Illegal Stamps

Any stamp not authorized by an issuing country is illegal, including those purporting to be from territories of larger countries. For a complete explanation and set of definitions around illegal stamps see our Notes page.
Universal Postal Union

Countries that are the subject of illegal stamps will traditionally issue circulars through the Universal Postal Union. The entries below are linked to the applicable circular where appropriate. Circulars may refer to the problem in general from the applicable country or may refer to the specific illegal stamp issue.

The 20c represents 20 com, and postage stamps in 2000 in the Kyrgyz Republic used either

The Kyrgyz Republic has had repeated problems with illegal stamps (witness the two Simpsons sheets document on this page) and as a result the Universal Postal Union issued multiple circulars as indicated above documenting illegal issues. Documentation on official stamps can be found registered with the Universal Postal Union or with the Kyrgyz Republic postal authorities.
