📢 We are excited to launch the official #WorldPostDay 2025 branding! From rural village post offices delivering vital public services to bustling city hubs shipping parcels across the globe, the Post is more than a system, it is a service by the people, for the people. This year, we celebrate the power of the POST to connect PEOPLE - #PostForPeople. Every letter, package, and connection starts locally and yet its impact spans continents. 🌍 We aim to highlight how postal services are a lifeline for communities everywhere, offering local service with global reach. #UPU

The UPU's official account. We're the UN specialized agency for postal services working with 192 member countries.
About us
Established in 1874, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) with its headquarters in Berne, Switzerland, is the primary forum for cooperation between postal-sector players and helps to ensure a truly universal network of up-to-date products and services. With 192 member countries, this specialised agency of the United Nations fulfils an advisory, mediating and liaison role, and renders technical assistance where needed. It sets the rules for international mail exchanges and makes recommendations to stimulate growth in mail volumes and to improve the quality of service for customers. As a non-political organisation, it does not interfere in matters that fall within the domestic domain of national postal services. For example, Posts set their own postage rates, decide which and how many postage stamps to issue, and how to manage their postal operations and staff. As an inter-governmental institution, the UPU is called upon to play an important role in promoting the continued revitalisation of postal services.
