Registration allows armigers to preserve the design history for future generations.
Registration of a personal coat of arms in honour of a family member or friend creates an enduring memorial and a symbol of family and friendship identity to all the honourer’s offspring.
Education on the art and science of heraldry by studying other arms.

The registration within Greek Heraldry Society does not imply “grant of arms” in any way. Grant of arms can only be issued by official heraldic authorities.
The status of armorial bearings can be recorded as “granted”, “inherited”, “in honour” , “assumed” or “historical”. Any registrar without proof or matriculation of the arms from a granting authority will be registered as “assumed arms” and not “granted”.
Publication of arms
All the armorial bearings registered with our society will be posted on this website and securely backed up offline for our records.
