Welcome to the Nash County Register of Deeds Office

Anne J. Melvin

The Register of Deeds Office is provided for in the general statutes of North Carolina. Registers of Deeds are elected to four-year terms by the citizens of the county the Registrar serves. The Register of Deeds serves as custodian and manager of large numbers of public records. By law, the Register of Deeds is charged with the integrity, completeness, accuracy, and safekeeping of these public records. I, Anne Melvin, am currently serving as Nash County Register of Deeds.

The Nash County Register of Deeds Office has real estate records dating back to 1777. Marriage records are available since 1862. Birth and death records are available since October of 1913. All records can be searched through either hard copy or online indexes.

I would like to welcome you to the Nash County Register of Deeds' website. My staff and I are available to assist you Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.

Deeds from 1777 thru 1969 can be accessed thru the "Online Index Book Name Search" at the lower left of this page.
