Does anyone know where I can actually petition to bear heraldic arms?

Question

a fews ago I hear that in Spain you can petition for arms via the "cronista del rey" in Madrid. The name "Vincente" is the only lead I have. Does any know?

Answer 1

You don't need to petition, just start using whatever you want.

Answer 2

Isn't Vincente Spanish for Vincent?    Guess you could look to Burkes Peerage to see if there's a coat of arms in your name, but I don't think you get to make one up and put it on the books without a royal decree.
