Scam

I was unaware that when completing the request, it would not result in receipt of my certified birth certificate; instead, more paperwork and another fee. This felt like a scam to me. Although I was refunded my $89.00 payment, I would not recommend this service to anyone.

Still waiting for my Marriage Certificate

Sent my application for a marriage certificate and you received it on 6/8/2022. I have yet to receive my Mit in the mail at home. I just called your Customer Service # and was told it could take 3-5 weeks, today is 4 weeks so hence why I rated you 2 STARS ! I hope I receive it next week. They asked if my personal check had been cashed and I said I don't know - not at home right now so I'll check tonight. I hope it comes next week because I can't get my Husband's Social Security until I give SSA my marriage certificate after 42 years of marriage. Thanks Esther

Hi Chi! We do offer the best vital records document preparation service to get your vital records from the comfort of your home. If you are living in the state where the person on record was born, you will definitely get faster service by going to the state office but you will have to physically go there and spend time in line. With any online vital records service your application will have to be mail to the corresponding health department and each health department has its own processing time and state fees. Our service fees are one of the cheapest and include a fully prepared application, pre-paid shipping label filled with the best location for your case and a detailed notice to make sure your application will be completed without errors.
