The Low Countries were united as the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815, and were divided in 1830 at the time of the Belgian revolt. The royal arms and those of the provinces, local governments and other official authorities, as well as the arms of the nobility, are under official control, but those of private citizens are not. A number of regional heraldic registries fill this need.
