Mission

To serve the people of Person County in maintaining, preserving and housing the most important records of Person County and its citizens. The department strives to ensure the integrity of those records for future generations and ensure the consistency and predictability of indexing land Records, vital records and other documents entrusted to the Registrar.

All documents pertaining to land transactions are recorded and maintained in this office. Also, we keep and maintain vital records (births, deaths, and marriages), issue marriage licenses, administer Notary oaths, and retain military discharges, cemetery records, grave removals, plats and genealogy information.

In 1792, Person County was formed from Caswell County. Prior to the formation of Person County, vital records can be found at the Caswell County Register of Deeds Office, 336-694-4193.

We are committed to the proper enforcement of NC General Statutes governing our office and in providing prompt and professional service to all who use this office. We strive to serve you with professionalism and compassion realizing this may be your first experience in dealing with this office. Whether you are searching your “roots,” looking up information on property, acquiring marriage licenses, or getting a certified copy of a vital record, we are here to serve you promptly and courteously.
