Registering for a Peerage

[Kiltpin]

According the site of the College of Arms, "the Officers provide assistance and advice in establishing succession" to a peerage.

Yes, at 110 Guineas per hour, or part there of. Then they send their findings to the Lord Chancellor's Office, where the registration takes place. The first thing the College ask you is "What information do you have?" Either they do the work, for an enormous price, or you do the work, and they check it, for a lesser price.

One of the "advantages" used to be that you lost your right to vote for a member of the House of Commons.  Have they got the vote back, now they have lost their seats?

As well as, they can have their title(s) on their passports. Also, Baronets and Lords of the Manor of XXX (both not part of the Peerages), can be added and for some reason Freemen of any of the Cities of the UK. They used to add Fellowships as well, but no longer.

Establishing one's right to a peerage is the easy part. Learning which fork to use and unlearning the use of words such as Settee and Pardon? is much more difficult.
