United Nations New York year 2009 – Personalized Greeting Stamp S/S

In 2006, the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) in New York issued a series of Personalized Greeting Stamps. These stamps allowed individuals to create custom stamps by incorporating personal images alongside official UN stamps. This was part of the broader trend of personalized postage, which many postal services adopted in the early 2000s to offer customers a unique way to celebrate personal milestones (e.g., weddings, anniversaries, birthdays) while supporting official postal services.

The UN’s personalized stamps featured a left-side panel where users could place a personal photograph or image, and the right side had the standard UN-themed stamp. These stamps were valid for mailing and could be purchased at the UN headquarters or through authorized outlets.
