Order a United States flag flown over the U.S. Capitol
This page will provide you with information on how to order a United States Flag through my Washington office.
If you choose to, you may have the flag flown over the Capitol Building. All flags flown over the Capitol are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Flags may be flown for a particular person, event, or organization, and may be flown on a specific date. If multiple flags are requested to be flown, they will all be flown on the same date and shipped at the same time. If you need flags flown on different dates, you must submit separate order requests for each separate date to fly the flags.
There is no limit on the number of flags you may order. Flags can be purchased in multiple sizes. All flags are sold at cost and take approximately three to four weeks for delivery, after the date they are flown. If you choose not to have the flag flown over the Capitol, the cost and shipping time are both less and no certificate will accompany the flag.
Here's an example of what a certificate accompanying the flag might say:
This flag was flown for John Smith in recognition of his retirement from teaching after 40 years of dedicated service.
Because we do not accept credit card payments, we need all flag requests to be sent by mail with a check or money order. Please use the order form below to specify the flags and certificate information you want, then click on the "Calculate Prices" link below for further instructions.
For questions or problems using this form, please call 202.225.6216.
To proceed to the order form, please first fill in who is purchasing
the flag, and where the order will be sent.
