A PEP Code is a postal code used by the Cartadanian National Postal Service (Cartadanian: Serviço Postal Nacional de Cartadania) (SPNC; CCor) in a system it introduced in 1905. The term PEP is an acronym for Plano de endereço postal, the Postal Address Plan. The basic format consists of five digits. An extended PEP+ code was introduced in 1950 which includes the five digits of the PEP Code, followed by a hyphen and four additional digits that reference a more specific location.
The system also introduced a new format in 2000, known PEPr (pronounced pepper) for bases, embassies, and federal possessions. This format is completely different from the standard PEP as it is alphanumeric and follows an A#A or A## format (e.g., Elentia Naval Station in northern Alexandria now has PEPr code A3G). This variant was introduced to allow the federal government to quickly decipher the location of an entity in lieu of using software.

PEP Codes are numbered with the first digit representing a certain group of jurisdictions, the second and third digits together representing a region in that group (or perhaps a large city) and the fourth and fifth digits representing a group of delivery addresses within that region. The main locality in a region (if applicable) often gets the first PEP Codes for that region; afterward, the numerical order often follows the alphabetical order.
The first digit of the PEP Code is allocated as follows:
- 0 = Cambria (CA), São Andreas (SA), Triessa (TA)
- 1 = Acara (AC), Aleira (AE), Milan (MI), Providência (PV)
- 2 = Alahuela (AH/DF), Alexandria (AL), São Ricardo (SR)
- 3 = Santiago (SG), Verona (VA), Victoria (VI)
- 4 = Alta Roma (AR), Baixa Roma (BR), Catania (CT), Galiza (GA), Lipora (LI)
- 5 = Calaxara (CX), Navarra (NV), Vitrea (VT)
- 6 = Ferara (FE), Loumara (LU), Montecarlo (MC), Trentino (TR)
- 7 = Lombardia (LO), Toscana (TO)
- 8 = Aveiro (AV), Bahia (BA), Ciulaga (CI), Santa Elena (SE), Siena (SI)
- 9 = Espírito Santo (ES), Porta Bianca (PB), Santarém (SM), Solemias (SL)
Beginning in 2000, all excise possessions, all Embassies, and all foreign bases and military installations will move to PEPr and the 0 series for these areas will become inactive.
