The name of the municipality could be translated as "Nicolas on Drava field/valley", and the coat of arms reflects much of the name.

The coat of arms and flag are prescribed by tdecision Odlok o
grbu in zastavi Obcine Miklavz na Dravskem polju, adopted on1
June 2000, and published in the regional official gazette
Medobcinski uradni vestnik, nr 12/2000, str. 311.
The text and images are available

The flag is of the same greenish field as in the coat of arms with the arms set in the middle, always hoisted vertically, in ratio 1:2.
This flag is explicity allowed to be used by the citizens of the municipality, so making it both the civil and government flag. Most of other Slovenian municipal flags are by default only to be used by the municipal authorities, that is they are government flags.

The crozier and balls are coloured clay yellow. The four regions of the green field made by the waves symbolize the four local communities that make up the municipality.
The shades are given in CMYK scale as:
