None of the stamps sent are known to exist today.
The district of Baja California existed until 1863. From 1868 it was known as La Paz.
The Baja California overprint is approximately 20½ by 2 mm, with leading and trailing dots.
No stamps were sent to Baja California between 1864 and 1867, since it was one of the few place under the control of the Government of the Mexican Republic during the French intervention.
Forgeries from Baja California exist. A MEPSI certificate is recommended.
