A method of reissuing secured postage indicium includes the steps of dispensing from a postage meter an original postage indicium as evidence of postage dispensed for a requested postage transaction, the original postage indicium including postage information and authentication information; storing within the postage meter a transaction record for the dispensed original postage indicium, the transaction record including the postage information and the authentication information; and receiving at the postage meter a request to reissue the original postage indicium. The inventive method further includes subsequent to receiving the reissue request the steps of obtaining the postage information and the authentication information from the transaction record; combining the obtained postage information and the authentication information with an indicator thereby creating a modified original postage indicium; and dispensing the modified original postage indicium from the postage meter so that the indicator is obtainable from the dispensed modified original postage indicium to identify that the dispensed modified original postage indicium is a reissue of the original postage indicium.
