Vatican post office on St Peter`s Square in the Vatican City, Rome, Italy. The Vatican Post Office is open to everyone, for sending letters both inside and outside Vatican City. The Vatican`s post office was established on the 11th February 1929 and it has continued to offer its own postal services ever since then. First, the Vatican`s post office services were only provided within the Vatican City. But the services expanded and it became possible to start sending mail throughout Rome after the Vatican City had became a member of the Universal Postal Union on the 1st of June 1929 and signed a postal agreement with Italy on the 29th of July of the same year. The official stamps of Vatican City are produced under the authority of the Philatelic and Numismatic Office of the Vatican City State
