Posted: Updated:

A 1 cent increase in the price of stamps took effect Sunday, bringing the cost of a stamp to 46 cents.

The U.S. Postal Service says the 1 cent increase goes into effect along with a new "First-Class Mail Global Forever Stamp."

According to the U.S. Postal Service, the new stamp allows customers to mail letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10.

The new mailing and shipping services were filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission back in October.
