Despite this close partnership, Monaco retains a strong national identity in its postal system, particularly through its renowned Monaco stamps, which are issued on a regular basis and highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

Monaco Stamps and Philatelic Tradition

Monaco has a long-standing passion for philately. Monegasque stamps are produced to commemorate national events, cultural milestones and members of the Princely Family. These official stamps are valid for postage and form an essential part of Monaco’s cultural heritage.

They are preserved and displayed at the Museum of Stamps and Coins in Fontvieille, one of the Principality’s most distinctive cultural institutions and a must-visit destination for philatelists.

Main Post Office in Monaco: Palais de la Scala

The main post office in Monaco is located at Palais de la Scala, near the Hôtel Hermitage in Monte-Carlo. This central branch offers full postal and banking services, including registered mail, parcel services and financial operations.

Visitors receive a queue number upon arrival, and English is widely spoken at this location, making it the most convenient Monaco post office for international residents and visitors. In smaller branches across the Principality, French remains the primary language of service.

Mail Sorting and Delivery in Fontvieille

Since May 2025, La Poste de Monaco has modernised its logistics operations. Mail sorting, delivery services, PO boxes and distribution activities are now handled at a dedicated facility located at Ilot Pasteur, 1 avenue de Fontvieille.

This operational shift has improved efficiency while maintaining easy public access to postal counters throughout Monaco.

Mail Delivery and Registered Letters in Monaco

Mail delivery in Monaco generally takes place in the morning, from Monday to Saturday. If a registered letter or parcel cannot be delivered due to absence, recipients must collect it in person and present a valid identity document.

Parcels subject to customs fees are handled through designated postal locations, depending on the delivery notice and type of shipment.

New Parcel Services and Goods Pickup Point

As part of its ongoing modernisation, Monaco introduced a Goods Pickup Point (Point Accueil Marchandise – PAM)in late 2024. This service includes secure parcel lockers and extended pickup options, simplifying parcel reception and logistics within the Principality.

The PAM reflects Monaco’s commitment to improving parcel delivery services and adapting its postal infrastructure to contemporary needs.
