Literal meaning Macao Post

Macao Post (Portuguese: Correios de Macau, Chinese: 澳門郵政), formerly CTT Correios de Macau or CTT, is a department under the Government of Macao responsible for postal services.

The acronym CTT comes from the former name of Portuguese postal administration (Portuguese: Correios, Telégrafos e Telefones, meaning "Post, Telegraph and Telephone") during the colonial period of Macao.

Postal history

The Macao Post was founded on 1 March 1884 as a separate entity from China Post and a sub-member of the Universal Postal Union.[1] Prior to the transfer of sovereignty from Portugal to China in 1999, the Macao postage stamps bore the Portuguese words REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA (i.e. the 'Portuguese Republic'), but now bear the Portuguese words MACAU, CHINA (i.e. the 'Macao, China').
