Operating The Capitol Collection Stamp

Please use the following descriptions and illustrations to assist you in changing the date on the Capitol Collection stamp. Careful that you don’t touch the ink pad!


Presently, 48 states are participating in the Capitol Collection program. Unfortunately, staff members come and go at the capitols and they may not have been told that their capitol is participating. Gently but firmly let the person know that the stamp is there SOMEWHERE. If you are still unable to get your stamp, please let us know the NAME of the person you spoke to who did not know about the stamp, the DATE and the CAPITOL and we will contact them to educate one more new person. Thanks for your help in this! We hope it doesn't happen to you, but it does happen!

How to use the stamp

If the stamp IS there but you don't know how to use it, please see Operating the Capitol Collection Stamp here on our website.
