The Decoration for Diplomatic Merit is a foreign award granted by the Co-Sovereigns of Northwood-Oregon to foreign officials for meritious diplomatic service to Northwood-Oregon. It was created on 3 January 2022 by royal decree of Sovereign Carson I of Northwood-Oregon.[1] It was placed into a state of dormancy on 28 June 2023 because Northwood-Oregon was no longer independently conducting its own foreign affairs due to it's membership in the High Kingdom of Mediolaurentia but was taken out of dormancy on 31 October 2024 due to an amendment to the Constitution of Mediolaurentia that allowed constituent countries to conduct their own foreign affairs.[2][3]

The Decoration was originally founded as a state order named the Order of Diplomatic Merit.[1] It was reformed by Royal Decree III/2023 of Carson I as part of an effort to diversify the award system of Northwood-Oregon which primarily depended on various orders.[2]
