Submission Instructions

IMPORTANT: You must either have a name registered/in submission or submit a name with the submission; otherwise, it will be returned.

For the form, the top part should be self-explanatory. Please ensure you include your complete mailing address, including city, state, and zip code, as notification of submission acceptance or return is sent via snail mail.

Submission Requirements: You will need two copies of the color form and one of the line-art form.

For questions about the form or about device changes, please work with a herald to ensure you fill out the form correctly.

Name Form

For the name form, again the top part should be self-explanatory. Please ensure you include your complete mailing address, including city, state, and zip code, as notification of submission acceptance or return is sent via snail mail.

In the Name Processing Preferences, most of the questions should be self-explanatory, and they mean exactly what they say.

• I will NOT accept any changes to my name – If changes are required to make the name registerable, no changes will be made and the name will be returned.
• I will accept the following changes – be clear and explicit about what changes you will accept
• If name must be changed, I care most about- check the ones that are important and note what about them is important
• [Optional] Please CHANGE my name to be authentic for – be specific about what you want, and the heralds will try to get you there, although the result may not be what you wanted.
• I will NOT allow creation of a holding name – Do not check this box. If you don’t already have a name registered, you are submitting a device with the name, and your name cannot be registered, it AND THE DEVICE will be returned.

Submission Requirements: You will need to submit two copies of both the form and any additional documentation pages.

For questions about the form or about name changes, please work with a herald to ensure you fill out the form correctly.

Payment and Submission

When you are ready to submit, you will need to pay for the submission before sending. This process involves submitting a Google form, waiting for the invoice, paying the invoice, and sending the receipt with the submission.

Each submission form costs $7.00.

NOTE: If you are submitting more than one of a type of form (ex. Multiple names or badges), you will need to complete the form/process for each instance of that form. There is no way today to pay for more than one of each type of form.

1. IMPORTANT: Before going farther, make a copy of all submission forms for your records, in case you need to resubmit for some reason.
2. Go to https://bit.ly/PayAtenHerald. Complete and submit the form
   1. Please use a valid email address that you regularly check.
   2. Please select the form type(s) you are submitting.
   3. When prompted, select your payment method: PayPal or cashiers’ check/money order
   4. You do NOT need a PayPal account to use the PayPal payment method
   5. In both cases, you will receive an invoice with payment instructions within ~48 hours
   6. In both cases, you will need to complete payment to receive a receipt
3. Wait for the invoice to be emailed to the address you provided.
4. Pay the invoice via the appropriate method
   1. If you selected PayPal, your invoice will include a link to PayPal to pay the invoice
   2. If you selected cashiers’ check/money order, the invoice will include instructions and address for sending the check
5. >Wait for the receipt for your invoice payment
   1. For PayPal, this will be nearly instantaneous, and should be sent to the same email address as the invoice
   2. For cashiers’ check/money order, this will take several days for the check to be received by the Kingdom Exchequer and the receipt to be sent back to you (I believe by snail mail, but I’m not sure)
6. When you have received the receipt, make a copy of said receipt and package it with the submission paperwork:
   1. Device – Two color and one line-art (coloring page) forms. Please ensure you either have a name in submission or registered when you submit the device
   2. Badge – Two color and one line-art (coloring page) forms
   3. Name – Two copies of the form plus any additional documentation pages and copies
7. Mail the entire package (forms and receipt) to the Parhelium Herald (submissions):
   • Linda Miku
   • 2527 E. 3rd Street
   • Tucson AZ 85716-4114

Once submitted to Parhelium, the complete submission process can take 8-9 months to complete, and you will hear from Parhelium with the result. In addition, the submission herald or another herald may reach out to you with questions related to the submission, so monitor your email. Heralds can help you track (roughly) your submission through the process.
