We noticed that the Vatican's September stamp issues, including the U.S. Diplomatic Anniversary stamp, were released on the CFN website last week. We have also noticed that the CFN website Order History screen is not coming up properly to allow for orders and payments. We have been in contact with CFN, and anyone having problems with the Vatican/CFN order history webpage can send an email to Anna Cicerchia of CFN Marketing & Customer Care at the address listed below. Anna is very helpful and can help with Vatican CFN stamp order issues. Her email address is included below.

This requires a bit of work since the special cancellations are not normally provided by CFN. To get FDCs with the special Day 1 postmark, make sure your request has "ANNULLO FIGURRATO/SPECIALE - DAY 1 POSTMARK" on your order form--clearly mark this in several places. Refer to Communicato 30/2024 0821/2024; 31/2024 08022/2024; 32/2024 08023/2024; 33/2024 08024/2024, and 34/2024 08026/2024.
