It is his or her responsibility to provide all the needed evidence. The Board will then determine if the evidence presented is sufficient to qualify for registration or certification. If more proof is needed, the individual will be informed, assisted and encouraged in the hope that full recognition can eventually be extended.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Standards and Criteria</B></div> <bR> <div> To confirm and validate all the evidence can be an expensive process, or as easy as making a few phone calls or writing a few letters. But it is very important process so that anyone certified as genuine is indeed what he or she claims to be. Hence, all fully certified claims must be proven “<B>beyond reasonable doubt</B>” or to the point of <B>90%</B><B> assurance</B>. As an example, if a court of particular country determined that a title is valid based only on a “<B>preponderance of evidence</B>” (<B>51%</B><B> assurance</B>), this would not be enough for<IMG SRC="282ee8160.jpg" border=0 width="232" height="278" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> certification. However, if, after a review of the evidence, the proof is found to be “<B>clear and convincing</B>” or at a <B>70%</B><B> level of assuranc</B>e, then the title or lineage may be certified as provisional. Provisional means there are some unanswered or perhaps unanswerable questions, but the claim is very convincing and to all obvious appearances is true and correct. As stated, full certification requires a<B> </B><B>90%</B> <B>level of assurance</B> or is, for all practical purposes, beyond any reasonable doubt. To ensure that objective decisions are made, subjective opinions or evidence will not be considered. Only factual information will be considered except under very rare and highly unusual circumstances.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Where to Start</B></div> <bR> <div> If you wish to submit genealogy that shows illustrious ancestors or the claim of being an authentic noble or royal, first submit your claim for "<B>provisional</B>" or "<B>as is</B>" registration and then we can submit the genealogy to an accredited professional firm to determine what might be required for an upgrade to the level needed for "<B>full</B>" registration or "<B>provisional</B>" or "<B>full</B>" certification. A claim for a title based upon genealogy will need, at a minimum, to be proven true<IMG SRC="3c78f4520.jpg" border=0 width="500" height="338" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> and accurate to a clear and convincing level. Then an expert may need to be hired to research the historical and house rules and current practices to determine if such a claim is possible. Often we can tell right off the bat if a claim has any merit or potential, because most doors are closed to the success of such a claim. If a title claim is directly from a "<B>de jure</B>" sovereign and that sovereign is truly a valid monarch, we will merely have to verify and confirm the grant of nobility and title with him or her. Each case, obviously, will be unique. Please see the web page on "<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id39.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Rejected Applications Unacceptable Clai"><U><B>Rejected Applications & Unacceptable Claims</B></U></A></FONT>" for what is not permitted or cannot ever be certified as authentic. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Upgrades</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><IMG SRC="36abd70c0.jpg" border=0 width="215" height="268" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="BinnerD" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> Because it can be a lengthy process to prove a title or noble ancestry to the high standard of being beyond reasonable doubt, individuals providing proof which is at the <B>preponderance level of evidence</B> (51%) could be given <B>registered status</B>, which is not a certified level. This status is reserved for genealogy only. However, as more evidence comes in, one's genealogical claim may be able to qualify for an enhanced status.</div> <bR> <div> A claimant for title(s), nobility, royalty or knighthood must qualify for <B>certified status</B>. Registration is only for genealogical claims. A claim for title(s), nobility, royalty or knighthood may never be able to be proved <B>beyond reasonable doubt</B>. In such case as stated above, they can receive <B>provisional</B><B> status</B> if the evidence is truly clear, convincing and compelling. This lesser status is a certified level and can be removed and be upgraded to full certification after a probationary period of ten years provided the individual goes public with his or her claim and that inquiries have been made and no serious objections have been raised by concerned parties. Others under different circumstances may have their provisional status removed by petition after seven years of obvious public acceptance and continued clear and convincing evidence. However, as new evidence surfaces, there is always the right to enhance one's status to a higher level. The ability to provide proof and demonstrate that something is genuine and authentic is the bottom line, and will always the main determining factor in any upgrade from provisional to full approval or certification.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Withdrawal of Approval</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="BinnerD" ><IMG SRC="2fc34dce0.jpg" border=0 width="333" height="462" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </FONT></div> <bR> <div> All complaints against an individual’s title or ancestry will be reviewed by the Certification Board. If a claim is put into serious question, for a valid and legitimate reason, the individual concerned will be put on probation, and recommendations and suggestions from experts in the field will be given to the claimant to help him or her obtain any needed proof in the hope of resolving the matter completely and forever. However, if all efforts fail and the claim remains in serious doubt, after a sufficient time has elapsed for an adequate investigation, the certification will be removed. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Certification is also withdrawn if a member fails to pay his or her yearly membership fees in a timely manner. </B>   </div> <bR> <div> Remember the Commission’s responsibility is only to validate, confirm or disconfirm the evidence or facts presented to them and judge the results. It is the claimant’s important responsibility to make sure an investigation is made and to clear up any serious allegations or contrary claims made against them, and to summit any new evidence discovered so that the certification board can have it verified and render an appropriate and accurate decision.  </div> <bR> <div> An appeal can be made to the board of directors should there be any indication of a major problem. The Commission is dedicated to make sure everyone is treated fairly, respectfully and<IMG SRC="a3887b30.jpg" border=0 width="135" height="179" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> sensibly. But the truth is what ultimately counts. Hence, neither public opinion, hearsay, debate, conjecture or criticism will alter any judgment on a claim, only verifiable and meaningful facts will have any weight in such a matter. That is, once a judgment is made, it will not be altered, changed or abrogated unless sufficient hard evidence demands otherwise. </div> <bR> <div> It is so easy to criticize and throw mud. It is much harder to produce proof that can support one’s claim or contention. We are not interested in anything but verifiable facts. All else merely clouds the issue. It does not answer any important questions, and, therefore, will not be considered relevant.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Absolute and Final Approval</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B><IMG SRC="119489cb0.jpg" border=0 width="393" height="459" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>After ten years of continuous full certification, a claim to a title is considered to be perfect and inalienable. At that time no contrary evidence will be entertained. As far as the Commission is concerned, the claim is final and absolute unless the individual fails to maintain his or her membership. </B></div> <bR> <div> Since it is often too difficult to ever make a perfect and absolute determination in regard to many lineal claims, that could not be disproved or over turned years later, the above rule cannot generally be applied to claims of ancestry. However, some claims, such as the case of a well-known historical royal or noble family, are immediately final and indisputable. They are usually already members of a recognized and respected nobiliary association. Others based upon professional spot checks of genealogical information can never be made perfect, unless an exhaustive and comprehensive investigation is made, which could be too costly to complete and often never provides perfect assurance. Nevertheless, such can achieve provisional status (70% confidence) depending on the level of assurance provided by the information furnished and based on professional evaluations by performing numerous pivotal spot checks in certain critical areas.</div> <bR> <div> <B>For </B>"<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id48.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact "><U><B>Contact</B></U></A></FONT>"<B> information or to join the Commission as a contributor or apply for</B><B><IMG SRC="3ae719e50.jpg" border=0 width="281" height="229" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B><B> certification for titles, knighthood, status or ancestry, please first read the </B>"<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Benguiat Bk BT" ><A HREF="id32.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Disclaimer, Obligatory Contract Invitat"><U><B>Disclaimer and Obligatory Contract</B></U></A></FONT>." <B>If you fully agree with them, you are welcome to contact us, make contributions, answer our survey and/or become a part of this important cause.
