Norfolk Island Postal Service

Norfolk Island Postal Service was responsible for the providing stamps, receipt and delivery of mail to and from Norfolk Island under the Postal Services Act 1983.[1]

The service began in 1947 when the island assumed full control over postal services.[2]

The first stamps from Norfolk Island were issued in 1947 (Scott 1-12), and the last one on June 7, 2016.

There were two operating units of the Postal Service:

As of 1 July 2016, Norfolk Island became a regional council of the Australian State of New South Wales thus, ceasing having its own postal service and postage stamps.[3]

Australian stamps are now valid on the island, and Australia Post will issue separate stamps with a “Norfolk Island, Australia” inscription, similar to its stamps for the Australian Antarctic Territory, Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
