Required as of 2016:
By law (G.S. § 66-255), all DNCR divisions and facilities that hold events must complete a vendor list. The registration list must clearly and legibly show each vendor's name, permanent address, and Sales and Use Tax ID number.
Each vendor participating in an event or selling and offering goods for sale at a DNCR facility must register with the DOR and obtain a Certificate of Registration.
In order to obtain a Certificate of Registration, a person must complete form NC-BR Business Registration Application, available through online registration from the DOR website at: http://www.dornc.com/electronic/registration/index.html.
The DNCR facility must require each vendor to exhibit a valid certificate of registration for visual inspection by the DCR facility at the time of registration; and must require each vendor to keep the Certificate of Registration noticeably displayed, so as to be visible for inspection by patrons of the vendor at the places or locations at which the goods are offered for sale.
The DOR requires DNCR to submit in advance the list of all vendors registered prior to an event or prior to coming onsite to participate or sell goods. For this reason, all vendor applications are due one month prior to the event.
