About Kyrgyz Express Post (KEP): First Stamp Issue - 10th Anniversary:

On June 27, 2025 the Ministry of Digital Development and Innovative Technologies of the Kyrgyz Republic issued a 2024 Kyrgyz Express Post Souvenir Sheet: "Kyrgyz Express Post First Stamp Issue, 10th Anniversary".

On November 18, 2014, the first postage stamps of Kyrgyz Express Post (KEP) were issued. KEP is the second officially designated postal operator of the Kyrgyz Republic. 

KEP provides a wide range of postal services to the population and holds the right to issue its own prepayment of postage, i.e. postage stamps. All stamp issues of KEP are carried out with the approval and full support of the Government of Kyrgyzstan.

It is worth noting that KEP stamps represent a new and unique phenomenon in the 185-year-old history of postage stamp issuance: for the first time in the world, a second officially designated postal operator of a country provides postal users and philatelists with its own distinct postage stamps as valid postage.

The themes of KEP stamp issues are always related to Kyrgyzstan - their country of origin. 

KEP stamps showcase the country's natural riches, promote its history as well as its economic, social, and cultural achievements, and contribute to strengthening Kyrgyzstan’s international cooperation with other states. 

At the same time, KEP also issues stamps dedicated to major global historical events and anniversaries. 

KEP’s miniature artworks are distinguished by their refined design and outstanding printing quality. Philatelists from all around the world greatly appreciate this fact and gladly acquire KEP stamps for their collections. The company's stamps are listed in all major international philatelic catalogues.
