The goal of this program is to assure vital records are filed as required by state statutes and are submitted to the North Carolina State Division of Vital Records within the required time period.
The health director appoints deputy registrars to process vital records. The purpose of vital registration is to administer and enforce the General Statutes of North Carolina for Vital Statistics and related laws.

It is the responsibility of the hospital to file birth certificates and funeral directors to file death certificates with local deputy registrars. Certified copies of birth and death certificates are available at the Granville County Register of Deeds, Vance County Register of Deeds, or from the North Carolina Office of Vital Records.
