The symbols of Nuporanga are prescribed by Municipal Law No. 627 of 5 June 1978. The symbols were designed by the local writer José Aleixo Irmão, who published in 1980 the book "Símbolos de Nuporanga - Brasão, bandeira e hino".
The flag is quartered white-green by a red cross. The municipal coat
of arms is placed in the first quarter.

The coat of arms is "Or a Calvary cross surrounded by two flames all gules a
base vert two anchors argent crossed per saltire. The shield surmounted by a
mural crown argent ports sable. The shield supported by two branches of coffee
fructed proper. Below the shield a scroll or inscribed with the motto 'MAGNAM
FACIO PATRIAM' ['PATRIAN' on the drawing, most probably erroneous] in letters
gules." The coat of arms was modernized, in accordance with the original design
and with the rules of heraldry, by Municipal Law No. 1,000 of 7 June 2006.
