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.

Famous quotes containing the words costs, granting, preparing and/or arms:
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“For granting we have sinned, and that the offence
Of man is made against Omnipotence,
Some price that bears proportion must be paid,
And infinite with infinite be weighed.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
“Once they came on a maple in a glade,
Standing alone with smooth arms lifted up,
And every leaf of foliage she’d worn
Laid scarlet and pale pink about her feet.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
