Out-of-kingdom authorizations
- If you are visiting another kingdom, your equivalent authorizations will be recognized. You must follow the local kingdom's conventions and standards for armor, weapons, and equipment in order to participate in that kingdom's activities.
- If you move to another kingdom, your equivalent authorizations may be recognized for up to 6 months. After 6 months, you will need to authorize under your new kingdom's processes.
- Kingdoms are allowed to issue authorizations only to persons who reside within their established boundaries. The following exceptions are allowed:
- If your kingdom does not have an active program in an approved martial discipline, you could be authorized for that program in another kingdom. This requires:
- Approval of your Kingdom Earl Marshal, and
- Approval of the Kingdom Earl Marshal of the sponsoring kingdom, and
- Approval of the sponsoring Kingdom Deputy Marshal for that discipline (if applicable).
- The sponsoring kingdom will issue the authorization, and maintain a record and administer it in the same manner as other resident authorizations.
- If your kingdom does not have a category or weapons form within a martial discipline, you could be authorized for that category/weapons form in another kingdom. This requires:
- Approval of your Kingdom Deputy Earl Marshal for that Discipline, and
- Approval of the sponsoring Kingdom Deputy Earl Marshal for that Discipline. (If no Deputy, then the Kingdom Earl Marshal.)
- The sponsoring kingdom will issue the authorization, and maintain a record and administer it in the same manner as other resident authorizations.
- If your kingdom does not have an active program in an approved martial discipline, you could be authorized for that program in another kingdom. This requires:
- If you are formally recognized as a subject of a kingdom in which you do not reside, your authorizations are under the jurisdiction of that kingdom.
- Formal recognition that you are a subject needs to be recorded as per the requirements of the SCA Governing Documents and kingdom law and custom
- If you reside in country or location not formally claimed by any kingdom, a kingdom may choose to authorize you according to their rules and processes.
- Kingdoms are allowed to use warranted marshals from other kingdoms to conduct an authorization. The final decision to issue an authorization resides with the marshalate of the kingdom responsible for the authorization (e.g. kingdom of residence or sponsoring kingdom).
