Those who are awarded the Seri Panglima Darjah Kinabalu are entitled to use the title Datuk Seri Panglima regardless of whether the recipient is male or female.

The wife of a male member is called Datin Seri Panglima but if it’s the other way around, the husband can not use the title Datuk Seri Panglima.
