From Augustan Society Staff Wiki
Certificates are issued by The Augustan Society, Inc., as evidence of Society action on any number of topics. These topics may include:
- Membership in the Society or its sub-groups
- Fellowship or Awards of the Society

- Recognition of Orders of Chivalry*
- Recognition of Orders of Chivalry qualifying members for the Society of Descendants of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem*
- Recognition of membership and rank in Orders of Chivalry*
- Recognition of royal or noble titles*
- Recognition of loyalty (multiples of 10-year membership)
- Acceptance of lineages*
- Resolutions of thanks or commendation
* These certificates are issued only upon request and payment of a fee, the others are automatically generated upon the actions of the Board or others.
While the design of certificates may vary, all must include the following elements:
- The arms of the Society
- The arms of the relevent sub-group, if any
- The full name of the Society
- The name of any relevant sub-group of the Society
- The name of the recipient, with all titles, pre- and post-nominals then recognized
- The signatures of the responsible officers
- When reflecting Board actions, the signature of the Secretary
- The embossed seal of the Society
Note: Signatures may be applied electronically by Headquarters Staff with the permission of the signers, provided a copy of each such applied signature is sent to the signer.
Presently, the design includes:
- Goldenrod stock, 8½×11"; except for certificates of registration of arms, which are on white stock, 11×17" folded once
- Full color printing
- A gold foil under the seal
The specific officers responsible for each certificate are listed on the pages that reference them.
