Artist Lucy Wang on creating the Commemorative Birth Certificate for the Year of the Dragon
Year of the Dragon takes flight
Proud NSW parents celebrating the 2024 Lunar New Year with a newborn can now recognise their good fortune and baby’s fighting spirit with a unique ‘Year of the Dragon’ Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Birth Certificate.
Designed by artist Lucy Wang, the certificate depicts the Dragon made up of golden hues, rising above the cliffs on the south coast of NSW.
The Dragon is one of the most sought-after Chinese Zodiac signs, representing luck, strength, and wealth and is a fitting honour for anyone lucky enough to be born or adopted during this powerful Lunar Year.
You have a choice to purchase:
- single commemorative birth certificate. Cost: $44
- package that includes an official birth certificate and a commemorative certificate. Cost only $95
Cost includes postage.
You can't order a commemorative certificate on its own for a new baby.
Our commemorative birth certificates are:
- suitable for framing at 279mm x 355mm (that's a bit bigger than A4 paper)
- printed on archival paper and wrapped in acid-free tissue paper
- sent to you in a protective cardboard cover.
Commemorative certificates are keepsakes and not official proof of identity documents.
