Register of Deeds
We are proud to serve the citizens of Henderson County as custodians of some of the county's most historic documents.
Our office records documents Monday through Friday, 9:00AM to 5:00PM.
Marriage Licenses are issued BY APPOINTMENT ONLY between the hours of 10:00AM and 3:00PM Monday through Friday.
Please note that we are a recording office and not legal authorities and therefore cannot advise in any legal capacity. Our primary purpose is to record transactions for public record that are executed in accordance with North Carolina Real Estate Recording Standards. Checks, cash, money orders, and credit/debit cards are accepted forms of payment. There is a processing fee charged by the vendor and not by Henderson County if a credit/debit card is used.
