The Augustan Society, Inc., recognizes royal and noble Houses and ''fontes honorum.'' The [[Royalty & Nobility Committee]] has established the following procedure to be followed in doing so.

<ol>
<li>Any interested party may submit a request for recognition of a ''fons honorem'' to [[Headquarters]]. Initially, this will be done via mail or email, but it is planned to add the ability to make petion online at our web site.</li>

<li>Fees required are $285, plus a non-refundable $15 petition fee. Members may receive a 20% discount on the total once approved by the [[Order of the Augustan Eagle]].</li>

<li>Headquarters will inform the [[Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman]], who will in turn evaluate the request, gather additional information as required, and submit same to the Royalty & Nobility Committee for evaluation and voting.</li>

<li>The Committee will evaluate the information presented and vote on whether or not to recommend the [[Board|Board of Directors]] recognize the ''fons honorem'' or noble house.</li>

<li>When an affirmative vote equaling a majority of the Committee's membership (excepting those who recuse themselves) has been earned, the Royalty & Nobility Chairman will notify the [[Assistant Secretary]] of the Committee’s voting totals.</li>

<li>The Assistant Secretary will place the Committee’s recommendation on the next available Board agenda.</li>

<li>The Board will then vote on recognizing the ''fons honorem'' or noble house.</li>

<li>If recognized, the Assistant Secretary (or such officer as records the minutes) will notify:

<ul>
<li>The [[Webmaster]] who will add the listing to the Society’s web site along with a link to the House in question (if one exists);</li>

<li>The [[August&aelig;um Editor]] who will add such notice to the next available issue;</li>

<li>The Royalty & Nobility Committee Chairman; and</li>

<li>The original petitioner (by mail, if a non-member).</li>
</ul></li>
</ol>
