addition to house number

[petitcroissant]

Hi, I am looking for the correct term for an addition to a house number, for example "appt. 10".

let's assume that the address is: 2, rue de l'eglise, appt. 10
That consists of, numéro, street, ....

I thought of 'suffixe' ???

Salut,
on parle de "complément d'adresse".

"Suffixe" is more often used for the end a phone number when it refers to a particular person in a company by example

Bye!

ok, thanks for the explanation. But is there any way to make "complément d'adresse" shorter, as it is meant for a formulaire and it should not take too much space.
If I put
rue: _ _ _ _
numéro: _ _ _ _
complément: _ _ _ _

would that be understanable/okay for a french person?

I think you should keep complément d'adresse if you don't use the word "adresse" before !


here is a typic formular :
