§ 2.Any micronation, individual or organisation can have their coats of arms or non-heraldic devices registered in the MRA upon application. The College of Arms reserves the right to refuse registration if:

§ 5.Registrations in the MRA are ordered so that each micronation or international organisation is listed in alphabetical order. For each micronation the national coat of arms or non-heraldic device is listed first, then the coats of arms of sovereigns and their families are listed and then all other coats of arms are listed in alphabetical order of the armigers' names.
§ 6.If a heraldic device has particular significance to a micronation's culture and history but it is known under a different name in macronational heraldry, then its micronational name shall take precedence.
§ 8. Changes to arms are subject to approval to ensure the protection of intellectual property.
§ 9.These rules can be altered at any time by the College of Arms without notice.
