Flag requests
 |
The flag can be flown on any day of the year to honor special occasions, events and holidays. A certificate will accompany each flag you order, showing the day it was flown and the occasion for which it was flown.
To request a flag from my office you can either submit a request online or download a flag request form and mail it in. Requests made online must be paid for using bank account or credit/debit card information. A mailed-in flag request form will require you to send a personal check or money order for the cost of the flag.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ONLINE REQUESTS
Please submit your flag request no later than a week before the fly date and no more than 30 days in advance of the fly date. After the flag has flown, please allow for approximately 3 to 4 weeks to receive your flag. The flag office requires 2 weeks to fulfill a request after the fly date. Once the request is filled, flags are mailed out regular postal mail and take 1 to 2 weeks for delivery. Because of the complexity of flying such a high volume of flags, we are unable to provide refunds or order cancellations 24 hours after a flag request transaction.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR MAILED IN FLAG REQUESTS
Please allow for 8-10 weeks for our office to process your flag request especially if you would like your flag flown on a specific date. Our mail process takes several weeks because of the Senate security process, and the flag office requires 2 weeks to fulfill a request. Once the request is filled, flags are mailed out regular postal mail and take 1 to 2 weeks for delivery.
Option 2: Download and Print the Flag Requests Form
Download the flag request form (PDF file) and use it to complete the order on your computer. The form will calculate costs automatically for you. This form requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.
