Door Number on Hubbuy: How to Enter a Brazilian Address

Translate address fields by their function

Neighborhood, city, and state should each go in their own field when those fields exist. Do not repeat information in different fields merely to fill every space.

Enter only the property's identifier

If the address is “Avenida Paulista, 123, Loja B,” the street is “Avenida Paulista,” the number is “123,” and the additional address detail is “Loja B.” Correios explains that the number identifies the property where the item should be delivered.

Do not enter the apartment number in the property-number field when the building has a different street number. In “Rua Exemplo, 450, bloco 2, ap. 31,” the number is 450; block 2 and apartment 31 belong in the additional address details.

Use additional address details to locate the unit within the property

Include the apartment, block, tower, house, office, shop, rear unit, or structural reference needed. Be brief and specific. If the field has a character limit, prioritize the details that distinguish the unit. Avoid lengthy delivery instructions that may be cut off on the label.

Use plain characters when the form rejects accents, but do not translate proper street or neighborhood names. Keep the telephone number, including its area code, in its dedicated field and confirm the recipient's full name.

Confirm that all fields describe the same location

A Brazilian postal code has eight digits. Correios emphasizes that it guides sorting and should match the street address. Use the Busca CEP lookup when uncertain and compare the street, neighborhood, city, and state. Do not use an approximate postal code from another area.

In “state/province,” enter the state abbreviation when the form accepts it, such as SP, RJ, or MG. In “city,” enter the municipality. “District” or “neighborhood” usually means the neighborhood, not the state.

Use the designation adopted for the actual address

Correios recommends “s/n” for streets without numbered properties. If the form accepts only digits or blocks the abbreviation, do not quietly invent a number. Contact the platform's support and confirm how the final label will represent an address without a number.

A location reference does not replace the postal code, street, city, and recipient. When a rural address or residential complex has its own instructions, confirm the format normally used for other deliveries.

Read the label as a delivery worker would

1. Recipient's full name.
2. Street or avenue with its official name.
3. Correct property number.
4. Additional address details sufficient to locate the unit.
5. Consistent neighborhood, city, state, and postal code.
6. Telephone number with area code, if requested.

Also review the address saved in your account and the address selected for the parcel. Correcting your account details does not guarantee that an already-created parcel has been updated. Keep a screenshot of the final version without publicly exposing personal information.
