Under South African law, everyone has the right to bear a coat of arms as he pleases, as long as he doesn’t infringe on anyone else's rights in doing so. There is no authority which can grant arms, as there is in, say England and Scotland. Registration of arms is a voluntary means of recording ownership, to protect arms against misuse or usurpation by others.

The Bureau has taken over the records of names, uniforms and badges (which include some corporate arms) previously registered by the Department of the Interior (1935-1959) and the Department of Education, Arts & Sciences (1959-1963), and the municipal arms previously registered by the provincial administrations (1949-1969).

Originally, applications had to be approved by the Heraldry Council before the Bureau could register them, but the power of approval was delegated to the Bureau in 1969, though the Bureau can still refer applications to the Council (or, since 1980, its Heraldry Committee) when necessary. In 1980, the Bureau was authorised to delete arms from the register, either on an applicant's request or, in the case of official, municipal or corporate arms, if the organisation concerned no longer exists.
