Bluey fans in NSW can celebrate the birth of their new bundle of joy with a Bluey-themed birth certificate.

The show which is celebrating its 5th anniversary, has expanded the offering from to paw-rents in other states.

The NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages Registry has unveiled three Bluey-inspired designs in their latest offerings of commemorative birth certificates, which are available for purchase for all residents.

Parents can bring the Heeler's home

For real life, you can choose from three designs once your Bluey or Bingo arrives, from the Heeler family road trip south to New South Wales, the family outside their classic Queenslander home or a fun day at the beach building sandcastles.

It comes just months after the registry began offering Blinky Bill designs for the documents, with 38 different commemorative certificates to choose from.

More than 221,000 commemorative birth certificates have been sold since 2014, including designs for Lunar New Year, Rugby League teams and Indigenous art.

Parents who want to get their paws on the Bluey designs will have to fork out $41 for a single commemorative birth certificate or $87 for a package of one special and one regular copy of the document.

The commemorative birth certificates aren’t able to be used as a replacement for the official version of the document.

NSW Customer Service Minister Jihad Dib said the government was “excited” to unveil the design.

“The commemorative certificates respond to customers wanting to celebrate the birth of their child and now the Registry is encouraging the community to have their say and help shape future designs,” Mr Dib said.

“Commemorative certificates are a special way to show your love for a favourite character, have your name against your favourite footy team’s colours or to commemorate your heritage with one of our Indigenous art designs or Chinese Lunar New Year certificates.”

NSW is the second state to offer the Heelers on birth certificates, with Queenslanders being able to purchase them since 2020.
