Meter
Migration?
All postage meters in the US were to be the IBI (Intelligence
Based Indicia) after December 31, 2008. Meters with postage
could be run down. Most meters needed to call home for
validation every 90 days. Non-IBI meters were to be deactivated
at the next validation. However members have been collecting
covers that have non-IBI meter stamps as of November 2009. We
have since found a GSA document that extends the life of non-IBI
postage meters. See the Meter Basics
page Meter Migration Mandate section.
