Costs of Granting and Preparing Arms
An applicant will be expected to provide genealogical information including birth, marriage and death certificates back to an ancestor that bore arms. Alternatively, an entirely new grant of arms can be discussed and designed. Since 2003 the basic cost of a Grant of Arms (or confirmation of a prior grant) have been:
- Individual €3,300
- Corporate €10,000
- Schools and other bodies €5,000
Smaller amounts are charged for designing and granting supporters, badges, copies of grants on vellum, subshields and other elements such as flags and pennants.
