It also links to the A to Z list of state organizations, the State Employee Directory and contact pages for the Governor and legislators.

NC.gov's State Organizations A to Z list is a table of North Carolina state agencies and offices, each with a tap-to-call phone number, a website link and its parent agency's acronym. Filter it with the search box or sort by name, phone or acronym.
Sorting by phone lets you see whether a number that called you belongs to a listed office. Either way, call back on the number in the table. The Governor's Office is 919-814-2000 and the Department of Justice is 919-716-6400. Some entries have no phone number.
