[1] The exact post-nominal for university degrees varies based on the faculty in which the degree was obtanied. "Ph.D." is not used because "Doctor" prior to the name is suffices.

[2] In the Armed Forces, two or more branches may have officers with the same or similar titles, such as "Captain," which is a position in the Royal Gotzborg Navy, Royal Army. To differentiate between the branches, post-nominals such as "RGN" are used. However, such post-nominals are not used for the higher positions, since the higher officers are differently-titled in each branch.

[3] "RGN" or "RNAS" is used for officers with the rank of Captain or below.

[4] In the Army, the initials of the regiment or corps of the officer are used as post-nominals.
