Post office and public place

For the Correios addressing system, the public company responsible for sending and delivering mail in Brazil, street address is directly associated with the address.

When searching for a CEP (Postal Address Code) on the Correios website, the following options are considered as the address:

In certain records, in the street field, only information related to the type and name of the place is required, for example: Rua 25 de Março. Subsequently, if the spaces intended for complements such as block, lot and neighborhood do not appear, it is assumed that the complete address and adjacent information must go in the “street address” field.

However, in most cases, the registration options are subdivided, leaving only the type and name of the place for the street field.
