Individuals and organizations can purchase and have flags flown over the United States Capitol Building for special occasions such as retirements, birthdays and Eagle Scout Awards. These flags are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Architect of the Capitol. It is also possible to get an official United States flag that has not been flown over the Capitol.

To order a flag, please complete the form below and mail it to Senator Begich’s office with a check or money order made out to the “Keeper of the Stationery.” If you have any questions please call Senator Begich’s Washington D.C. office at 202-224-3004.

Please note:

• The Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1996 (P.L. 104-53), set a fee of $4.05 to cover the handling cost for each U.S. flag flown over the Capitol.

• The Senate Rules Committee has also determined each Senator’s office must also collect a $4.00 postage fee for each flag mailed to the constituent.

• Please allow 4-6 weeks for Senator Begich's office to receive and process your flag request, as mail service to Washington, D.C. Senate office buildings is significantly delayed. If you would like your flag flown on a certain day, the office should receive your flag two months prior to that date.

• If your order arrives too late for your flag to be flown on the date requested, your flag will be flown on the earliest date possible.
