View source for Recognized Governmental Grant Agencies

The heraldic activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., include making referrals to governmental grant agencies where such exist. There is also a policy against registering arms to individuals or corporations located in countries with a valid heraldic grant agency. Thus a list of '''recognized government arms agencies''' is needed.

The following list has been recommended by the [[Justiciar General]]. It has not been reviewed by the [[Heraldry Committee]] nor has it been approved by the Board, both of which should be done before it is used for a basis of action.

His recommended list of Governmental Arms Agencies is:

* [https://www.gg.ca Canadian Heraldic Authority] (Canada)
* Cronista de Armas de Castilla y León (Castile and León in Spain)
* [https://www.nli.ie/office-chief-herald Office of the Chief Herald] (Ireland)
* [https://statelaw.go.ke/services-to-the-public/coat-of-arms-and-blazens College of Arms] (Kenya)
* [https://maltaheraldry.mt/ Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta] (Malta)
* [https://courtofthelordlyon.scot Court of the Lord Lyon] (Scotland)
* [https://www.nationalarchives.gov.za The Bureau of Heraldry] (South Africa)
* [https://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk College of Arms (UK except Scotland)]

This may not be a complete list, and quirks of jurisdiction may exist that need to be documented.
