The story

Founded by CTT Correios de Portugal in 1884.1

The Macao Post was founded on 1, March 1884 (separate from Correio Público—Public Post Office of Portugal), as a separate entity from China Post and a sub-member of the Universal Postal Union. Prior to the handover of Macau from Portugal to China in 1999, Macau postage stamps bore the Portuguese words REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA (i.e., the 'Portuguese Republic'), but now bear the Portuguese words MACAU, CHINA.

Organization

The Postal service is headed by a Director with two sub-directors.
