NOTE:  The modern Order was originally registered in Belgium in 1933 as the "Ordre du Temple de J
érusalem" (OTJ) - in English, the "Order of the Temple of Jerusalem" (OTJ).  It was also known as the "Sovereign and Military Order of Jerusalem" (OSMTJ).  However numerous spurious 'Orders' have used the OSMTJ designation, claiming to be legitimate Knights Templar.  Consequently, in 2023, it was decided to re-register the Order again, in Belgium, under its original name "Ordre du Temple de Jérusalem" (OTJ).  Grand Priories are permitted to retain the OSMTJ title or the use the revised OTJ one.  The Grand Prior of All Britain decided to use the OTJ title and, in order to protect this name, he  has also registered the "Ordre du Temple de Jérusalem" (OTJ) within the company law of England & Wales.
