Adding Live (Real) Stamps to your Mailings
Getting Started
This article explains the current status of using live stamps on LetterStream mailings and outlines available alternatives for postage options.

Live Stamps Unavailable
The option to apply live stamps to an envelope has been temporarily suspended.
This means you cannot currently request real stamps on your mail pieces. This is applicable for the #10 outer envelope and any #9 return envelopes.
Postage on LetterStream Mailings
All outgoing mail includes postage, but we use a postal indicia—a printed mark showing that postage has been paid via permit. For return envelopes, live metered postage can be applied during job building.
This is a common standard for business mail and ensures fast and consistent processing by the USPS. For more information, click here.
Future Updates
If the option to add real stamps to the outside of #10 envelopes is reinstated, we’ll update this process accordingly. We appreciate your understanding.
