'''Q:''' ''Why do you not consider arms granted by Sealand or by various noble houses as "granted"?''<br> | '''Q:''' ''Why do you not consider arms granted by Sealand or by various noble houses as "granted"?''<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 Heraldic Council 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> | '''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.

'''Q:''' ''I haven't received any news about my registration in a long while. Is it being worked on?''<br> | |||
'''A:''' Yes, we continue to work on registrations. The work is slow as it is done in the administrator's spare time but it is slowly moving forward. Please be patient, you will be contacted once your turn arrives.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
'''Q:''' ''I see your have changed your registration submission system from Google Forms to an e-mail based system. Is my previously submitted registration still valid?''<br> | |||
'''A:''' There are two Google Forms - one for users with a Google account, one without. All registration requests submitted via the first form (WITH Google account) are still valid and will be dealt with before we move onto e-mail based submissions. Registrations submitted via the second form (NO GOOGLE ACCOUNT) are being annulled. This is due to the fact that these submissions require us to follow up on them to request an image. The majority of such requests are then ignored by the armigers requesting registration. Instead an e-mail notification will be sent to all the people who used the second form to inform them of the change and request they resubmit their registration. We apologies for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for understanding. <br> | |||

'''Q:''' ''Can I include my banner / badge / alternate emblazonment with my registration?''<br> | '''Q:''' ''Can I include my banner / badge / alternate emblazonment with my registration?''<br> | ||
'''A:''' Yes, within reason we will include more images along with your registration. | '''A:''' Yes, within reason we will include more images along with your registration. | ||

'''Q:''' ''Why was the image of my arms deemed insufficient?''<br> | |||
'''A:''' There are several reasons why the image of your arms does not meet our aesthetic standards. The most common issues include the image being in low resolution, it may contain bitmap artefacts or it may be an obvious collage of images in different styles. In general we are lenient with what images we admit but we do request some minimum requirements be met. If your image does not match our standards, consider getting in contact with a heraldic artist to create a quality emblazonment for you. Many willing artists may be found in the Facebook, Reddit or Discord heraldic communities. | |||
