Overview
The Society's heraldic consultation practice principle objective is to ensure that any and all Slovenians from individuals, institutions to corporations regardless of their location or country of residence, who wish to use heraldry will have access to it, by making available resources and expertise to encourage good heraldic practice in Slovenia and for Slovenians. This will be accomplished through working 
towards the highest standards of the art form of heraldry maintaining a traditional quality as well as the periodic introduction of new and unique Slovenian concepts in the art of heraldry, and through continued research and development in the area of the art and science of heraldry. These will manifest into registration procedures that are consistent with most international heraldic authorities or registrars.
