The Buncombe County Veterans Assistance office and Vital Records office (not to be confused with the Register of Deeds office) are moving from their current location at 40 Coxe Ave. to 199 college street. The Health and Human services building on Coxe is currently being revamped with new parking.
Press release from Buncombe County Health and Human Services:
To streamline services and make access easier for customers, Buncombe County Veterans Assistance and Vital Records Offices are relocating to 199 College Street. The new location is between the Buncombe County Courthouse Annex and 205 College Street, near the College Street traffic circle. Parking for the Veterans Assistance Office and the Vital Records Office will be in the County Parking Garage located at 164 College Street in Downtown Asheville. There will also be several spaces in front of 200 College Street reserved for veterans and those needing to access vital records.
On October 12, 2015, BCHHS Veterans Assistance Offices will move to 199 College Street. The BCHHS Veterans Assistance Office offers assistance in a wide range of services to our nation’s veterans, service members and their families. BCHHS Veterans Assistance Office can help Veterans apply for services, provide connection to jobs and training, home loans, disability benefits, and access to health care. We encourage those that may be eligible for veteran’s benefits to stop by and meet our helpful County Veterans Service Officers during regular business hours: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday – Friday. More information about the Veterans Assistance Office can be found online at www.buncombecounty.org/veterans. Our officers can be reached by phone at (828) 250-5726. Interpreter services are available and free of charge.
BCHHS Vital Records will also make the move to 199 College Street. Vital Records will be open at the new location on October 26, 2015. This will situate Vital Records next to the new Register of Deeds location. The Vital Records Deputy Registrar certifies births and deaths that occur in Buncombe County and also registers home births that occur in our county. Some services require an appointment. You can call (828)250-5214 or email Vital Records at Terri.rogers@buncombecounty.org. Business hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday – Friday.
