    Are old Finnish stamps still valid?

    Using stamps you bought earlier.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    Yes, no-value stamps are. Posti says stamps without a printed euro value that were bought earlier remain valid for their class after the price change of 2 June 2026. A domestic no-value stamp still covers a domestic letter. Stamps with a printed euro value are worth that amount, and you may need to add more stamps to reach the new price.

    Why

    1. Posti states that no-value stamps bought earlier stay valid.
    2. The price change took effect on 2 June 2026.
    3. A domestic letter up to 50 g now costs 3 euros, according to Posti.

    Details

    Very old stamps from the markka era are no longer valid for postage. They are only of interest to collectors.

    Tip

    Check whether your stamp has a printed value. If it does, add stamps up to the current price.

    What may differ

    Special stamps, such as Christmas stamps, are valid only for the service they were sold for.

    Common misconception

    Stamps bought before a price rise can no longer be used.

    What actually happens

    No-value stamps stay valid after the price change.
