History

Main article: Postage stamps and postal history of Uzbekistan

The first stamps of Uzbekistan were issued on 7 May 1992.^[7] Before then, Uzbekistan used stamps of the Soviet Union. In 1993 and 1995, the Uzbekistan Post Office resorted to overprinting stamps of the Soviet Union as supplies of the new Uzbek stamps ran low.^[8]
