Official cover is a term used in espionage to refer to operatives who assume positions in organizations with diplomatic ties to the government for which they work.

Multiple issues expert Politics copyedit October 2009 date September 2010 Foreign official , until recently, essentially meant that a person held a political office in a government other than one s own, but the term has now taken a new meaning as legislation such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act FCPA , and others have given this term a more complex meaning. From a business perspective, the need to identify foreign officials is critical to the compliance process. If a relationship with a foreign official is not recognized, and company funds could intentionally or unintentionally end up in the hands of such a person, the costs of noncompliance with the FCPA may potentially reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars. US Department of Justice Definition According to the US Department of Justice , the term foreign official is defined as any officer or employee of a foreign government or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or of a public international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any such government or department, agency ... for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD has defined a foreign official, or foreign public official, as the following any person holding a legislative, administrative or judicial ... for a foreign country, including for a public agency or public enterprise and any official or agent ... defines foreign official this way foreign public official means any person holding a legislative ... and any official or agent of a public international organisation . . .

While the Penny Black and the Two pence blue Two Pence Blue were for use by the general public, as were the Mulready stationery Mulready envelopes and letter sheets , the VR official was for use on official mail. In appearance the VR Official was the same as the issued Penny Black except that the stars in the top corners were removed and replaced by the letters V and R, hence its common name. The plate layout for this issue was the same in almost all respects as that used for the penny black and the two pence blue produced at the same time. The only difference in the marginal inscription was the plate identification which was shown as a letter, see picture , rather than a number as used on the general issue of postage stamps. The idea of this stamp was that it would be used on official correspondence from government departments. However, the public dislike and mockery of the Mulready envelope and letter sheets led to vast numbers of the Mulreadies being issued to the various departments, with the tax office being the heaviest user.. Since existing stocks could be used, the idea of the official stamp was abandoned. Nearly all of the supplies which had been printed were destroyed on January 25, 1843.
