Translated from municipal web site:
"The flag of Socotá, as well as the coat of arms, is not official and has no description. Enrique Diaz designed it and offerred it to the municipality."
The flag is in use, as can be seen on a photograph taken during the "Cabalgata Rutad de la Libertad" on 30 July 2008, together with the flag of the Department of Boyacá.
