Anexo:Letras postnominales en el Reino Unido

En el Reino Unido y en países de tradición británica, las letras postnominales (en inglés, post-nominal letters) se colocan después del nombre de una persona para indicar que ésta tiene una posición, oficio u honor. Una misma persona puede usar diferentes series de letras: los galardones figuran en primer lugar, en orden descendente de prioridad, seguidos por los grados y pertenencia a sociedades científicas en orden ascendente.
