On 1 January 2020, the old Tjeldsund Municipality merged with Skånland Municipality from Troms County into the new Tjeldsund Municipality. The result of this merger is that the new Tjeldsund Municipality took over the symbols of the old Tjeldsund Municipality, i.e. the symbols did not change.

Coat of Arms

image by Tomislav Šipek, 13 November 2015

Blazon: I sølv et blått Antonius-kors. In English: Argent a cross of St. Anthony azure
Approved by the crownprince-regent's resolution of 29 June 1990 after a drawing by Arvid Sveen from Vadsø.
The symbolic is rather stightforward: http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Tjeldsund The T is the town's initial, the colour blue refers to the sea. However, the municipal web site provides another explanation as well: the blue shape also stand for Tjeldsund and Ramsund straits connecting the mainland, the Tjeldøya island and part of the Hinnøya island.
