The House Flag Office will be closed in the event of a government shutdown. Our office will be unable to process flag requests during this lapse in funding. Our office will resume processing flag requests once the shutdown has concluded. If you have any questions regarding flag requests, please call our office at (202) 225-3032.

If you have any questions regarding the government shutdown, please visit the “Government Shutdown FAQs” page.

If you would like to order a U.S. flag from our office, please use the flag order form to calculate the price and shipping costs.

Flags are available in different sizes and fabrics. All flag purchases include a dedication message, which may be customized for the recipient. You may choose to have your new flag flown over the U.S. Capitol for an additional charge. Flags flown over the Capitol include a certificate, which may be personalized for a particular person, event, or organization.

The order form will create a printable order for you to print and send to our office with your check.

Most outdoor flags can be washed in mild detergent and thoroughly rinsed. Indoor and parade flags should be dry-cleaned. Damaged flags can be repaired and used as long as the overall dimensions are not noticeably altered. American Legion Posts and local governments often have facilities to dispose of unserviceable flags. Store your flag in a clean, well ventilated area.
