Wake County does not maintain a 'No Knock' registry. Within municipalities, posting a 'No Solicitors' sign at the residence has the same effect under local ordinances. NC state law (NCGS §66-67.5) provides a Do Not Call list for phone solicitations but not door-to-door.
There is no county-wide or state-wide 'No Knock' registry in NC. The closest equivalent is a posted 'No Solicitors' or 'No Trespassing' sign. Once posted, any solicitor who knocks may be cited for violating the local solicitation ordinance or charged with trespass under NCGS §14-159.13 if they refuse to leave. Religious and political canvassers retain First Amendment protection but most courts uphold the ability to require respect for a posted sign. The NC Do Not Call registry (NCGS §75-102) covers telephone solicitations only. Federal Do Not Knock registries exist for specific industries (e.g., FCC for cable) but not generally.
Trespass after warning sign: Class 2 misdemeanor under NCGS §14-159.13 — up to 60 days + $1,000. Municipal solicitation violations: typical $50-250 civil penalty.
