Stamps and Postcards
Posta Servizio Principato (PSP) or Principality Postal Service, issued its first postage stamp on 14 February 2006. The PSP has an ongoing design programme for future stamp, First Day Covers and postcard issues promoting Paulovia and the charities and campaigns the princedom supports. Paulovia is one of a few functioning micronational postal services and stamp issuing authorities. PSP stamps and postcards are professionally printed by leading European companies. All issues are highly collectable to "Cinderella" stamp collectors (philatelists) and postcard collectors (deltiologists). Each design is produced as a limited issue and is restricted to print runs of between 100 to 500 stamps or 10 to 100 First Day or Commemorative Covers. These are available as "mint" or with "First Day Issue" franking (subject to availability), plus other issue combinations. Visit our Online Stamp Bureau Shop |

#2 Postcard "Fishing Village" 08/02/2008 | Posta Servizio Principato carries official and private mail originating from the Royal Palace, the Embassy, Royal and family estates, the Diplomatic Mission and individual Paulovian citizens resident within 5 miles of the Embassy. Mail is collected and carried by the PSP and handed to the UK Royal Mail for onward carriage within the UK and worldwide. Paulovian stamps are not legally recognised for the carriage of mail outside Paulovia**. However, Paulovian postage stamps are used on external mail as "local carriage labels". Whenever used on external mail, postage stamps from a recognised UPU member are also used. For this reason external PSP mail usually bear Paulovian stamps on the bottom right, top left, or occasionally the reverse of the postal item. All Paulovian stamps carried by the PSP are franked by official PSP cancellations.
