State flags of Mexico

Most Mexican states do not have an official flag. For these states, a de facto flag is used for civil and state purposes, typically consisting of a white background charged with the state's coat of arms.^[1]

Three states do have official flags: Jalisco, Querétaro and Quintana Roo. For the latter two, the official state flag is simply a white background charged with the state's coat of arms.

Instead, Article 3 gives rules on how the state's coat of arms shall appear when used "in the form of a flag" (en forma de Bandera). These rules specify that the flag shall consist of the coat of arms on a white background, and give further physical specifications. Chapter 4 gives rules regarding the use of the coat of arms when it is in the form of a flag (en su modalidad de Bandera).
