Good or Bad? Tell Us About Your Experience with NC DAVE

As implementation of the new online system for death certificates, North Carolina Database Application for Vital Events (NC DAVE), continues we want to hear from you!

Under state law, physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners may certify deaths. These individuals who sign death certificates are referred to as “medical certifiers”. Any Medical Certifier who signs death certificates or could need to sign one in the future must be registered for NC DAVE.

Medical certifiers who use paper death certificates can be fined as of September 1, 2022. Assessments begin with a penalty of $250 for the first violation, $500 for the second violation, and $1,000 for the third and each subsequent violation.
