Aden Protectorate

' This is a disambiguation page for the stamp-issuing states/sultanates of the former Aden Protectorate. '''

Several post offices of Aden colony were opened in several towns in the region. There was no other postal service otherwise. However, in 1942, two sultanates of the protectorate decided to issue their own stamps.
 * Shihr and Mukalla (Qu'aiti State of Shihr and Mukalla), that became Hadhramaut (Qu'aiti State of Hadhramaut) in 1955.
 * Seiyun (Kathiri State of Seiyun), that became the Kathiri State in Hadhramaut in 1967.

Those two state/sultanates became part of the British protectorate of South Arabia in 1962. Both continued to issue their own stamps.
