Mission
The people of Camden County elect the Register of Deeds. Our mission, as mandated by North Carolina General Statues, is to receive, record, index and maintain some of the most important records a citizen will ever need. Our Land Conveyances begin in 1777 when Camden County separated from Pasquotank County.
On-line searches for land conveyances are available by name from May 3, 1999 can be found at the link below.
Camden began recording Birth and Death Records in 1913 and Marriage Records in 1848. All vital records are available for copying and certification in our office. In North Carolina, the county in which the event took place records and files the vital record. Our vital records are not available on-line.
Three state agencies govern the Register of Deeds: the Legislature, the Secretary of state, and the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The Institute of Government advises and helps us.
Other services we offer to the professional community and public include the recording of various legal documents such as deeds, deeds of trust and plats. We also administer notary oaths and maintain a record of all notaries commissioned in Camden County.
For information regarding notary forms for re-certification or initial appointments and address changes, please contact the Secretary of State's Office at http://www.sosnc.com.
