On June 27, 2025, in Stuttgart, AR, the U.S. Department of the Interior will issue the $25 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp for the 2025–2026 waterfowl hunting season. The pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) stamp will go on sale nationwide June 27, 2025, and is valid through June 30, 2026.
Stamp Fulfillment Services will not make an automatic distribution to Post Offices. In order to allow Postmasters to order the 2025–2026 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp in quantities approximating customer demand, there is no minimum ordering quantity. Postmasters must review their previous year’s sales records to determine the appropriate number of the 2025–2026 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps to order. Postmasters must order sufficient quantities of Item 337300 to meet the expected demand for this item by stamp collectors, conservationists, and hunters. Post Offices may preorder these stamps before the first-day-of-issue through SFS Web at sfsweb.usps.gov/sfsweb. Post Offices must not sell the stamp before the first-day-of-issue.
The 2025–2026 $25.00 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation PSA Pane of 20 will only be distributed by Stamp Fulfillment Services in Kansas City, MO, and by consignment via Amplex Corporation.
Before June 30, 2025, all sales and service associates must return unsold 2024–2025 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps (also known as Duck stamps) to the unit reserve. Unit reserve stock custodians must ship unsold migratory bird stamps to the SFS Destruction Vault during their next scheduled return cycle.
