Sub-collection: U.S. GovermentUnited States // State Dept. & USN / Consular Flag
Consular officers: Noteworthy consular flag. Blue with a large white letter "C" encircled by 13 white stars. Displayed in lieu of the chief of mission's flag in the entry area and principal officer's office at a consulate general or consulate. May be displayed in the office of the head of the consular section of an embassy. Also displayed in the waiting room of the consulate. U.S. Navy Regulations paragraph 1274 authorize the display of this flag in the bow of a boat carrying a consular representative. The boat flag is 43 by 61 inches.
A version of this flag was adopted by the Department of State in 1903 to indicate the presence of an American consular officer aboard a boat in foreign waters. The same use aboard boats of the Navy was approved in 1909. A version in 10:19 proportions with a gold fringe, cord, and tassels, has since been established for display in specified locations at American consulates abroad. It can also be used as an automobile flag by the principal officer of a consular post.
