When sending shipments to Mexico, FedEx only accepts 2 street lines of up to 35 characters each. If you’ve concatenated Address 2, Address 3 and the full state name on your second line, you’ll often exceed that limit.
Most of the time, the culprit is the state/region field—FedEx expects a two-letter state code, not the full name.
1. Use state codes, not full names
Replace the complete state name with its two-letter FedEx code:
| Estado (full name) | Código FedEx |
|---|---|
| Aguascalientes | AG |
| Baja California | BC |
| Baja California Sur | BS |
| Campeche | CM |
| Chiapas | CS |
| Chihuahua | CH |
| Ciudad de México | DF |
| Coahuila | CO |
| Colima | CL |
| Durango | DG |
| Estado de México | EM |
| Guanajuato | GT |
| Guerrero | GR |
| Hidalgo | HG |
| Jalisco | JA |
| Michoacán | MI |
| Morelos | MO |
| Nayarit | NA |
| Nuevo León | NL |
| Oaxaca | OA |
| Puebla | PU |
| Querétaro | QE |
| Quintana Roo | QR |
| San Luis Potosí | SL |
| Sinaloa | SI |
| Sonora | SO |
| Tabasco | TB |
| Tamaulipas | TM |
| Tlaxcala | TL |
| Veracruz | VE |
| Yucatán | YU |
| Zacatecas | ZA |
2. Keep each street line ≤ 35 characters
If your second line is still too long, apply common Spanish abbreviations:
| Original | Abbreviated |
|---|---|
| avenida | av. |
| calle | c. |
| carretera | ctr. |
| colonia | col. |
| santa | sta. |
| número | no. |
| departamento | dpto. |
By following these steps, both street lines will stay within FedEx’s limits and avoid the “address too long” error when shipping to Mexico.
