If so, you might wonder if you can still use them to post your letters or parcels at the Post Office.

It comes as in April this year, Royal Mail introduced stamps with the portrait of King Charles III instead of the late Queen.

With this in mind, let’s find out if you can still use stamps with the Queen’s head on.

Whether you can still use first and second-class Royal Mail stamps with Queen Elizabeth II’s head on depends on one main factor.

If the stamp has a barcode on it, you can still use it to send post.

However, if the stamp with the Queen’s head on doesn’t have a barcode on it, it can no longer be used for postage.

This follows the introduction of a six-month grace period last year from the initial January 31 deadline in 2023.

Following the release of the King’s stamps in April, the Royal Mail website comments: “To minimise the environmental and financial impact of the change of monarch, existing stocks of definitive stamps that feature Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be distributed and issued as planned and will remain valid for use in line with our recent transition to barcodes on definitive stamps.”
