The Durham County Register of Deeds office participates in the North Carolina Database Application for Vital Events (NCDAVE). This is a statewide system which permits the deeds office in each county to issue certified copies of birth records for applicants born in the state of North Carolina from 1971 – present.
May be obtained in person, by mail, or via online request. Certified copies are $10 each. Payment is acceptable by cash, certified check, money order or debit/credit card. A valid identification is required.
The Notary Oath is offered to those who have successfully completed the notary public class. The Register of Deeds office does not notarize documents for the public.
