# French CEDEX address line (`fr_cedex`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Last line of a French address for the CEDEX service (Courrier d'Entreprise à Distribution EXceptionnelle) of La Poste for organisations with large mail volumes - a 5-digit CEDEX code, the name of the delivery office in capitals and the word CEDEX, sometimes followed by a one- or two-digit number. Sirene splits it into a code (codeCedexEtablissement), which looks like a postcode, and a label.
