Description Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Stands for Courrier d’Entreprise à Distribution Exceptionnelle (business mail with special delivery) and is a special number assigned to organizations by the French Post.

CEDEX mail benefits from special delivery services. Large organizations have unique postal codes assigned to them. Smaller organizations have one postal code that multiple organizations share.

Monaco is included in the France postal code system, and in the CEDEX as well.

French postal code consists of five digits: NNNNN:

  • For metropolitan France 1-2 digits mean a number of the metropolitan department (from 01 to 95), 3-5 digits mean a number of the postal distribution areas organized by post offices located in that department.
  • outside metropolitan France: 1-3 digits - Overseas departments and collectivities; 4-5 digits - Postal distribution area organized by post offices located in that department or collectivity.

The CEDEX word is added after the postcode (it should be always uppercase).
