Can you still use Post Danmark stamps in 2026?
What to do with leftover stamps.
Short answer
In 2026 letters in Denmark are sent with dao, which uses its own letter codes and letter marks. For letters abroad you must use dao international letter marks and no longer Post Danmark stamps. PostNord refunds unused Post Danmark stamps for a limited period, so leftover stamps are worth money only through that refund. A dao letter code costs from 23 kr. for a standard domestic letter as of November 2026.
Why
- PostNord stopped delivering letters on 1 January 2026.
- dao has its own codes and marks.
- Unused stamps can be refunded for a limited time.
Details
dao sells sheets of physical letter marks in three types: regular, extra fast and global.
Tip
Collect all old stamps in one envelope and contact PostNord about the refund rather than throwing them out.
What may differ
The refund period is limited and the end date may come soon, so check with PostNord.
Common misconception
A Post Danmark stamp is still valid postage as long as it is not used.
What actually happens
Letters now need dao postage; old stamps can only be refunded by PostNord for a limited period.
