During AGBU's centennial in 2006, the Armenia's "Hai Post" postal service, by order of the Ministry of Communications of the Republic of Armenia, printed stamps in Armenia dedicated to AGBU. Upon the initiative of the AGBU Armenia Representation and with the cooperation of the Ministry of Communications of the Republic of Armenia, the sheet of three stamps depicts the organization's founder and first president, Boghos Nubar, the minutes of the founding meeting of the organization, and a portrait of honorary life president of AGBU Alex Manoogian. To mark AGBU's centennial in 2006, the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh's postal service also issued a stamp which depicted the statue of Alex Manoogian located on his namesake street in the Karabakh capital of Stepanakert.

In celebration of Christmas and the New Year, the AGBU Armenia Representation sent out cards this season using the AGBU stamp. Cards were sent out to the organization's president, members of the Central Board of Directors, chapters, governmental agencies, and friends.
