The [[coat of arms]] was granted by royal decree on 13 December 1985. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Or (heraldry)|Or]], three [[cinquefoil]]s [[Azure (heraldry)|azure]]"'' ({{langx|no|På gull grunn tre blå fembladingar, 2-1}}). This means the arms have a [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is three five-petaled flowers. The arms show three blue flowers of the species ''[[Gentiana nivalis]]'' which are commonly called "Snow Gentian". The flowers, which are locally known as "the blue eyes of Christ", grow all over Norway, but they grow abundantly in this area. Three flowers were chosen to represent the three main settlements of the municipality: [[Aurdal]], [[Fagernes]], and [[Leira, Innlandet|Leira]]. This type of flower only opens in sunlight and heat, so it was chosen to symbolize being open and positive. The arms were designed by Bjørn Arnesen who based it off an idea by Ivar Aars. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Nord-Aurdal |access-date=2023-04-22 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Nord-Aurdal, Oppland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-05-42.html |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1985-12-13 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1985-12-13-2326 |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Kommunevåpenet for Nord-Aurdal |url=http://www.nord-aurdal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=1&AId=138&back=1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716202945/http://www.nord-aurdal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=1&AId=138&back=1 |archive-date=2011-07-16 |access-date=2009-01-04 |publisher=Nord-Aurdal kommune |language=no}}</ref>
