Q: Can I be nominated for a Knighthood or Damehood?

You can’t nominate yourself for a knighthood or damehood, but someone who understands your work and achievements can nominate you for the KBE or DBE. 

If for example a member of your family, someone who works with you, or your partner thinks you could be deserving of such a high level award, they can nominate you for recognition in the Honours List.

When making a recommendation for a knighthood or damehood, the nominator will need to provide accurate and up-to-date detailed information about their achievements. This will include details of how they have impacted on society, influenced others, changed life for the better and why their contribution stands out above all others.

Awards Intelligence can gather all the details, evidence and documentation the nominator needs to give them the best chance of success, or they can do this themselves if they have the time it takes to do so.
