    Unnecessary, predatory service. You do not need to pay this company for their "services". You can get your records from the actual local office of Vital Records where you were born OR the State Vital office where you were born FOR MUCH CHEAPER. What a disservice to citizens. - A Vital Records employee

    ****, I paid for expedited service and they just keep saying it could take a month. I am out about $100 with their fee, expedited fee, and online notary fee!! Ordered direct from my states *********** and immediately got an order number that I can track and call about daily! I would not recommend Vital Records Online to ANYONE!

    Hello, ********.

    We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced. We understand your concerns and would like to clarify the process regarding expedited services.

    Our expedited service aims to accelerate the processing time of your order to the best of our ability. However, it's important to note that expedited service does not guarantee immediate or next-day delivery. Instead, it means that we prioritize your application within our system and work to expedite the processing time as much as possible.

    The processing time ultimately depends on various factors, including the specific requirements and processing times set by the relevant ************************ in your state. While we strive to minimize processing times, it's important to acknowledge that certain states, like ********, may have longer processing durations extending to weeks or even months.

    Please rest assured that our team diligently facilitates the submission and processing of your application. However, the issuance of certificates is solely handled by the respective ************************s, over which we have no control.

    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of updates and difficulty reaching our customer service team. We're actively working to improve our communication channels and enhance customer support. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we're committed to addressing your needs to the best of our ability.

    Will charge you $10 more to get a birth certificate than a court house and then it won't show up and then they won't refund you the money $30 dollars gone

    This company is a total scam. I paid them 100 dollars in Nov of 2023 for a birth certificate another 25 dollars to use their online notary it is now June 10th of 2024 and I still have not gotten the birth certificate. I wrote them asking for a refund and they refused saying the up loaded the document to the CA health department in March of 2024 so was no longer their issue. I wish I would have read the reviews before I used this scam company and lost 125 bucks.

    Hello, *******.

    Thank you for your feedback. We have reviewed your case and confirm that your application was sent to the ***************************** which is solely authorized to issue and process these requests.


    Please note that processing times vary by state, and ********** is known to have one of the longest processing periods, often taking several months to issue certificates. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control as it is managed exclusively by the Health Department.


    We hope you receive your certificate soon.

    Im getting a lawyer! I paid for express service in March 2024, was told to verify my information, so I did. Now the ***************** is telling me they have nothing and that Ive been scammed!!! I have missed a trip to ******, now need the documentation for something else and still dont have it. No managers, foreign reps, and they dont want to refund me my money. I spoke with the vital statics for my state and I was told that they have not received anything from vital online records on my behalf and that I was scammed, they do not deal with this company. Please look into them. This is not good business.
