Mexico Complete Address Format Guide
Mexican cĂłdigos postales contain five digits. Leading zeroes must be preserved, and state/locality validation is preferable to length-only checks. Modern international formatting uses +52 followed by the ten-digit national number. Legacy mobile prefixes should not be inserted into new normalized data. Two surnames are common, with paternal and maternal family names. Accents and compound given names are meaningful and should be preserved.

Validate required state, character set, length, and syntax on the client, then repeat validation on the server. Preserve the original input and normalize into a separate field; never truncate local scripts, compound names, or leading zeroes to fit a single Western assumption.
This guide describes common formats rather than an official registry and cannot enumerate every exception. Generated output is for testing only, not delivery, calling, identity verification, or real account activity.
