Proclamation of Titleage
Revision as of 17:40, 13 September 2021 by Westarctica (talk | contribs)
A Proclamation of Titleage is a legal document by which means the Grand Duke may grant a hereditary title to an individual. Such proclamations are often accompanied by a map showing the specific Westarctican region for which the title was named.
It should not be confused with Courtesy titles, which are issued in a similar manner.
Seals used
The proclamations may or may not be stamped with the Great Seal of Westarctica or the Seal of the Grand Duke; it may also bear both seals.
Starting on 20 May 2019, all Proclamations of Titleage are stamped by the Grand Duke using the Privy Seal.
Record-keeping
All Proclamations of Titleage created after 2010 are saved in the government's national repository for verification of authenticity.
