Department of Health and Human Services said <br />Wednesday. <br />The system will launch on a staggered rollout starting Oct. 19 affecting Buncombe, Durham, <br />Forsyth, Guilford, Johnston, Mecklenburg, Orange and Wake counties. <br />The system will be known by the acronym NCDAVE, short for NC Database Application for <br />Vital Events. <br />Through NCDAVE, North Carolina’s funeral directors, medical certifiers and medical <br />examiners will compile death information electronically, which can then be submitted to <br />local registrars for the creation of a death certificate and then onward to registers of deeds <br />for issuance. <br />Statewide implementation is anticipated by June with 19 additional counties going online in <br />December. <br />Support Local Journalism
