As Tokelau is currently a non-self-governing colonial territory of New Zealand, the Flag of New Zealand is the official flag flown in Tokelau. An alternative and unofficial flag is often flown by islanders. It is very likely that if Tokelau gains self-governance or independence, a new flag will be made official.
