The Office of the Mayor is pleased to recognize the people, programs, and events that make Dallas a vibrant city by issuing ceremonial documents. A ceremonial document is a proclamation, special recognition, or congratulatory letter that recognizes a City of Dallas resident, event, or organization.
The Office of the Mayor will make the final decision on whether a ceremonial item is issued and reserves the right to decline any ceremonial item without further details.
Steps to requesting a ceremonial document:
- Read the Policy & Procedure for Ceremonial Documents
here.
- Determine which
type of ceremonial document is adequate for your request.
- If you are requesting a
proclamation or a
special recognition, you will need to provide a written draft at the time the request is submitted. Ceremonial documents requested annually must provide new information (i.e. theme, statistics, and impact).
- Submit your request via the online portal
30 days before your deadline or event date. Due to the high volume of requests, please allow 2-3 weeks for processing.
