CEDEX
What is the purpose of Cedex as part of the mailing address? Should you include it? What if it has a number after it?

According to my dictionary = courrier d'enterprise à distribution exceptionnelle (accelerated postal service for bulk users). In cities they may have several such boxes, hence the numbers.
So, it's probably worth quoting - depending on whether you want your letter, or your règlement, to be delivered quickly.

Wiki gives it as
CEDEX
There is also a system known as CEDEX, Courrier d'Entreprise à Distribution EXceptionnelle,
designed for recipients of large volumes of mail. A postal code is allocated to each large
organisation or to post office box holders, ending in three unique digits, for example:
12 rue de Broquedis
64205 Biarritz CEDEX
CEDEX should always be written in capitals. It may be followed by a number,
if the town has more than one post office, or if it is split into arrondissements.
Ordinary deliveries would be addressed to:
12 rue de Broquedis
64200 Biarritz
It is acceptable to include a boîte postale (post office box) number as well as the
street address in CEDEX addresses.

CEDEX is always used by Airline companies and their related companies. Since their business needs quick shipments on their mail, they always list CEDEX on their addresses.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll leave it off when I post chequesDaveM wrote:Similar to the Post Office Box system in the UK.
In my, limited, experience CEDEX applies to banks and to the CPAM, though the CPAM also supply you with a BP (Boîte Postal) address, too. Bit overkill.
Hey ho, French bureaucracy?
Like I said, how soon do you want them to cash your cheque?

CEDEX is automatically diverted to an alternative delivery system. If the address has a CEDEX after the (special CEDEX-linked) postal code, it may end up as lost (at least temporarily). That may be OK for your cheque payment delay on the one hand - BUT if the payment date is linked to deadline overrun sanctions, it may mean you either lose what is "paid" for - or you end up paying a forfeit (as in late tax payments) which is not too productive!
