The first stamps of Tajikistan were issued on 20 May 1992.[1] Before then, Tajikistan used stamps of the Soviet Union.
Overprints
In 1992 and 1993 the Tajikistan Post Office resorted to overprinting stamps of the Soviet Union as supplies of the new Tajik stamps ran low.[2]
Bogus stamps
Tajikistan is a member of the Universal Postal Union and has issued notices through the U.P.U. warning of bogus stamps on popular thematic subjects issued in their name.[3]
