Recognized Governmental Grant Agencies
From Augustan Society Staff Wiki
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:
- Court of the Lord Lyon (Scotland)
- [1] College of Arms (UK except Scotland)]
- Office of the Chief Herald (Ireland)
- Canadian Heraldic Authority
- [www.nationalarchives.gov.za The Bureau of Heraldry (South Africa)]
- College of Arms (Kenya)
- Cronista Rey d'Armas de Castilla y León (jurisdiction unknown)
This may not be a complete list, and quirks of jurisdiction may exist that need to be documented.
