It functioned as a Conseil d'État and was composed of counsellors (French: conseillers), a prosecutor general (French: procureur général), a criminal prosecutor (French: procureur criminel), an attorney general (French: avocat général), several second presidents (French: second présidents) and one first president (French: premier président). These offices were essentially bought and sold, often passed down during generations within the same families. The purchase, sale or transfer of the office required the ratification of the Chambre des Comptes of Navarre in Pau, who acted on behalf of the king.
The registers of the Conseil Souverain of Navarre and Béarn for the period 1547 until 1620 are held Archives Départementales des Pyrénées-Atlantiques in Pau.
