Honours conferred on you

Honours that have been conferred on you appear in your personal Honours section of the ePortal. This page covers what's there, how it relates to the public Honours service, and what to do if something looks wrong.

Reach the page from the dashboard or directly at eportal.kaharagia.org/honours.

What you'll see

Your Honours page lists every Order, Decoration, and Medal that has been conferred on you, with for each:

• The honour and (where applicable) the grade
• The date of conferral
• The reference to the Royal Kaharagian Gazette publication
• A link to the public registry entry on the Honours service
• The status of any associated insignia (issued, in production, dispatched)

If you have not been conferred any honours, the page will be empty.

Conferrals and the Gazette

Conferral of an honour takes legal effect on publication in the Royal Kaharagian Gazette. Your ePortal entry mirrors the Gazette publication and is updated when the Gazette is updated; the Gazette remains the authoritative source.

Insignia

For honours that come with physical insignia (medals, ribbons, sashes, badges), the Honours page tracks production and dispatch:

• In production: the insignia is being prepared
• Issued: the insignia is ready
• Dispatched: the insignia has been sent to your address on file

If your address has changed since conferral, update it through your profile before the dispatch step. Insignia sent to a wrong address may be considered delivered for the State's purposes.

Confirming receipt of correspondence about an honour

When the State communicates with you about a conferral or pending conferral, for example, an offer of an honour, you may receive a tokenised correspondence link in addition to (or instead of) an inbox message. The token allows you to confirm receipt and respond without needing to be signed in to the ePortal.

If you are signed in, the same correspondence appears in your inbox. Either channel is sufficient to respond.

Public registry

The conferral of an honour is a public act. Your name, the honour, the grade, and the date are visible on the Honours service public registry. This is part of the constitutional function of the honours system and is not subject to the ordinary right of erasure.

The substantive grounds of the nomination, the identity of the Nominator, and the deliberations of the institutional authority are confidential and are not published.

Reporting an error

If you believe an entry on your Honours page contains a factual error (a wrong date, a wrong grade), report it through the contact channel referencing the conferral. The State will consider whether a corrigendum should be published in the Gazette.

Common questions

• "My honour shows on the public registry but not on my ePortal Honours page." This sometimes happens briefly between Gazette publication and the ePortal sync; it normally resolves within a short period. If it persists, contact us.
• "My medal hasn't arrived." Check the dispatch status on the Honours page. If it shows dispatched and significant time has passed, contact us with the conferral reference.
• "I want to decline a conferred honour." Once conferred and gazetted, an honour is a matter of public record. Declining a future conferral is normally done at the offer stage, before publication. If you wish to formally renounce a conferred honour, contact the Office of Laws & Justice.
• "Can I see honours conferred on other people?" Yes, the public registry on the Honours service is open. You see only your own honours within the ePortal.
