Court cost stamps , judicial cost stamps or just cost stamps are comparable to postage stamps . While the postage stamp proves a postage payment , court fee stamps provide evidence of a court fee payment . For this purpose, the court fee stamp is stuck onto the document to be submitted to the court , for example an application . They are no longer in use in Germany these days.

history

As early as 1949 to 1951, the German states had agreed on their own court fee stamps, but these were recognized nationwide (so-called freedom of movement ).

The court cost mark has been a thing of the past since early 2005. Bundesdruckerei has not printed any new stamps since then . The cost debtor is either dependent on the (more expensive) own court fee stamp, but can also pay the court costs by bank transfer or check as well as cash payment at a court cashier.

The Bundesdruckerei did not record how many stamps were produced and delivered. In North Rhine-Westphalia alone, brands worth up to ten million euros were sold annually, in 2007, despite the expiry of the brands, 483,000 brands worth between 5 cents and up to 200 euros.

After Saxony's judicial cost stamps were declared invalid in 2005 and Hamburg's in 2008, only the legal cost stamps of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia were valid. At the end of December 31, 2010, these were also declared invalid and withdrawn from circulation. Since then, judicial cost stamps are no longer used as adhesive stamps in Germany. Electronic cost stamps are used in the states of Baden-Württemberg , North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony .
