The flag of Suriname (Dutch: Vlag van Suriname) was legally adopted on 25 November 1975, upon the independence of Suriname from the Netherlands.
The flag was designed as a result of a national competition.[2] It was raised for the first time on the Independence Day of the Republic of Suriname.[3] There is a legal requirement for vessels to raise the flag of Suriname when visiting another country to reduce miscommunication between other countries.[4]
