Why can’t this be done online? The process is easy and the instructions are easy to follow, but the method; 30% online and 70% paper/snail-mail is what I want to criticize. Why can’t it be 100% online? I had to dig out my printer and reconnect it for a pic of my drivers license, and find my checkbook that I hardly ever use these days for payment. It did provide me an opportunity to teach my 17 year old how to write a check, so maybe it’s not all that bad? California made me notarize a birth certificate request document then kicked it back for having the year “YYYY” vs “YY”, so you got them beat by 3 stars.

I thought of Vital Records right away I thought of Vital Records as soon as I needed the birth certificate of my father. Their process works well but I feel the process could be explained better. One cannot perform the request 100% on-line. It requires paperwork delivered to your home. I could not track the progress of my request on-line, only the delivery. I was surprised to learn that my father's name was different than I knew. I wish I could talk to someone about it but I guess one can submit a revision which I don't understand. It takes a few weeks to get the product but in a reasonable amount of time.

Vital Records has been very helpful in… Vital Records has been very helpful in obtaining a copy of my birth certificate. I will use them again the next time I need help and I will recommend them to my family and friends.

The Deception For $89 I completed the form and expected to receive my birth certificate. Approximately one week later, I receive documents to ‘again’ complete the order request for additional funds. I sent an email requesting at least $70 in refund, you did send paperwork, but the request went unfulfilled. Would like some form of reimbursement, since the forms can be downloaded for free. Will see what response, if any, is provided after the review. Kind regards

SCAM SCAM SCAM Been over a month and still have no birth certificate. No records at Vital Statistics about the order to obtain my birth certificate. Sent money to you and got a piece of paper to fill out and envelopes, but now nothing. Thanks for stealing my money. Also reported to BBB and post negative posting online.
