Wappen-Verwendung beantragen (Freistaat)

• Gesetz über das Wappen des Freistaates Sachsen
• Verordnung der Sächsischen Staatsregierung über die Verwendung des Wappens des Freistaates Sachsen

If you wish to use the coat of arms of the Free State of Saxony for your communication or other purposes, you must apply to the Saxon State Chancellery before the planned use. This is because state coats of arms are subject to special protection as national emblems. Whether and for what purposes the state coat of arms may be used is determined by the Coat of Arms Act and the Coat of Arms Ordinance of the Free State of Saxony.

A coat of arms is a sign in the form of a shield created according to certain rules. Coats of arms represent people, families, certain groups of people or personified objects, organisations and communities.

Note: As an alternative to the Saxon coat of arms, you can use the state emblem, which is freely available to everyone. The state emblem is available for free download in a classic and a modern version (see -> Further information).

Please submit for examination:

1) a pictorial representation of the desired use of the coat of arms,

2) a precise description of the purpose of the desired use of the coat of arms and

3) an explanation of whether the coat of arms is to be used for artistic or scientific purposes.
