Alderney forms part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey and since 1969 when Royal Mail relinquished authority to Guernsey Post has relied on postal services provided by Guernsey. In 1983 Guernsey Post issued its first stamps designated Alderney.
History

In 1983 Guernsey issued its first stamps designated Alderney, for use from Alderney, although they are valid for use from any island in the Bailiwick of Guernsey.[1]: 97
