Mientras que algunas instrucciones específicas difieren un poco entre los países, lo que sigue es casi una verdad universal:
- La bandera nacional debe estar por encima de cualquier otra bandera
- La bandera nacional nunca debe tocar el suelo
- Se debe mostrar respeto a la bandera - incluyendo el saludo a la bandera
- Banderas hechas andrajos no se deben mostrar o exhibir pero deberán eliminarse de forma privada, preferiblemente con fuego

El procedimiento para doblar la bandera nacional varía según el país. Si su país y bandera no está en esta lista, por favor siéntase libre de investigar y agregarlo a la lista.
Bermuda
El protocolo de la bandera para Bermuda debe seguir el mismo que del Reino Unido porque es un territorio británico.
Canadá
No existe un método oficial de doblar la bandera para el uso diario. Hay, sin embargo, un método similar a la utilizada en los Estados Unidos cuando se dobla una bandera para fines ceremoniales tal como un funeral. Más información (sólo disponibles en inglés) se puede encontrar en la página web de Canadian Directorate of History and Heritage (Dirección Canadiense de Historia y Patrimonio).
Reino Unido
Hay dos métodos utilizados generalmente en doblar la bandera británica. El primero se llama Romper y se usa generalmente durante izamiento de la bandera. La bandera británica se dobla por la mitad a lo largo (a lo largo de la franja roja central de la Cruz de San Jorge) y luego por la mitad, con el doblez llegando al borde. El último tercio de la bandera se dobla hacia dentro y luego el resto se enrolla hacia el lado al asta. La bandera se fija con un pedazo de algodón ligero o cuerda. Cuando izada, un fuerte tirón de la driza se romperá la cadena y permitirá que la bandera vuele libre.
El otro método es generalmente usado cuando la bandera cubre a un ataúd. La manera de doblarla es similar al que se usa en los Estados Unidos. Además de estos, no hay otros métodos oficiales para doblar la bandera británica. Debe ser izada y bajada con respeto, y que no toque el suelo.
Los Estados Unidos
Title 4 Chapter 1 of the United States Code, conocido como el protocolo de la bandera estadounidense, adoptado por primera vez en 1924 y modificado hasta el presente, regula la etiqueta de la bandera para una variedad de circunstancias que garantiza que el símbolo nacional sea tratado adecuadamente.

La simplicidad de la bandera cristiana hace esta parte fácil.
7a
La bandera tiene un campo blanco, con una cruz latina roja dentro de un cantón azul. El tono del color rojo en la cruz simboliza la sangre que Cristo derramó en el Calvario. El color azul representa las aguas del bautismo, así como la fidelidad de Cristo. El color blanco representa la pureza de Cristo. En la vexilología convencional, una bandera blanca significa rendirse, una referencia a la descripción bíblica de la actitud pacífica y la rendición de Cristo. Las dimensiones de la bandera y el cantón no tienen especificaciones oficiales.
7b
La cruz representa la muerte de Jesús, para que podamos vivir para siempre. La cruz es un símbolo reconocible instantáneo del cristianismo.

The Zambian flag was slightly modified in 1996. The shade of green used in the 1964 flag was replaced with a brighter and lighter green and the eagle was slightly altered so as to be more like the one used in the Zambian coat of arms.
The design of the national flag of Zambia is described in National Flag and Armorial Ensigns Act of 4 June 1965.[1] Green with an orange coloured eagle in flight over a rectangular block of three vertical stripes coloured from left to right in red, black and orange; of overall dimensions 3:2; and to the following colour specifications: "Spectrum Green", British Colour Council Shade reference 100. "Union Jack Red", British Colour Council Shade reference 210. "Jet Black", British Colour Council Shade reference 220. "Spectrum Orange", British Colour Council Shade reference 57.
Symbolism
The flag's colours and emblems are rich in symbolism. Each of the four colours represents an aspect of Zambia: green for the country's natural resources and vegetation; red for its struggle for freedom; black for its people and orange for its mineral wealth (primarily copper). The eagle is an African fish eagle, which also appears in the national coat of arms and represents the people's ability to rise above the nation's problems.
Flag protocol
By law, the Zambian flag should be flown only between the hours of sunrise and sunset and may be flown: - at buildings or premises owned or occupied by the Government; - at buildings or premises owned or occupied by local government authorities; - at buildings or premises owned or occupied by any statutory board or statutory corporation; - at state-aided schools; - on any motor car, boat or ship in or by which a Minister of Government is for the time being travelling; - on any ship registered as Zambian.
The flag is not allowed to be flown by any other individual or institution without express written permission from the Minister except on the following occasions: - on the following public holidays, namely: Africa Freedom Day, Heroes Day, Unity Day, and Independence Day; - on such other days or occasions as the Minister may declare for this purpose. Flag of Zambia
The Southern Sudanese government also specifies that the colours of the flag are to represent:
- Black: Black African skin. - Red: Blood that was shed by the liberation struggle martyrs. - Green: The country's natural resources and verdant land. - White: Peace attained after many years of the liberation struggle. - Blue: Waters of the Nile River, a source of life for the country. - Yellow: The unity of the states making up South Sudan.

The flag of Tanzania consists of a yellow-edged black diagonal band divided diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner, with a green upper triangle and blue lower triangle. Adopted in 1964 to replace the individual flags of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, it has been the flag of the United Republic of Tanzania since the two states merged that year. The design of the present flag incorporates the elements from the two former flags.
The United Kingdom – together with its dominion South Africa and fellow Allied power Belgium – occupied the majority of German East Africa in 1916 during the East African Campaign. Three years later, the British were tasked with administering the Tanganyika Territory as a League of Nations mandate. It was turned into a UN Trust Territory after World War II, when the LN dissolved in 1946 and the United Nations was formed. In 1954, the Tanganyika African Association – which spoke out against British colonial rule – became the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) under the leadership of Julius Nyerere and Oscar Kambona. The aim of the political party was to attain independence for the territory; its flag was a tricolour consisting of three horizontal green, black and green bands.Shortly before independence in 1961, elections were held in Tanganyika. After the TANU won comprehensively, the British colonial leaders advised them to utilize the design of their party's flag as inspiration for a new national flag. As a result, yellow stripes were added, and Tanganyika became independent on 9 December 1961.
In April 1964, both Tanganyika and Zanzibar united in order to form a single country – the United Republic of Tanzania. Consequently, the flag designs of the two states were amalgamated to establish a new national flag. The green and black colours from the flag of Tanganyika were retained along with the blue from Zanzibar's flag, with a diagonal design used "for distinctiveness".[3] This combined design was adopted on 30 June 1964. It was featured on the first set of stamps issued by the newly unified country.

St.Pierre and Miquelon (French islands close to Newfoundland with no Adventist presence)
Saint Pierre and Miquelon are a self-governing territory of France. The stylish flag features a red sailing ship on a blue field. The three-part verticle band on the left side displays the heraldic arms of local settlements established by French colonists from the Basque Country (top), Brittany (center), and Normandy (bottom).&
The Flag of France also flies in Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
Blue and red are the traditional colours of Paris, used on the city's coat of arms. Blue is identified with Saint Martin, red with Saint Denis. At the storming of the Bastille in 1789, the Paris militia wore blue and red cockades on their hats. White had long featured prominently on French flags and is described as the "ancient French colour" by Lafayette.[1] White was added to the "revolutionary" colors of the militia cockade to "nationalise" the design, thus creating the tricolour cockade.[1] Although Lafayette identified the white stripe with the nation, other accounts identify it with the monarchy.[3] Lafayette denied that the flag contains any reference to the red-and-white livery of the Duc d'Orléans. Despite this, Orléanists adopted the tricolour as their own.
Blue and red are associated with the Virgin Mary the patron saint of France, and were the colours of Charlemagne's ensign and war cry, "Montjoie". The colours of the French flag may also represent the three main estates of the Ancien Régime (the clergy: white, the nobility: red and the bourgeoisie: blue). Blue, as the symbol of class, comes first and red, representing the nobility, comes last. Both extreme colours are situated on each side of white referring to a superior order.[4] Lafayette's tricolour cockade was adopted in July 1789, a moment of national unity that soon faded. Royalists began wearing white cockades and flying white flags, while the Jacobins, and later the Socialists, flew the red flag. The tricolour, which combines royalist white with republican red, came to be seen as a symbol of moderation and of a nationalism that transcended factionalism.
The three colours are occasionally taken to represent the three elements of the revolutionary motto, liberté (freedom: blue), égalité (equality: white), fraternité (brotherhood: red); this symbolism was referenced in Krzysztof Kieślowski's three colours film trilogy, for example.
United States (excluding Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands which are in IAD)
The flag of the United States features thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white; there is a blue rectangle in the upper hoist-side corner bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars; the 50 stars represent the 50 states; the 13 stripes the 13 original colonies. The flag is known as Old Glory, and no one knows for certain who designed it. Most historians believe that U.S. Congressman, Francis Hopkinson was the original designer, while a few still believe that Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress, made the first one.&
US Pacific territories of Guam, Northern Marianas, and Wake Island
The flag of Guam was designed on the island, and officially adopted in 1917. As a territory of the United States it features traditional U.S. colors, along with a symbolic seal that includes a swaying palm tree, sand, and the waters of the Pacific Ocean.&
The flag of Northern Mariana Islands was officially adopted in 1972. The islands are a territory of the United States, symbolized by the centered white star. Under that star, a gray latte stone is representative of a traditional foundation stone, one used in building. The surrounding wreath is comprised of colorful local flowers.&
The Wake Island flag includes the colors of the US flag, a maps of the 3 islands that make up the territory and three white stars representing those islands. The flag clearly conveys the connection to the United States.
Palau
The flag of Palau was adopted on 1 January 1981, when the island group separated from the United Nations Trust Territory and became a republic. Previously, the flag of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands was flown jointly with the United Nations and American flags. Like some other flags of several other Pacific island groups, blue is the colour used to represent the ocean and the nation's place within it.
The flag's very simple design belies the depth of meaning attributed to it. The explanation for the choice of colours is rooted in the history and customs of the Palauan people. The bright blue of the field, which might be assumed to be symbolic of the Pacific Ocean, is in fact a representation of the transition from foreign domination to self-government. The golden disk, which sits slightly off centre toward the hoist, represents the full moon. The Palauans consider the full moon to be the optimum time for human activity. At this time of the month, celebrations, fishing, sowing, harvesting, tree-felling, and the carving of traditional canoes are carried out. The moon is a symbol of peace, love, and tranquility.
The Marshall Islands
The flag of the Marshall Islands was adopted upon the start of self-governance, May 1, 1979. The flag was designed by Emlain Kabua, who served as the first First Lady of the republic.
The Marshall Islands were part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands administered by the United States, from which the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia split. In common with other island nations in the region, this flag features the symbolic representation of the islands' place within the ocean. The rising diagonal band represents the equator, the star above representing this Northern Hemisphere archipelago. The white and orange portions of the band represent, respectively, the Ratak Chain ("sunrise") and the Ralik Chain ("sunset"), as well as symbolizing peace and courage. The star's 24 points represent the number of electoral districts, while the four elongated points represent the principal cultural centers of Majuro, Jaluit, Wotje and Ebeye.
The Federated States of Micronesia
The flag of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) was adopted on 10 November 1979. The blue field represents the Pacific Ocean, while the four stars represent the states in the federation: Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae and Yap, with the stars arranged like the points of the compass.
The flag brings together element of previous flags flown over the islands. The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands used a six star flag however the current flag excludes the stars representing Palau, the Marshall Islands and Northern Mariana, which chose not to participate in the Federation, and adds back a star because the Trust Territory flag combined two islands in the group in one of the six stars. The blue and white colors are those of the UN flag which flew over the islands from 1947 - 1965. The idea of stars representing states echos the US flag, which also flew over the islands for many years.
(these last three countries are in free association with the United States and with the three US Pacific territories form the Guam-Micronesia Mission, which became part of the North American Division in 2011.)
