Portal:Namibia/Issuing Authority

The Namibian Postal Service, NamPost, is the official Stamp Issuing Authority of Namibia.

It is recognised that stamps are economical and effective ambassadors for the country of origin, that their design is part of national heritage, that stamps play an important role in the education of the young, and that mutual recognition of national symbols through philately can lead to a greater cultural understanding amongst nations.

The stamps used within a country educate and enhance its own citizens through promoting awareness of issues such as the preservation of fauna and flora, heritage, and history. Stamps are therefore an integral part of the cultural fabric of a country, and themes should be chosen and portrayed well, with high-quality production.

Philatelic counters are available at all Head Post Offices, and services include the following:
 * Sale of stamps, first day covers, souvenir/ mini-sheet, commemorative folder, philatelic cards
 * Sale of philatelic first day cover albums and pockets
 * Sale of annual stamp packs / year packs
 * 5 pages stock books
 * Sale of philatelic handbooks
 * Deposit account service
 * Mailing list service
 * Personalised stamps (personalise your business/individual postage with your own imagery and message to give your mail more impact)
