REGISTERING YOUR NEW TARTAN

• Registration requires two samples of fabric 18 x 12 inches, so the registration cannot be completed until the fabric is woven. It is important to take account of this when calculating the length you require.
• The name of the tartan must not conflict with any Scottish armigerous family. If there is a Coat of Arms for a family or clan name already in existence, then the designer of the new tartan must seek the approval of the chief  of the 'whole name' before adopting the name for the new tartan. A similar rule applies to the names of District Tartans. A City Council or State Legislature should endorse the naming of a new tartan.
• Clients can register the tartan themselves by applying directly to the Scottish Tartans Authority (registration()tartansauthority.com ) and paying the appropriate fee of GBP 85. 

Visit the Tartans Authority web site for more a detailed explanation
