List of people on the postage stamps of the Faroe Islands
![](../I/m/Faroe_stamp_016_merkid%2C_the_faroese_flag.jpg)
The Faroe Islands issued their first stamps January 30, 1975. As the isles are an independent part of Denmark, Danish stamps were used on the isles previously.
From a philatelist point of view, there are earlier occasions in the postal history of the Faroe Islands, but the first stamps came in 1975.
