About Belize and its flag
Belize's national flag is royal blue with a central white circle and red borders at the top and bottom. Its national coat of arms sits in the circle. The National Symbols Act 2025 expressly declares the flag a national symbol and specifies a 3:5 proportion.
Flag design and meaning
The statute describes a blue field, a white circle and red borders, with the coat of arms centred on the circle. It states that the two horizontal red borders are one-fifth of the total width, names Royal Blue and red colour specifications, and gives a 3:5 proportion.
- The fifty-leaf wreath of the central coat of arms: The Act states that the wreath symbolises 1950, when Belizeans began the struggle for independence.
History and adoption
Belize's National Symbols Act 2025 received assent on 11 February 2025 and places the flag's description in Schedule I. Its transitional provisions recognize particular flag uses already occurring immediately before commencement, while the Act supplies the statutory description used here.
How to recognise this flag
- Look for the national coat of arms inside a prominent white circle, rather than a simple badge.
- The combination of a royal-blue field with red bands along both the top and bottom edges is a quick identifier.
