Administrative history:

Badghis province was created in 1964 from parts of the province of Herat and of the former province of Maimana. The rest of the Maimana province became Faryab province.

Administrative-territorial divisions and municipalities:

Today Badghis Province has 20 591 km², with about 500 000 inhabitants. The province has 7 districts: Ab Kamari, Ghormach, Jawand, Muqur, Murghab, Qadis, and Qala-i Naw district. There are three municipalities in Badghis: Bala Murghab, Qadis, and Qala-e Now (or Qala-i Naw).

I didn't find any flag, coat of arms or emblem for the province, nor for the districts.
