To begin the process of registration, a petition for registration must be submitted to one of the officers of arms of the Royal Heraldic College of Georgia. Once this petition has been received, one of the officers of arms will contact the petitioner to obtain any remaining relevant information and documentation required to determine eligibility and process the registration.

The registration petition and supporting materials are examined by the College and a determination is made as to whether a registration is possible or if further information is required. The College will inform the petitioner as to whether the registration may be able to proceed and under what (if any) limitations.

Note: As heraldic entitlements and traditions vary, the College may determine that a registration petition may be able to proceed but will require that some elements (such as nobiliary entitlements not formally recognized by the Royal House) be excluded from what is registered.

Following the payment of the fees of the College by the petitioner, the College will prepare a registration document which will include the formal heraldic description (blazon) of the armorial bearings, succession rules, any applicable authorizations to make use of the heraldic privileges of members of the Royal Georgian Orders, and any accompanying artwork depicting the heraldic emblems (emblazonment). Thereafter, approval is sought and the document is signed and sealed by the College before being mailed to the armiger. A digital copy will be retained by the College, and the registered arms are entered into the Register of Arms, Badges, Flags, and Other Emblems of the Royal House of Georgia.

To provide petitioners with options to suit their varied preferences, the College offers, in addition to the standard letter-size registration document, two additional options with varying formats and price tiers. Further details are provided in the Letters Patent Options box below.
