If you mail letters or documents regularly, you must have heard of the term “Forever Stamp.” These are (standard letter) stamps with one unique feature – they remain valid for mailing letters or documents regardless of postage price. However, there is a weight limit.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weight limit for a forever stamp is one ounce per First Class Mail. Therefore, before using this stamp, it is important to weigh or know the size of your mail.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide explains what a Forever Stamp is and its weight limit. You will also find out what works for letters of different weights and tips that can help you maximize the use of a Forever Stamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A forever stamp is a postage issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The stamp features the word “Forever” and an image of a liberty bell, which signifies that the stamp will remain valid indefinitely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its validity is also immune to future rate increases for postage. This means if you buy a Forever Stamp today at the current rate, you can use it even if the cost of postage increases in the future. There is no need to add an extra postage stamp to make up for the change in rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forever Stamp Weight Limit <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Forever Stamp weight limit for a standard letter is one ounce. This means you can use one Forever Stamp to mail a standard weighing up to one ounce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the weight of the letter exceeds one ounce, you will need to affix additional postage or Forever Stamps according to the current postage rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the postage rates for different types of mail and weights on the USPS website. You can also use the postage calculator<\/a> to determine the appropriate postage for mailing a standard letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
