A. Yes, if they are an Australian citizen. They can apply to the English College of Arms for a grant of Arms as that organisation asserts it has the right to grant Arms to any of Her Majesty’s subjects where there is no indigenous heraldic body in the Commonwealth country in which they reside and where the Queen is still Head of State.
