The Canton has a coat of arms, a flag and a seal, as well as other symbols, on which the Cantonal Assembly decides.
The symbols of the Canton shall be used next to the symbols of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in accordance to the laws of the Federation.
For the adoption of the symbols the majority of votes in the Cantonal Assembly is required.
The flag is in proportions 1:2, horizontally divided green-white-red. The green stripe takes up top 70% of the flag width, the white and red 15% each. The coat of arms is set "in the centre of the left side".
The symbols were abolished by Decision Presuda Ustavnog suda Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, adopted on 7 July 1998 by the Contitutional Court of the Federation and published on 16 September 1998 in Službene novine Tuzlansko-podrinjskog kantona, No 8 (text).
The Decision abolished Article 4 of the Constitution (that is, the name Tuzla-Podrinje Canton), as well as Articles 3 and 4 of the Law on the symbols (that is, the description of the coat of arms and of the flag).
