Hi Lasse Danish

Yes, you can still use it as it has not been stamped in the box on the right-hand side.

However, your IRC will only be valid until the 31st of December ... so send your request out quick!! After the 31st, the IRC will be worthless as it will not be exchangable for stamps.

Thank you so much nowandagain

But I have also bought 2 IRC's on the post office two days ago, but they are NOT stamped on the left side or on the right side. She just gave me the IRC's with out stamp them

Is that okay or shall I go back and get them stamped ?

Hi Lasse

Some countries will accept IRC's that have not been stamped, but if you want to make sure (and have the time) - take them back to your post office and get them stamped.

In future, make sure you get them stamped when you buy them - it just saves you the trouble

Hello Nowandagain


I have looked on the left corner on my IRC's I said that there were NOT stamped.. But you can see that there is stamped "DK" that stands for Denmark.
Will that say that I can use them

Hi Lasse

All IRC's should have the country of origin printed on it (in your case DK). However, not all countries stamp their IRC's (as I think it's optional?).

If you're sending to the US, it should be OK as I know they do accept IRC's without being stamped:

b. Under Universal Postal Union's regulations member countries are not required to place a control stamp or postmark on the international reply coupons that they sell. Therefore some foreign issue reply coupons which are tendered for redemption may bear the name of the issuing country (generally in French) rather than the optional control stamp or postmark. Such coupons are exchangeable for U.S. postage as specified in 372.3b.

Your IRC's are definitely valid and useable . However, its best to have them stamped in future (just to be on the safe side).

Yes that's true, here in Belgium the postmaster says that they haven't too stamp them but they do it. It is optional like you say

Hi Lasse

They should be fine to be exchanged for stamps

However, if you are worried - take them to the post office and have them stamped!

Good luck!
