Many New Mexicans request flags from my office for ceremonial or other purposes. These flags can be flown over the Capitol Building on a date you specify.
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.
Please note: my office can accept flag requests only from New Mexico residents. If you are not from New Mexico, please contact the senators from your state to request a flag.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ONLINE REQUESTS:
Please submit your flag request no later than a week before 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. 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 6-8 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.
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, which can be downloaded below:
