Yes. CEP means zip code.

Answer 2

Its a zip code

for a street in Fortaleza, State of Ceara.

Rua = street

Meireles is the name of the district or neighborhood.

Rua Silva Jatahy  

Meireles

Fortaleza, CE

Now the house number you have to have.

www.correios.com.br is the site of the post office in Brazil, its very good, has english version and you can track registered mail, just like Fedex, DHL or UPS.

Answer 3

Yes, it's the zip code, and the right way is 60165-070, not 60165, because this one is for the city,  and the complet one is from a specific street from the city.

Like, my one is 88306-510, ok?

Take care
