Monaco Postal Services: Post Offices, Mail Delivery and Stamps

La Poste Monaco

Monaco's postal services are operated by La Poste de Monaco, which falls under the Ministry of Finance and Economy. The service provides reliable mail delivery six days a week (Monday to Saturday, mornings) to all residential and business addresses in the Principality.

Post Office Locations

Monaco has six post offices spread across the Principality:

Standard hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 to 19:00, Saturday 8:00 to 13:00. Hours may vary by branch.

Postal Codes

Monaco uses a single postal code — 98000 — for the entire Principality. There are no sub-codes for different districts. The variant MC 98050 (Monaco CEDEX) is used for government and institutional mail.

Address Format

Monaco addresses follow French formatting conventions. A complete address includes the recipient's name, street number and name, postal code, and country:

For international mail, add "Monaco" or "Principaute de Monaco" as the country. For apartment buildings, include the building name and apartment number as specified in your lease.

Mail and Parcel Services

Standard domestic mail within Monaco is typically delivered the same or next working day. International mail takes 5 to 14 days depending on the destination. Available services include:

• Standard and priority letters
• Registered mail with proof of delivery
• Express services
• Domestic and international parcel delivery with tracking
• Insurance and signature-on-delivery options

Stamps can be purchased at post offices, tobacconists, and designated retail points. Since late 2024, secure parcel lockers are also available for convenient package collection.

Mail Forwarding

If you are relocating, La Poste Monaco offers mail forwarding services. Register forwarding requests at your local post office at least one week before your move to ensure continuity of delivery.

Monaco's Philatelic Tradition

Monaco has a long and distinguished philatelic tradition. The Office des Emissions de Timbres-Poste (OETP), established in 1937, is the government body responsible for designing, issuing, and promoting Monaco's collectible postage stamps. Stamp designs are selected in collaboration with the Prince of Monaco and commemorate national events, cultural heritage, and the Princely Family.

The OETP operates from Espace Honore II (5 Promenade Honore II, MC 98050 Monaco) and can be reached at +377 98 98 41 41 or oetp@gouv.mc. Its website is oetp-monaco.com. The OETP also manages the Musee des Timbres et des Monnaies in Fontvieille.
