The first document attesting the existence of postal services in Romanian-speaking lands was "The Charter" issued by Sovereign Mircea the Elder, in 1399, at Giurgiu.

By this, localities were required to provide the royal couriers with transportation means, horses and two wheels carts, named remount.

At the beginning, the post was mainly based on the transportation of travellers and official mail of the high seniors and sovereigns.

During the years, Poșta Română has developed an active policy meant to strengthen the co-operation and the partnerships at different levels.

Between 2004 and 2008, Romania held the chairmanship of UPU Council of Administration contributing in this way to the decision-making process regarding the future of the postal services.
