Thailand transferred suzerainty over Kedah to GB in July 1909. Kedah and GB signed a Treaty of Friendship in November 1923.

Overprinted stamps were issued under Japanese occupation in 1942. The second stamp of the set is show, as an image of the first could not be found at the time this page was being built.

Kedah joined the Federation of Malaya in February 1948 and was incorporated into Malaysia in 1963. It had its own stamps within Malaysia from 1965 until 1986.
