Are my old stamps still valid?
The following stamps retain their validity, even in the event of a change in postage rates:
- Nederland 1 and 2 (Netherlands 1 & 2)
- Europa 1 and 2 (Europe 1 & 2)
- Wereld 1 (World 1)
December stamps
You can use ‘December stamps' to send your seasonal greeting cards at a reduced rate. Again, these stamps retain their validity in the event of a change in postage rates.
December stamps issued from 2010 onwards are instantly recognisable, whereas older stamps merely feature a value indication (in euros). These older stamps may still be used, but please make sure you add stamps to match current rates (special add-on stamps are available).
Stamps with a value indication in euros
These stamps may still be used, but please make sure you add stamps to match current rates (special add-on stamps are available).
Stamps with a value indication in guilders
These stamps are no longer valid. Unfortunately, they cannot be returned in exchange for money or new stamps.
