'''A:''' We only label arms as "granted" if they have been granted by national heraldic authorities as they have official legal standing. Sealand is not an internationally recognised nation and thus we cannot consider their "grants" as legally binding. The same goes for arms "granted" by various non-ruling royal houses and noble houses. We will, however, register your arms as ungranted commoner arms, without noble attributes.<br> | '''A:''' We only label arms as "granted" or "officially registered" if they have been granted by national heraldic authorities as they have official legal standing. Sealand is not an internationally recognised nation and thus we cannot consider their "grants" as legally binding. The same goes for arms "granted" by various non-ruling royal houses and noble houses. We will, however, register your arms as ungranted commoner arms, without noble attributes. Among the entities whose grants we consider valid are, for example, the College of Arms or Lord Lyon King of Arms in the United Kingdom or the Flemish Heraldic Council in Belgium. Among the entities whose registrations we accept as official is the Coundil of the PResident of the Russian Federation and various subnational authorities in Russia, the Bureau of Heraldry of South Africa or the Chronicler of Arms of Castile and Leon. This list is inclusive but not exhaustive.<br> | ||
