zip code and street name?
There are several ways to find the ZIP code of an address. One of the most common ways is through online search engines , such as the Search ZIP Code tool from the Brazilian Post Office.

To find the desired ZIP code, simply type the full address (street name, number, city and state) in the search field and the corresponding ZIP code will be displayed.

It is also possible to do the reverse and find out the name of the street from the zip code , if you only have the code and need to identify the complete address.

Post Office ZIP Code Search Engine
The Post Office offers a free ZIP code search service on its official website. To use it, simply access the " ZIP Code Search " page.", type the full address, choose the type of ZIP code from the menu and click on “ Search ”.

A list of all the results matching that address will be displayed, and then you just need to find the one that matches what you are looking for.
