Updates: 

Celvin Ruisdael gave me the exact date of the 2000 census.

FIPS PUB 10-4 is the U.S. Federal standard for administrative divisions of countries. Change 3 to FIPS PUB 10-4 is dated May 17, 1999. One of the changes was to drop the list of divisions for Monaco. FIPS has concluded, as I did, that the quartiers don't count as primary administrative divisions.

Primary subdivisions: 

Monaco has one commune, which is coextensive with the country.

Commune	HASC	Population	Area(km.²)	Area(mi.²)	Capital
Monaco	MC.MC	31,109	2	1	Monaco
HASC: Hierarchical administrative subdivision code. Population: 2008-06-09 census

Postal codes: 

Monaco uses five-digit postal codes from the French system. They always begin with "980". Monégasque addresses can be identified by prefixing the postal codes with "MC-".

Further subdivisions:

The commune of Monaco is subdivided into four quartiers (districts or neighborhoods). Their names are Fontvieille, La Condamine, Monaco-Ville, and Monte-Carlo. Fontvieille is the newest one, occupying land reclaimed from the sea between 1964 and 1973. There are smaller areas that are sometimes also called quartiers, such as Moneghetti, Larvotto, and Saint Roman, but this seems to be merely descriptive. More details of the geographical partition can be found in the 2008 census report .

For a while, the FIPS standard included codes for three quartiers of Monaco: La Condamine (MN01), Monaco-Ville (MN02), and Monte-Carlo (MN03).
