UK College of Arms Website
This is a great resource on heraldry information and the only organization I
know of the actually grants official coats of arms.
The American College of Heraldry
Though this organization does not grant coats of arms they can and do register
those arms that people are using or have designed for them. Keep in mind that
registering a coat of arms does not mean that arms have been granted by an official
heraldic authority.The only organization that grants coats of arms (that I know of)
is the UK College of Arms listed above (and they have rules about who can apply for
such grants).
The American Heraldry Society
An organization focused on the continued study of heraldry and it's use for American
citizens wishing to either research possible arms of ancestors or to obtain their own
coats of arms.
The International Association of Amateur Heralds
An Organization dedicated the the study and creation of unique coats of arms and to the
continued study of the heraldic arts.
The Royal Heraldry Society of Canada
