Main article: National emblem of France

The coat of arms of the French Republic is not the subject of any law. Article 2 of the Constitution of France states that the only official emblem of the country is the tricolor flag. However, diplomatic emblems are used. A first version was created in 1905 and later used to represent France at the United Nations, but it is now outdated. A second version, featuring an uncommon pelta shield and oak leaves, is today widely used by the Presidency of the Republic and by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[1][2] This version appears on the cover of French passports.
