Overview

The CIA Factbook for 2000 lists the following:

As far as I know some of the departments have flag and others don't. Intibuca doesn't have flag, neither arms, but after some years the arms of the Development Comitee of Intibuca is used by the department autorities as departamental arms. I believe that flags of the departments capitals are used as departamental flags when is needed, but not all the capitals have flag. Comayagua, Tegucigalpa (Francisco Morazan), Trujillo (Colon) and perhaps some others have flag. If I don't remember wrong a departamental flag was published in Estandarte.
