Type 1.

On January 15, 1871, the Zemstvo post of Kungur Uyezd (Perm Governorate) was opened. Mail was sent from the uyezd center, the city of Kungur, to most volost administrations along the Proselochny and Goroblagodatsky routes twice a week.

From January 1, 1890, Zemstvo postage stamps of 1 and 2 kopecks were used to pay for the delivery of private letters and packets. The stamps bear images of the gubernia and uyezd coats of arms. In 1891, stamps of 5 and 10 kopecks were issued, and in 1893–96 new stamps of 1 and 2 kopecks were released. All of them were printed in private printing houses. The stamps were canceled with oval postmarks. From 1898, all correspondence was forwarded free of charge.
