The “Fédération Internationale de Philatélie” (F.I.P.) has looked after stamp collectors and philatelists since 1926 – growing from a society of a handful European Philatelic Federations to a Federation with a network throughout the world with
- 87 Regular Members (National Philatelic Federations)

- Promotional Members (a new type of Membership for Postal Administrations)
The aims of F.I.P. are:
