The statutes of the order state (statute 32(2)) The letters specified ... may be used ... but admission or promotion to any Grade of the Order ... shall not confer any rank, style, title, dignity, appellation or social precedence whatsoever.

The Grades of the Order of St John are:

Grade II Knights or Dames of Justice or Grace (KStJ or DStJ)
Grade III (a) Chaplains (ChStJ)

Notes

  1. ↑ The post-nominal Kt for a knight bachelor is only used by those who hold a higher title which obscures their "Sir" (such as a peerage), those who hold multiple knighthoods (so as to clarify which they hold) or clergymen who do not by custom use the title "Sir".
  2. ↑ Esquire (or Esq as a suffix) is now commonly used in the UK in place of the prefix Mr in formal address, according to the "Dictionary of Genealogy" it has no real meaning; according to Buckingham Palace it is an entitlement of all British-born men. In the US, it has in many places been assumed by lawyers, but the profession has not been awarded the title by any level of government or authority, and therefore anyone may use it. Naval officers, for example, have been traditionally referred to as such in formal correspondence.
  3. ↑ The letters "PC" are used only by peers. For other Privy Counsellors, "Rt Hon" before the name suffices. The distinction is needed because peers already hold a prefix ("Rt Hon" or higher) even when they are not Privy Counsellors, while the same cannot be said of non-peers.
  4. ↑ "Member of Parliament" is used in the UK and other Commonwealth nations to describe members of the lower house of Parliament only. In the UK, members of the House of Commons are described Members of Parliament, but members of the House of Lords are not.
  5. ↑ When the London Assembly was first established in 2000 there was some debate over its members post-nominal. The most commonly used were "AM", "GLA", "MLA" and "GLAM". GLA is a short form of Greater London Authority, of which the London Assembly is part. A consensus now appears to have grown up around the use of AM.
  6. ↑ 6.0 6.1 The exact post-nominal for university degrees varies based on the faculty in which the degree was obtained
  7. ↑ The title of "1st Level Registered Nurse" is comparable to the old titles of RGN, RMN etc. The title of "2nd Level Registered Nurse" refers to those previously called Enrolled Nurses. The post-nominal letters for 1st Level Registered Nurses can be used interchangeably but not together i.e. either Your Name, RN1 or Your Name, RNA not Your Name, RN1, RNA
  8. ↑ 8.0 8.1 There are too many religious institutes, learned societies, royal academies, and professional institutions to be listed. One example is provided in each case; the format shown should be followed for other organisations, except that the initials of the organisation should be substituted.
  9. ↑ In the armed forces, two or more branches may have officers with the same or similar titles, such as "Captain," which is a rank in the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Marines. To differentiate between the branches, post-nominals such as "RN" are used. However, such post-nominals are not used for the higher positions, since the higher officers are differently-titled in each branch.
  10. ↑ 10.0 10.1 10.2 "RN" or "RNR" is used for officers with the rank of Captain or below.
  11. ↑ In the Army, the initials of the regiment or corps of the officer are used as post-nominals. Those above the rank of Lieutenant Colonel have their former regiment or corps preceded by the word 'Late'
  12. ↑ 12.0 12.1 "RAF" or "RAFVR" technically should be used for officers with the rank of Air Chief Marshal and below, though, in practice, it is used for officers with the rank of Wing Commander and below.
  13. ↑ Honoured pupils and former pupils are entitled to QS
  14. ↑ Former members and staff are entitled to ON
  15. ↑ Former members and staff are entitled to OE
  16. ↑ Former members and staff are entitled to OD
  17. ↑ Former members and staff are entitled to OG
  18. ↑ Former pupils are entitled to OA
  19. ↑ King's Scholars (or Queen's Scholars at Westminster, during the reign of a female monarch)
