Like most overprinted issues, the Uzhhorod Provisionals were merely a temporary expedient. This fact was noted by the NRZU and preparations were soon made to produce subsequent issues using local resources.

Beginning in May 1945, three separate definitive series were issued for Carpatho-Ukraine. All stamps were printed by offset lithography at Litografia Lam in Uzhhorod, and are perforated 11½ (imperforates exist of all values). Shade variations (from light to dark) are common, sometimes occurring within the same sheet. Gum was applied by hand and varies in color, quality, and consistency. Traces of gum can sometimes be found on the face of stamps, indicating that the gum was applied after printing. Perforation varieties of many types are known to exist, and are especially abundant on the second definitive issue. Most stamps also have plate numbers and/or inscriptions in the sheet margin, thus increasing the number of collectible varieties.

All three definitive series reflected the communist-oriented nature of the National Council. Each stamp has a hammer and sickle incorporated into its design, and most stamps also display a socialist star.
