North Carolina Death Records
The North Carolina Vital Records Unit is responsible for registering all births, deaths,
fetal deaths, marriages, and divorces which occur in North Carolina, coding those events
for statistical research purposes, maintaining the records properly, and locating and
providing certified or uncertified copies of those records.
The Vital Records Unit has records for North Carolina for the following years:
Births (1913-Present)
Marriages (1962-Present)
Deaths (1930-Present)
Divorces (1958-Present)
Births and deaths have been registered in North Carolina state government offices only
since 1913. Prior to 1913, the state of North Carolina did not use birth records or
certificates of any kind. For birth records prior to the dates listed above, contact
the local Register of Deeds office in the county where the birth occurred. Do not contact
North Carolina Vital Records or the North Carolina State Archives, as there are no birth
records prior to 1913 in a state public office.
For North Carolina death records prior to 1930, contact the North Carolina State Archives.
A few delayed death records may exist back to 1909. Prior to this, there are no death
records of any sort other than wills and estate settlements in the North Carolina State Archives.
