Official Nice List Certificate

Form NP-2 · Certificate of Nice List Standing

There is no higher honour in December. The Nice List Certificate confirms, in writing, that your child has been entered onto the Nice List by the North Pole Liaison Office. It comes with an ornate border, the Bureau seal and signature lines from Santa's office. Children tend to carry it around the house for a day and then insist on framing it.

Night Shift at the Nice List Records Hall
An owl archivist and a penguin on exchange from the South Pole chase a thousand flying kindness slips around the Nice List Records Hall, and find the very last one in the strangest place. A cosy Christmas bedtime story.

The Long Way to Santa's Desk
A green-crayon letter with a backwards S and a dog that looks like a potato travels by postbox, sorting office and snow goose all the way to Santa's desk. Lovely on the night a letter to Santa has been posted.

Questions from grown-ups

Nice List Certificate

Plain answers about this document, for the grown-ups doing the filing.

Q.1Is every child on the Nice List?

In the Bureau's records, every child who's trying their best is. The certificate celebrates effort and kindness, not perfection.

Q.2Can I print Nice List certificates for a whole class?

Yes. Classic certificates are free and unlimited, so you can make one per student. Each has its own case number and verification QR.

Q.3What paper should I use?

Any plain paper works. Card stock or cream paper feels extra official, and Pass holders can choose the Parchment or Midnight paper styles.
