Postage stamps and postal history of the Central African Republic
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Boganda_1959_stamp.jpg/170px-Boganda_1959_stamp.jpg)
The Central African Republic has been issuing stamps since 1959. Before this, it was called Ubangi-Shari.[1][2]
Ubangi-Shari became an autonomous state within the French Community and was renamed the Central African Republic on 1 December 1958. The Republic became fully independent on 13 August 1960.
From 4 December 1976 to 1979, the country was renamed the Central African Empire when President Bokassa crowned himself emperor. It issued stamps labelled Empire Centrafricaine in 1977.[1]
In 1979 the name of the country was restored to the Central African Republic.
