The College has a number of highly skilled heraldic artists who can be commissioned through an officer of arms. Clients include Government Departments and agencies in Britain and overseas; local authorities, institutions, universities and schools, commercial companies, as well as private individuals all over the world.
The College of Arms is the official heraldic authority for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and much of the Commonwealth including Australia and New Zealand. As well as being responsible for the granting of new coats of arms, the College maintains registers of arms, pedigrees, genealogies, Royal Licences, changes of name, and flags.
The College of Arms is unsupported from government funds and its activities are partly financed by the official fees that are payable upon grants of arms. The individual Officers of Arms are paid nominal salaries, less than £50 per annum, by the Crown, but conduct their professional practices on a self-employed basis.
