VAS Latvijas Pasts is the company in charge of the Latvian postal service. Established in 1992 following newly regained Latvian independence, it took over the mail delivery duties of its predecessors that began in the year 1632.[4] Following political liberalization efforts, it was turned into a public limited company in 2004. In 2014 the Latvian Post had a key role in converting the country from Latvian lat to the euro currency. Lats are exchanged at the post offices at the official exchange rate as published by the government, 0.702804 euros to the lat. The free exchange will be available from the start of this month until the end of March. Customers looking to change more than 3,000 lats (EUR 4,300) in a transaction will have to notify the post office in advance, filling out an application form and providing proof of identity three days before the currency will be exchanged.[5]
