The Kingdom requires its citizens to register its ships, both to make response to emergencies easier but also to keep track of a ship and where it is potentially going or who owns it. Although Citizens and Nobles can own a ship, it has to be an unarmed ship. They can, however, purchase a license to buy weapons for the ship. Royalty on the other hand can own an armed ship without the lease but actually still need to buy the license.
The format for a civilian ship registration is listed below:

A company can own its own private security force as long as that force doesn't target military or Kingdom assets. All private company ships are restricted to civilian grade weaponry; they do not have access to military grade. Companies that produce military-grade weaponry are protected by the military.
A ship that is owned by the Kingdom is a ship that is part of one of its various divisions. An example are City Guard ships, those are Kingdom owned.
Citizens and Noblemen can purchase unarmed vessels, such as transports, freighters, science ships and exploration vessels, etc… Royalty on the other hand can own armed versions of those vessels.
If a citizen or noblemen wants to arm their ship, for whatever reasons, they must purchase a license to do so. This is known as a 'Weaponized License', it works in similar fashion to a lease; in that the buyer has to be a seasonal fee to keep the license but must also purchase the turrets from a government supplier, any armed ship requires this license, whether they are owned by royalty or non-royalty. Civilians are restricted to civilian grade weapons, they are not allowed to lease or own military grade.
All leases include a ship’s crew, when a person purchases a weapon license, which also includes the crew needed to maintain those weapons. This crew can be excluded 'if' the owner of the ship already has people who can maintain a weapon.
Vessels owned by a member of the Royal Family can pick their own crews, but must still have their personal guard with them.
