Fremma Senior Member PARIS + HONG-KONG French and English Nov 14, 2008 #3 Yes, they are synonyms and mean 'receipt' in English.
Teafrog Senior Member London UK English (& rusty French…) Nov 14, 2008 #5 They are very close, but I understand "récépissé" as a general receipt (could be to acknowledge receiving goods, work done, etc.) whereas "reçu" is a receipt solely for money. What do 'locals' think?

G gillyfr Senior Member Montreal, Canada English - England Nov 14, 2008 #6 I agree with Teafrog. You get a récépissé at the police station, for example, when you make a statement. You get a reçu when you hand over money.
