French Post recently announced that it will launch "digital stamps" next year, using a string of digital codes to replace traditional paper stamps. After users buy digital stamps on the French Post App, they will get an 8-digit code consisting of numbers and letters, which can be copied on the envelope with a pen and sent out.

In recent years, due to the impact of the Internet, e-mail and text messages, France Post has been facing the dilemma of the decline in the number of mails and the insufficiency of postage. After raising the price of stamps, France Post has developed this digital product. However, this kind of hand-written digital stamps has been questioned by the public in terms of how to ensure machine recognition and uniqueness: "Does the handwriting have to be written correctly?" "The postal speed has not improved much." In response, France Post responded, saying, There will be algorithms in the background to ensure that digital stamps can only be used once, and traditional paper stamps will not be cancelled for the time being.
